JMO, the award this year should go to Jameis Winston @ FSU...right both Bridgewater and Oregon QB Marcus Mariota are battling to be the #1 Overall Pick....both of those draft eligible QB have a higher grade than RGIII but not Luck...Winston on the other hand could be at the level of Luck:

QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville

RB Ka'Deem Carey , Arizona

QB Derek Carr, Fresno State

WR Brandin Cooks, Oregon State

WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M

RB Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin

QB Sean Mannion, Oregon State

QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M

QB Marcus Mariota, Oregon

QB AJ McCarron, Alabama

QB Aaron Murray, Georgia

QB Bryce Petty, Baylor

RB Bishop Sankey, Washington

RB Lache Seastrunk, Baylor

QB Jameis Winston, Florida State

Feel like Bortles got snubbed, but not everyone can be included I guess. I think Winston and Mariota are the inside track for these Maxwell and Heisman awards.

I agree...Bortles is very good and has a strong case...it would not surprise me if he is on the Unitas Award list...

It's unfortunate w won't be able to see a match up between Winston and Mariota.

Think that would be a great game, no doubt. Playoffs cant get here soon enough. Just wish the playoffs were 8 teams. Patience I guess.

I agree, Bortles does deserve to be on that list as well.
Flossy out...

here is his trophy

Bridgewater is scary good. Don't see any real weaknesses in his game. He throws a football like a dart with one of the quickest releases I remember seeing. Great attitude. I think Bortles should have been on the list also.

He should start getting a lot of praise in the 2014 Football season.

Agree that Winston is by far the Top Gun out there. FSU may very well be in NCG . Great Freshman.
Bridgewater is easily the next best along with Johnny Football Manziel. Haven't watched Oregon play this year yet, but the game with Stanford is looming large for NCG hopes so I assume Mariota is up for it.
