Tim Tebow makes plea to Heisman Trophy voters on behalf of Brock Bowers
ATHENS — It’s a given that Brock Bowers — or any other non-quarterback — will need help from the college football hype machine to have any shot at winning the Heisman Trophy.
Comments
Brock Bowers is the best college football player in the country.
Thanks, Tim Tebow, for saying what should be said.
Go, Dawgs!
Brock is the best but because he is a non-complainer me guy most people do not know he has been playing with multiple injuries. If his injuries were well socialized he would garner more attention but so be it, he just isn't that person. However, we all know
HE IS THAT GUY
Brock Bowers for Heisman! Go Dawgz.😎
How about the one handed catch that was called by by a penalty at Auburn. Jerry Rice would be pleased with that. He's the best player in college football.
Yeah, that's the highlight you won't normally see because it's "not a catch". But was easily one of the best catches I've seen all year. The 2 bowers one-handed catches against auburn back 2 back, and the one by rara this weekend are tops to me. And Tebow, with what is written above, didn't even mention the blocking ability of bowers.
"Being part of an undefeated team bodes well, as evidenced by Stetson Bennett’s fourth-place finish in the Heisman race last season."_____@MikeGriffith
It does, if you play for anybody, but, UGA. Lol
If Bennett had played for Bama, OSU, USC or one of the BIG12 teams...he would've won the Heisman. Those guys, shamelessly campaign for it, every year...and ESPN selects their faves.
You can't tell me, that Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray or Tim Tebow was a "Better QB" than Stetson. I've got eyes, too. Lol Bennett didn't play on a "Stat-friendly"...."ESPN Darling Team"....or, for a Head Coach that values that Award...[which is the real deciding factor]. But...that's water under the bridge.
IMO....Tebow and Bowers are "birds-of-a-feather". Bowers could've played QB or RB....and Tebow could've played RB or TE. Tebow needed ESPN's "Push"....and so will Bowers.
The only difference between those two players....is their Head Coach. Smart is not the "Politician" that Urban Meyer was. Kirby is a Football Coach...learning to navigate the political side [and doing a darned good job, at that].
I don't get the sense, that Kirby holds much value in that "Award". However...I think he's starting to see the "recruiting value" in having a "Heisman Trophy Player" to point to on recruiting visits. That's why Bowers and Beck got as much playing time, as they did, in the first 3 or 4 games. IMO
One other thing that's starting to come into focus...ESPN is a racist organization that views everything through a lens, that doesn't see Caucasian. Lol...UGA is one of the few teams, that have almost as many white players, as black players, at the skill positions.
I think that's a stone in ESPN's shoe...which is why their "Bulldog Spotlight" is so dim when held up to the light shining on Bama, OSU, Colorado and USC. Those guys aren't better...they are darker....and, that's why racist ESPN covers em different.
I'm just calling it, like I see it. I could be dead wrong. I sincerely hope i am. If I am...please point out, what I'm missing.
Go Dawgs!!!
I actually thought they would show that on the SEC FINAL Show, that comes on, late Saturday night on the SEC Network. But....it's UGA. Lol
That first one, that was nullified...was absolutely amazing. It's the most awe inspiring one-handed catch I've ever seen....because he caught a rope, with one hand...in stride...without using his body to control it. I've NEVER seen that....in any venue...sandlot or organized football.
There are so many things that sets Brock Bowers apart from all the rest. He is such a team player that he may not even care about the Heisman! That is very impressive and more difficult to find with each passing year, especially among the superstars. He doesn’t have a cute dance to do following a touchdown, he finds the nearest teammate and celebrates.
GO DAWGS!
I used to worship The Heisman, back in the 60's and '70's...[when I was a kid...Lol].
Till they gave it to Roosevelt Leaks. And...after giving it to Archie Griffin twice...while denying Herschel Walker [arguably the greatest CFB Player...EVER] the Award, just because, "he was a Freshman". Herschel should have been a 2-time...if not 3-time...Heisman recipient. BUT....Archie Griffin?!...c'mon man. Lol
IMO...It's NOT a "Football Award". Moreover...in hindsight...maybe, it never was. It's a media award...for the best hype spin.
From the humility and putting Team first that we’ve seen from Brock Bowers. I doubt very seriously he’s all that concerned about the ESPN oops Heisman Award !! His Reward will come in numerous ways but a multi, multi, million $$$ contract in the NFL will be very nice for him to !! 😀. Go Brock Bowers you DGD !!! Go Dawgs !!!
You forgot one of the ways he'll be rewarded. Lol
He'll never have to buy another meal or drink, in the State of Georgia. WE know who and what he is...and, don't need the likes of the sycophantic network morons, to tell us.
He is part of "The UGA Bulldog Network"...and, that's far more valuable than any Trophy, in my eyes. And, his too...IMO.
Guys, guys, guys...
we all know he is playing with a fractured hand that he is recovering from right?
Tebow knows and so do most on the inside of what is going on.
Marvin Harrison Jr. ----puuuuuhlease stop!
It should be obvious we have 2 of the top 4 guys in college and YES Beck is the other guy. Be Thankful.
