Barry Sanders

Roger Staubach

O.J. Simpson

Paul Hornung

Charles Woodson

Tony Dorsett

Tim Tebow

Earl Campbell

Marcus Allen

Cam Newton[/list]

I can't argue with 1, but having Cam Newton and Tim Tebow on there can't be right. I don't know 10 Heisman Winners, but I think Desmond Howard had a better career than either Tim Tebow or Cam Newton to this point.

My question is: Is this a list of the best of the Heisman winners in COLLEGE ball or in the NFL?

EDIT: I should clarify for Zero before his brain freezes.. Are we looking at their college career or NFL career? Reading the list, I'm implied upon that they are only looking at the college careers.. Because if they are looking at their NFL careers, there's no way Cam or Tebow makes that list.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

It would make most sense that they take a list of every Heisman winner who played in the NFL, then took the top 10 NFL careers from them. To which, I don't understand how Newton and Tebow are mentioned.

If it's based on college career, I don't think Barry Sanders should be 1. I think others in college have had a better college career than he. Although he does/did have an impressive TD NCAA record.

I dunno man.. I agree if this is a NFL career list, I agree in that Tim and Cam need not apply.

Apparently this if the NFL Films response that these were the factors thought in.

Who had the best NFL career?
Who had signature plays and great moments?
Who had box-office appeal? Who sells tickets? Who sells jerseys?
Who has cultural resonance? Who passes the Mom test?

Tim Tebow above Earl Campbell? Someone needs to be punched in the face.

I'm not pro or anti Tebow. My reasoning is simple - Earl Campbell is in the fucking Hall of Fame. Tim Tebow is not and will never be.

(Earl Campbell also sponsors some pretty good sausage, so the whole culture thing can't be brought up as Campbell is just as much a part of pop culture).

Now Woodson does belong up there as Woodson will be in the Hall of Fame (I don't even think this is arguable any more) and California wine snobs know about Woodson's wines.

Tebow might even be a one-year wonder. I foresee Cam Newton having a decent NFL career. If it weren't for Denver's tough D, Tebow wouldn't have even had the chance to lead comebacks.

I would be very surprised if Tebow was still in the NFL in 2015. Barring injury, Newton should still be starting for somebody.

More people will watch it and talk about it if it has Tebow and Newton on it instead of some old retired guys.

The suckage that is the AFC west sucks copius amounts of bovine fecal matter. I'll give you a mulligan since you live out there in la la land. Be nice now.

Zero2Cool (7h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (7h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (9h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (10h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (10h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (14h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (14h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (17h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
