Heisman trophy does not mean NFL success!

[Brett A]

I was reading a story on Tim Tebow and his troubles adapting to the pro game. And that got me to thinking about how past Heisman winners have done. It looks like QB'S have won it the most recently and the majority have bombed except for Carson Palmer. You have names like Matt Leinhart, Jason White, Eric Crouch, Chris Weinke, Danny Weuffel, Charlie Ward, Gino Torretta, Ty Detmer and Andre Ware. Add Palmer into that group and that is all of the QB'S that have won it since 1987. And going over the rest of the list and there is not many star QB'S except for names like Hornung, Staubach, and Plunkett. Other positions have had more success but it still not a guarranty that they are going to be succesful. The point I was getting to before I started to ramble is after Tim Tebow's performance today that he has a long road ahead of him.

I'm going on memory but didn't the Saints go for Reggie Bush as their first pick when everyone thought he'd be 3rd pick? If so very astute Saints spotters

It took the saints a few years to learn how to use him, but he is hitting his groove. If they would have used him as a every down RB he would have already been out of the league.
