Peppers as a Heisman finalist is embarassing

[wildchild11]

SteveDarsh, on a Little Brother scale of 1-10, having gifs bookmarked in your browser and armchair nfl scouting ready to go from the Jabrill Peppers thread on RCMB is a 10.

the lack of recent big 10 championships is a problem for us though. we badly need one

Lol are these two still bitching

I guess the rivalry is really back now. A couple years ago there was nothing for them to argue about.

The media doesn't bash harbaugh, come on. They might point out the weird **** he does because it's weird, but they love seeing Michigan do well. Harbaugh helped ESPN score the best regular season ratings for a game in years for The Game this year. That's the way to ESPN's heart.

There has to be some explanation for how Peppers finished 5th in voting. It's certainly not from his performance on the field. You can blame holding for the Samuel run but what about when he got juked out by Barrett in the open field? JT might be elusive around the pocket but he's anything but in the open field. A defensive Heisman candidate doesn't miss that tackle. So again how can we explain him being included? In 3 pages we haven't seen any support for why... just that we are haters. People have posted names of players that are significantly better on defense. He's a good returner but hasn't had a fantastic season on special teams (in part because teams are gameplanning around him). He's had a few good games on offense but in nothing more than gimmicky use. you could argue that he didn't do any better than leaving in your starters over him. His 4 carries for 4 yards against OSU really stands out.

As a Michigan fan you should be upset, too, because comparing him to Woodson or Howard is disrespectful. He will never be the player those two were.

You keep posting that there are better defensive players than him which would be a good argument against him being the DPOY and that there are better returners which would be a good argument against returner of the year....but youve yet to post one that is better in all 3 phases than him (Adoree Jackson is better fwiw). I just dont see why you and Steve Darsh care so much. He's not going to win and there have been some pretty bad heisman finalists lately that I never saw anyone bitch about (Jordan Lynch, Trevone Boykin last year, Collin Klein)

If Peppers played for anyone but Michigan you guys wouldnt give a fuk

I doubt a defender will ever win heisman again

As for Michigan players, I would draft Jour�-don Lewis over the pepster every time.

I'd personally draft 3-4 players on UMs D over Peppers but what do I know

Wooden hips. Overpursuit. Constantly flat-footed and burned in the open field by a QB. Embrassing.

Peppers, are Watson, and Lamar are all outstanding players but in the grand scheme of the Heisman history they are definitely poverty. Lamar Jacksons goof ass hittin the Heisman pose before going on to getting rekt by an unranked team is unforgivable.

Everyone already exposed Peppers.

Watson is just I dunno. underwhelming as fuq. turnover machine for the first half of the season, continued to struggle against nobodies in the second half. just kinda meh. I will say this though, even if he isn't as "electrifying" as lamar i'd prefer to see him win.

He's tailed off towards the end. Was putting up historic efficiency stats still midway through the season.


He'll win his Heisman in 2018.
