McCoy wins the Unitas

Posted by HenryJames on December 3rd, 2009 under Football

The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award goes to the top senior quarterback.

Tim Tebow is also a senior quarterback.

Tim Tebow did not win.

This will not end well.

  1. The “Johnny” Unitas Award?

    Or the lesser known senior-QB “L’Chaim” Unitas Award, which is given to the Best Senior Quarterback Who Isn’t Quite So Christian as the Other Guy?

  2. Sooooo Colt is Baal?

  3. I guess we’ll find out whether Tebus is the benovelent new testament deity he claims to be or whether he carries a little old testament fire with him. Look out for locusts.

  4. Teebow = Dathan.

  5. Ignoring the Tebow stuff and just looking at the accomplishment, this is an awesome achievement for McCoy and good work on the recognition by the selection committee. McCoy’s body of work is outstanding.

  6. CTJ – agreed. Well deserved for McCoy.

    I also wondered if it bode anything for the Heisman race. Can’t tell — here are the Unitas winners since 2000; there are a few Heisman winners on it, but offhand I’m not seeing much in the way of correlation:

    Chris Redman Louisville
    Chris Weinke Florida State
    David Carr Fresno State
    Carson Palmer USC
    Eli Manning Ole Miss
    Jason White Oklahoma
    Matt Leinart USC
    Brady Quinn Notre Dame
    Matt Ryan Boston College
    Graham Harrell Texas Tech

  7. If you rearrange Unitas it spells:

    I Satun

    Holy crap. I’m calling Dan Brown.

  8. From the SEC blogger on ESPN: Colt also owns Tebow on 3rd downs and red zone offense:

    http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/6750/tim-tebow-vs-colt-mccoy-on-key-downs

  9. I tend to dismiss the performance of quarterbacks who I haven’t seen combatively screech and howl while covered in garnet turf paint.

  10. I used to think Tebow was an okay fellow, and that I really just disliked how the media treated him. However, after this season, he has proven to be a genuine douche bag.

    Golden!

  12. Between Colt and Tebow there exists enough Jesus love to slay Mammon.

    Well-deserved by Colt and hopefully only the first of many big awards that will come his way in the next month. Here’s hoping it’ll all be topped off by the MVP award from the national championship game.

    If NU really wants to win they need to take a page from TO’s coaching career.

    1. Never let great talent leave the state, Nebraska is desolate for talent so when a good player comes around you have to land him.

    2. Develop a “system” where talent can flourish and help the team.

    Kiffin’s father is a great coach, but the rest of that staff isn’t. Orgeron and Kiffin are both good, dirty recruiters and mediocre to poor gameday coaches.

    How important is that in college football? How good of a gameday coach is Mack Brown? Greg Davis?

    I get what you’re saying, but honestly, it’s a cop out. Period. If the AD was to actually commit some resources into building a program, we would be competitive and probably would even give K-State a run for its money. We may never be a KU, but we sure as hell wouldn’t

    Totally agree re: RJ. I’m hesitant to shout it from the mountain tops until he does it against a contending team. So far his success has been against 2nd tier teams.

    Ginobili is just incredible to watch right now. Just goes to show how hurt he really must have been last season.