I don’t care where he played football, I’ve always respected Tebow. Seems like a genuine good dude. College football could use more guys like that.
And I agree, Bowers is the best player in college football today. Dude plays as hard as anyone and is tough as nails. He too seems like a fine young man. I’ll pull for guys like that, no matter where they play ball.
BOWERS FOR HEISMAN!
GO DAWGS!
Amen to that !! He’ll be in the DGD Hall Of Fame for Any Dawgs fans that have watched even a smidgen of Dawgs football since he’s been here !! No doubts on that. And If one of our Dawgs Does win the Heisman any time soon it’d be a nice paper weight.
But in all honesty I don’t think many if any of our Dawgs really care that much about it. It’s for the glamor boys who tend to fizzle in the NFL. And before somebody calls me out on that No I didn’t say All Heisman winners fizzled in the NFL or even most, but there have been Allot.
Let’s face it the award is not given to the Most Capable player, it’s given to the most glitzy glamorous player. Sometimes that guy will go on to do well in the NFL other times not so much. Allot of times guys that didn’t even get a vague sniff at even being invited to the Heisman will go on to the NFL and be Awesome !!
Lastly I don’t like that it’s Almost exclusively a QB award. Oh they’ll slip a RB or a WR in there once every decade or so to give the illusion of fairness. But primarily it’s QB, QB, QB, rinse and repeat !!
Heisman is not the only Media slanted award either. So like you said and I agree, if they award him with it, he’s to humble to be an azz about it. He’d be respectful and gracious As Usual, but deep down I bet Brock Bowers could care less about the glorified paper weight the Heisman is. It IS sad that’s what it has become.
But he’s a Team guy, the epitome of what NFL owners will Want to spend their $$$ on !! I bet Even in the NFL Brock will be a Solid Team Oriented guy. Not a Me, Me, Me guy !!
He reminds me a lot of that kid from Stanford...Christian Mccafferey...with a little bit of Jim Brown and Larry Zonka mixed in. Lol
BTW...There was ONE DB that I remember, getting "The Heisman". And, he played for...guess who....Media darling, "Michigan". I don't recall his name, off hand....Charles "something". Wooden or Woods...or, something like that. Lol...it'll come to me.
Charles Woodson. Lol...told ya it would come to me.
Brock Bowers deserves every accolade that can be bestowed to a player. Top notch abilities and performances, exemplory off field behavior and a humbleness that only the best can show. The culture among the best at UGA lends itself to sharing the load and the glory...Brock is so outstanding that he can share the load and glory and still be a national star, highly considered for the Heisman. He has my vote!
Y’all PLEASE forgive the off topic. But I post here allot and I feel I’m among friends not just anonymous folks in cyber world. I sure don’t mean to be a cry baby. But I got some bad news yesterday.
I went to see my oncologist for Both a routine visit and some follow up on an MRI. First let me say in ALL Sincerity Praise God I don’t have bone cancer !! I have CLL Leukemia so I’m prone to other types of cancer. But I’m doing Very good on that front.
But in Addition to her recommending me to have my Right hip replaced, which I pretty much saw that coming. It turns out I have Two separate tears in my Left knee meniscus. The medial side has tears and the lateral side has tears.
Now she as an oncologist said they Might be able to just patch it up through arthroscopic surgery. She stressed Might and said clearly that’d be a decision by an ortho surgeon. It’s definitely gonna have to have work as it also has chondromylcia ( fluid build up) and heat in it. I think that probably the orthopedic surgeon will want to do the knee first.
The thing is IF I need a total knee, well just Wow !! Because just the hip is a lengthy rehab and recovery deal by its self !! And I’d have to Wait a pretty good while to rehab and recover to get whichever the second one is done.
At 66 well on my way to 67 I ain’t like our young Dawgs !! 😂 My back also has a bunch of Issues but doesn’t require any immediate surgery, if I live long enough on down the road yeah probably.
Both my shoulders have Issues, but like my back I can slide by on them awhile. And in addition to all this Fun I have other medical issues to numerous to even go into. BUT I Know for a fact there are Plenty of people By Far worse off than me !! I’d just appreciate your prayers !! I Know deep down God’s got this !!
I’m a Very Blessed man, just belly aching and whining like a big baby !! Gosh you’d think I was a Mud Lizard fan or some thing !! 😂
OK Thank Yall for listening to my pity party !! Paging Ron Courson !! Paging Ron Courson !! God Bless you each and every one and your families !!
I Love our Dawgs, and I Love Dawgs fans !! I Love all things that are good about Dawgs football !! And the Lord Jesus Loves Me ( and You to !!) So it’s all good !!
I Really enjoy talking with Y’all on here, and have allot of respect and appreciation for your comments and football knowledge !! But Hey we All know that Dawg Nation is THE BEST fan base in ALL College Football !! Go Dawgs !!! Just a little storm in life, I appreciate Y’all loaning me an umbrella !!
Totally agree! I think there's some common character across Bowers and Tebow. Massively hard workers, team first, and humble... all while being world class at their positions while in the SEC
These are the kind of role models people need today, especially young ones...
