Does Te'o really deserve the Heisman?

  • Status said...

    I know you're beginning to realize teo isn't winning but bringing up arrest records isn't going to help you.

    You're lucky teo is even there because if he played on any other team he wouldn't be.

    Yep, that is probably why he won all of those other award and why he is projected as the top 1 or 2 linebackers taken in the draft. It is all because he attended ND. I just cannot figure out why every recruit in the nation would not want to attend ND since they would get accolades and highty drafted based only on picking ND. j The most highly awarded player ever in one season and all because he went to ND. The first defensive player since 1980 to win the Maxwell Award and all because he went to ND.

    According to the article there is no "rape case". It claims the supposed second victim "never filed a criminal complaint".

    Gee I wonder why? Must have been all that "love" from Notre Dame football team...

    Yeah and I remember Tim Brown didn't deserve it either back then. A ND player could set every major record and he wouldn't deserve it. Hate blinds people.

    What records has Teo set? On the field I mean.

    Johnny Joke? He's the best freshman QB to ever play the game. Te'o can't nake any claim close to that?

    AD is the Best Freshman in the last 10 years before that Herchel Walker and Johnny Football can't carry their cleats. 3 pick in the second half versus LSU. He played 3 good teams and lost 2. The most over hyped player in decades.

    I have caught you lying multiple times. We all know your problems with the truth... Sorry I ruined you so bad you feel the need to stalk me. As I have asked once already, link where I claimed Te'o was second overall in passed defended.

    You brought it up when I asked about Teo's stats. I laughed at you , and you continued to talk about it. Now you're going to deny it? I admitted that I was wrong, but you're just pathetic.

    ...and still no link. You were wrong...multiple times. I pointed it out and apparently ruined you so bad that you feel the need to stalk me. You and I both know I never said what you claimed. If not then you have a reading comprehension problem as well as a problem with the truth and stalking.

    No, see, I admitted that I was mistaken, but you have not. You said he was second in the nation in passes defended.

    Te’o's 7 interceptions are the highest number of interceptions by a linebacker of the last twelve years. To give you an idea of how remarkable an achievement that is, there isn’t one other linebacker in the top 20 in interceptions and the next closest linebacker has just 4 interceptions. Te’o is tied for the lead in takeaways nationally (interceptions and fumbles recovered) with 9 (the other two leaders are defensive backs). Additionally, there isn’t a linebacker on record who has 7 interceptions and 100 tackles in a year (at least that we can find.) While some may look at Te’o's lack of sacks and/or tackles for loss, it’s important to note that he was asked to play a completely different role this year. When asked to play that role last year he had 5.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss. Those are outside linebacker numbers from the middle linebacker position. Ironically, pass coverage was supposed to be his one weakness coming into this year. Te’o played against many early Heisman candidates… who weren’t candidates after they played Notre Dame including Bell, Robinson, Taylor, Lee and Jones. If the criteria is “outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity“, it’s hard to argue any player has been more “outstanding while exhibiting the pursuit of excellence with integrity”, than Manti Te’o.

    Yep, Teo's numbers are good, not great.

    You're right, I was wrong. He's only second amongst LB's roflmao. He leads the country in ONE category, ONE. I also see that you fail to see the picture I posted. Dat Nguyen was twice the LB that Teo is.

    Nope. He's a great MLB talent on a great defense that has had an average year production-wise.

    He has 42 more tackles than anyone else on ND's defense...the #1 scoring defense in the nation. He is 2nd among all linebackers for passes defended. He blows away every linebacker in interceptions and is tied for third in the nation in interceptions among all players. How is that an "average year"?

    Yep you were wrong...yet again. I am losing count how many times I have proven you wrong the last couple of days. I guess you are going to stalk me even more since I made you look foolish yet again. Oh well, have fun with your childish antics.

    Why don't you get your facts straight. The young lady who ended her life filed charges of sexual assault, which if what you say is true, "touching a tit under a shirt" is a clear case of. I'm not going to go into the sheer evil it takes for a person to bully and intimidate another human being, so severely, that it leads to suicide.

    The case of rape, is a separate accusation, against another Notre Dame football player.

    As for "Oh and Local and State Police dismissed the allegations"...is that stupidity or just a bold face lie? The case was under the jurisdiction of the NOTRE DAME CAMPUS POLICE. They are the only ones who "investigated" the allegations. I say "investigated" this way with " " as it does not take a rocket scientist to know that you don't wait 15 days after the alleged crime happens to interview the suspect. But you do if you want to cover up facts. Hell they didn't speak to the suspect in the sexual assault case until 5 days after the girl had killed herself. And the guy in the rape case admitted that he threw the girl's panties away in the trash long before the cops got there. That's some Barney Fife skills there. Any attempt at an investigation thereafter would be fruitless. Evidence gone, stories made straight, lawyers involved...nothing could ever come from an investigation when there are parties involved seeking to hide any hint of wrong doing.

    Oh and as for your assertion that the girl, who committed suicide, had "attempted suicide before going to college", that's another lie too. You accuse others of using "zero knowledge", and here you are lying your ass off.

    This is why nobody likes you Notre Dame fucks...if anything threatens your "holier than thou" image, you attack it like a bunch of rabid dogs, even if it means protecting the face of evil. You all should be ashamed, and should be demanding an proper investigation and punishment for those IF convicted. But you don't care, your campus police doesn't care, your school president, whose a priest, doesn't care...just so long as your image and your football team are protected.

    All of this, especially the part about " you Notre Dame fvcks". Very OVA- rated.

    Also, he's not even in the top 20 for solo tackles. Is there a defensive scheme to prevent him from making tackles?
