Ok... do you agree the Heisman Trophy is supposed to be awarded to the best collegiate football player? If so...... Charles White, Archie Griffin, Charlie Ward, Gino Torretta, Mike Rozier, Troy Smith, Danny Wuerfel, Rashan Salaam, Jason White, Gary Beban, Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch, Ty Detmer, Andre Ware..........shall I go on?

BTW....Im not trying to hassle you....just having a little fun.

Like I said Quarterback is a different position in college than it is in the NFL. I know Salaam had drug problems, not sure about Rozier, Griffin and White. Maybe they had phenomenal offensive lines in college and weren't as good as they seemed. White played with Anthony Munoz at USC and he's considered the greatest offensive tackle in NFL history. Rozier played on one of the greatest college teams ever.

This ranking is not a Good vs. Bad ranking like scoring AVG. The bottom 10 on this list are at least as good as the top ten

Too much Giddy Up

The backswing hand path needs to go.

That's just a start.

Is it that he does not rotate his left/right forearm correctly and clubshaft properly and has too much "up?" Is one one the causes of that because he doesn't clear his right hip enough during his start up which aids in the poor club path?

He's not accurate off the tee anymore. My philosophy is that I don't think he would become less accurate if his vertical launch was more optimized...and he would gain probably 40-50 yards. If I could hit the ball with the same accuracy and gain 40-50 yards, it's really a no brainer for me what to do.

The problem with this list is that 3 of the players suffered major injuries and for the most part injuries are not a big factor in golf. In football, it's one of the biggest factors in the league. It can end a career or alter a career for the worse and can cause a team's performance to dip dramatically. Leaf was a headcase and Russell has zero motivation. I think what the poster was getting at is that just because you're a great college player, even if you have the work ethic it doesn't mean it will translate to the PGA Tour. I think Russell could've been very good if he had a decent work ethic. Leaf could be made an argument for you because you have to be a mature adult to play well and last on the PGA Tour Olawakandi wasn't very motivated either. I really hate to see Sam Bowie up there because when his knees were good, he was a great player and would've been an HoF'er had his knees not been shot by his 3rd year.

Old thread AND off topic but I gotta defend my man Archie Griffin. He was a GREAT college running back and got drafted by the BENGALS. Need I say more?

At the time, the Bengals were at the beginning of the West Coast offense (Bill Walsh was the offensive coordinator before he went to the 49'ers) but they did not run the ball much. When the Bengals DID run the ball they used Archie's college teammate Pete Johnson (big bruising fullback). SO, Archie didn't have the pro career many expected but he had a good career considering. Back to the golf :)
