But we've seen how much success RB's have in the Heisman race. It's a QB award, so Trace would have the edge over Taylor.
SI.com lists McSorley as a Heisman front runner for 2018
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
Derrick Henry won 3 years ago. Yeah, QBs do seem to typically win but I don't see the logic in thinking Trace has the ability given our schedule to come close statistically to other top QBs in other conferences. A Big Ten player hasn't won since Troy Smith before him it was Ron Dayne and Charles Woodson. Trace won't have the needed hype or numbers. I think you know that

So funny how the inclusion or exclusion of the word NOT impacts the message. Almost like a 180. Almost, but not quite. ;-)
He's already getting hype being listed as a front runner. I think it will be tough for any PSU player to win because they play for PSU (as has been proven in the past) but to write his chances off already like you're doing is ludicrous.
I'm a Penn State fan who doesn't particularly like it either. If an opposing player did that, I'm pretty sure many on here would be criticizing it also.
"Up his asshole" is a game?
Where are tongs when you need them? (Not that there's anything wrong with that,)
Reports from my inside sources at practice indicate he's been practicing his crotch grab especially for the Pitt game. It's in CJF's notebook as a Heisman prerequisite now so not leaving anything to chance.
RBs from Bama seem to have a shot. Otherwise you better play QB to be considered. Trace is a gamer and will make big plays when needed whether he racks up huge stats or not. I think he's got a better shot than you think if things fall right.
I think he has a decent shot. Lots of weapons (losing Gesicki and Saquon will hurt, but others will step up just like Hamilton did this season without Godwin), two really good years of experience under his belt, an improved OL (hopefully), running the same system for a third year (assuming Rahne does not make big changes). Playing for a genuine contender seems to usually be a factor too.
And Heisman voters do seem to like mobile QBs (Newton, Manziel, Jackson, Mayfield, etc).

JoeMo told the QBs to come up with a celebration for long TD passes in practice. Blame him if you don't like it.
Agreed, it's not my favorite thing either. But compared to grabbing ones crotch while shouting expletives at the other team, it's pretty tame.
I'm not a fan, think its a little childish, but don't really care. If the worst thing you can say about your qb is that you don't like his pretend home run swing after big plays then you probably have a pretty good qb.
Pitt fans are hysterical.

McSorley and Pickett are not similar in the least. Pickett has a much stronger arm, more accurate than McSorley, and he's smarter than McSorley. He also has more guts than McSorley.

Picket and McSwirly are not even remotely in the same universe. Anyone with 2 eyeballs can see that Pickett is talent wise head and shoulders above that poser from the cesspool.

Don't get the comparison. McSorely isn't an accurate QB; never has been.

The only college QB with a worse deep ball than McSorely the last two years was Max Browne.

Heisman???? Where did that come from??? It's not even remotely possible for McSorley. Pickett is a very good QB and has more upside than McSorley, and he's far from a Heisman candidate. So I don't think McSorley is even being mentioned as a Heisman candidate, except by the cult.

This thread just shows how damn stupid this fan base is. One QB is a manning award finalist, the other has 2 starts under his belt.

I think Trace should be in the discussion. let's wait to see how the season plays out before we cast votes. My feeling is that we play better next year on offense. If the D steps up, we are in the running. We now have the talent we need to move up, not over. Sanders et al. will do quite well and give Trace more cover. He needs to improve his short game and the new coach should reduce number of options he makes. IMHO
So the pitters think he is the second coming of Dan Marino....after seeing him play one game.
We heard all about how great Browne was. Our defense got him benched. DiNucci came in and scrambled some in the 2nd half and the narrative changed to "if DiNucci had started..." Then Pickett is a part of the Miami win and he's suddenly the most accurate, stronger armed, more intelligent, etc.
I wouldn't expect anything less.
