True or False: Winning the Heisman has become a "Curse" entering a Future NFL Career..

[Valenth]

Seems like a majority of Heisman winners as of lately havent done too well NFL-Wise.... Thoughts?

[Chieftain2009]

2014: Marcus Mariota - Too early to tell.
2013: Jameis Winston - Too early to tell.
2012: Johnny Manziel - Not good so far.
2011: Robert Griffin III - Had some immediately, but no success since then.
2010: Cam Newton - Has been very good lately.
2009: Mark Ingram - Not much success quite yet.
2008: Sam Bradford - Has started some, but not a lot of success.
2007: Tim Tebow - No success at the pro level.
2006: Troy Smith - No success at the pro level.
2005: Reggie Bush - Some success here and there.
2004: Matt Leinart - No success at the pro level.
2003: Jason White - No success at the pro level.
2002: Carson Palmer - Plenty of success at the pro level.
2001: Eric Crouch - No success at the pro level.
2000: Chris Weinke - No success at the pro level.

So, in conclusion, they don't do too well.

Heisman winners are good college players that often don't make it in the pros.

[Valenth]

Exactly.

Just like some outstanding HS players can't compete at the college level, so be it for college to pro level.

Well it's an award for the best QB or RB on a top 10 team. Not the best player or MVP in college football

Manziel is getting better with more experience and playing time, but will be seriously challenged in the coming weeks.

I'm neutral on this topic. Some high school players never get a look but walk on in college and do well. I thinks some of it is getting the chance, rather it be pro or college.

They don't do well historically in the bowl game immediately following their win.

That is true.... Its almost like they didnt leave the Heisman party realm and never showed up to the Bowl Game... guess they figured they had nothing else to prove.

The dumbest award in sports. They should have done away with it when Gino won the award over Marshall Faulk in 1992. It's not the best player or MVP award.

Voting is done by regions and some of these people who get to vote is a joke.
Plus you do not want to upset some of these jokers.
Some of these people are like Mark May. If he had a vote he would be for the guy that sit on the edge for Pittsburgh.
