Timmy, did you say McFadden is a "gimmick player?" So a RB who runs for over 1700 yards in split duty with 15 TDs and no fumbles, throws for 4 TDs, and catches 1 Td is a gimmick player?

I think you deliberately twist my words, Hillary. McFadden is a great player (I think I said that), but he is used in a gimmicky fashion (I don't see how you can dispute that). Winning at Arkansas has become secondary to fashioning an offense that allows McFadden to pad his stats. Arkansas' coach evidently thinks McFadden's quest for Heisman is more important than pursuing team goals.

Really? Let's take a look at your words then.

Your Post #67 reads in part,

As for Tebow, I like him. But the number one stat for quarterbacks is wins, and he inherited the defending national champions. Three losses should eliminate him from Heisman consideration. I can understand the infatuation with McFadden, who probably should have won last year, but he's become a gimmick player on a team that was out of it early.

I simply throw out some pertinent stats and you accuse me of twisting your claim that he's a gimmick player?. Your assertion that he's a gimmick player suggests he's not genuinely talented and worthy.

Nutt used McFadden the way anyone would who wanted to get the most out of one player on offense. Their QB barely qualifies as such and their receiving core is a joke. He'd be a Nut not to exploit his considerable talents when he otherwise lacks some vital components... and I'm no great fan of the coach either but he can spot greatness.

Oh, and calling me Hillary--that's real cute, Timmy.
