Why Arkansas' Darren McFadden Does Not Deserve the Heisman

Tim Tebow, on the other hand, has done everything humanly possible—whether it be on the ground or in the air—to keep Florida in the hunt for an SEC title, which they just fell short of.

McFadden?  He's compiled some great numbers, and had some excellent performances at key times of the season.

But while exciting to watch, his performance ultimately doesn't add up to much when the paint has dried.

You can argue that McFadden single handedly beat the best team in the country—but Tebow's Gators beat the other team that toppled the Tigers of Louisiana State.  You can say that McFadden doesn't have a great supporting cast—but Felix Jones somehow managed to average 9.1 yards per carry behind the Arkansas O-line.

Like D-Mac, Daniels and Tebow have also played alongside good players.  The difference?

Their teams are ranked #1 and #10, respectively.  And the Tigers and Gators would not be held in such high esteem without the leadership of these two individuals.

Darren McFadden's performance in 2007 is one that none of us will soon forget.  His stellar play on Friday was nothing short of heroic and amazing.

But the Heisman trophy belongs to a Quarterback this season, plain and simple.  Here's hoping the voters will do the right thing.
