Title: Jameis Winston Is Still The Heisman Favorite But Voters Are Dropping Him From Ba
Post by: bama57 on November 29, 2013, 01:13:01 PM
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is still the heavy favorite to win the 2013 Heisman Trophy despite the possibility that he could be suspended from the team if he is charged with a felony stemming from a 2012 sexual assault allegation.
According to sportsbook Bovada.lv, Winston is the favorite to win the award at 10/19, followed by Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron at 5/2.

I just don't think the voters will give him the Heisman with rape charges hanging over his head. If he wins it, every voter for him should be banned from ever voting again.

I really hope you are right
but after the CN win I ain't sure any more
maybe they will restore my confidence in the HT voting process 
we will see soon

I'm not convinced either.  CN shows character is a low priority among many voters.  This is only his freshman year, so why vote for him with all that is going on?  I personally don't see the need.  But there appear to be two camps, those who completely are leaving him off their ballots, and those voting him No. 1.   I agree with the writer who said the Heisman shouldn't be an ESPY, and there is room for "lifetime achievement."
