I don't think Heisman winner translates to NFL superstar. I'm pretty sure the majority of Heisman winning QB's went on to have less than stellar careers in the NFL.

Ty Detmer
Danny Wuerfell
Chris Weinke
Charlie Ward
Gino Torretta
Andre Ware

It almost like the Heisman becomes a curse on a QB's carreer.

yea, we have a knack for choking on the big games - I just hope our retarded coach can keep them in line for at least 1 full season.
