I ask, because we're cruising along with perhaps 5-7 candidates who aren't having seasons that appear to be remotely historic or generational in nature. Sayin seems to be the front-runner - he's having a good passing season for an undefeated team. The rest of the field looks solid, but again, none appear to be performing at a level that would put them on an oil painting.
It made me think of the royal head-scratchers. Who were the worst in recent memory? This excludes the revisionist justifications based on zero or minimal professional accomplishments, or even "robberies."
My first thought is Gino Torretta - a sub-60% passer who barely exceeded 3,000 yards on a Miami team that won a lot of games due to its defense and piss-poor schedule. Maybe Mark Ingram - 1,600 yards and 17 touchdowns who won because those numbers came on an Alabama team?
