Can he really win it? Part I

After we began this site, I have received the same question several times, "Can he really win it?" In reality that question has nothing to do with Spiller actually winning the Heisman, but instead people are really wanting to know if he is a legitimate candidate. Well let's run down the other candidates and proceed from there.

1. Tim Tebow
I list him first not because of his football talents but because of the immense love that the media has for this guy. Thom Brennaman threw out this golden nugget during the national championship, "If you spent 10 minutes with this young man than your life would be changed for the better." REALLY. Or after Tebow was penalized for taunting Oklahoma with the game already won Brennaman stated, "that might have been the first thing he's ever done wrong in his life." WOW.

2. Sam Bradford
The defending Heisman winner is back for his Jr. year. Sam Bradford is arguably the most accurate QB in college football. He led the Sooners to the most points EVER scored in a season by a College team. He is a great leader and has all the intangibles you could ask for at the QB position.

3. Colt McCoy
Many people forget that McCoy, not Tebow, finished as the runner up for the Heisman. McCoy may be the only QB that can say he is more accurate than Bradford as he broke Daunte Culpepper's completion percentage record. Colt finished the season completing 76.7% of his passes smashing Culpepper's 73.6%. He was also his teams leading rusher and ran for 12 more yards than the angelic Tim Tebow.

Those are the top three. Spiller definitely won't go into the season as the favorite, but he does have some advantages which I'll list in Part II.
