I usually agree with you...

In this instance, though, I think you’re out of your mind to rank Dalton or Kaepernick over Moore.

I think they are getting the nods because they are seniors…. I guess. I would have Luck #2 myself.

I think Luck should be #3- and I think

I’d have James or Moore #3… Of Kaepernick, Dalton, and Moore, I agree- I would rank Moore at the top

I'd rank Kyle Martens from Rice #1 for the Ray Guy-

I don’t usually follow punters but I saw 3-4 Rice games and he’s an NFL punter. I’d probably Rank Beal from OU ahead of Carder from TCU and personally I think Blackmon should win the Biletnikoff by a mile- he’s ridiculous. Good job Jeremy- I think you’ve inspired me to go ahead and make a ballot too.

O'Brian Award

is way off. Of course Moore should be #1 and here is why:
Moore: Rating 185.04 Passed for 3,506 yrds w/ 33 TD and only 5 Int. pass cmp. 71%
Luck: Rating 166.10 Passed for 3,051 yrds w/ 28 TD and with 7 Int, pass cmp. 70.2 %
Dalton: Rating 167.02 Passed for 2,638 yrds w/ 26 TD and with 7 Int. pass cmp. 66.2%

With politics aside and looking at the body of work, Moore should win hands down.
