Come on guys, vote for Braxton for the Davey O'Brien award!

Guys... There are plenty of us on 11W... We need to vote for Braxton for the Davey O'Brien award... Do you really want Johnny Manziel (an $EC quarterback with twice the votes Braxton has) to win? What about the fact that Dee-nards is right behind ole' XBrax360? We're The Ohio State University! We have the numbers, we have the largest fanbase of any collegiate team, and we need a win! What would Urban do? He'd bring the Juice! Register and vote!

Honestly, i really would like to but if i did vote it prolly would be for klein as much as i hate to say it. I say we don't play Brax this upcoming week, let Kenny take the reins as a qb. Kenny deserves it and I think Brax needs it. Yes i know Brax is a heisman candidate but i think with Kenny in as qb if he takes ahold of this offense and flourishes, then let him play until proven otherwise. From what i've seen him do this year, he has done a great job.

I'm sorry, but I try to be as objective as possible.  There aren't many Qbs better than Brax, but there are a few.

A&M supports their field general...Denard is right on Braxton's ass? Go vote for your star player, just like every other fanbase. Don't let him get passed by a QB as undeserving as Denard Robinson.

For an award that is supposedly the most prestigious quarterbacking award given out each year, how much influence do fans actually have in this? I highly doubt it could be that much. I'm pretty sure they don't even say.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I voted Colin.

Here's the info from the Davey O'Brien Award website:

Narrowed down from all 124 starting quarterbacks from NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision schools, semifinalists were selected by the Davey O’Brien National Selection Committee, with the Fan Vote accounting for five percent of the total vote. The committee was asked to consider the following criteria: quarterback skills, athletic ability, academics, character, leadership and sportsmanship.

Missed that, so is 5% worth agreeing to receive newsletters/notifications via e-mail from the Davey O’Brien Foundation in the future?

I understand if you don't think Braxton is the best choice for the award (kinda), but why would you vote against him?

Right now, Klein deserves it.  There's really no argument.

Maybe Klein deserves it, maybe he's a much less talented version of Tim Tebow. Braxton gets smacked around to give those of us on this forum hope in every game and something to talk about after each game. In my opinion, if you can't bring yourself to vote for him, don't vote at all.

Braxton is also carrying most of the weight on his shoulders where Geno and Klein have a better supporting cast around them. I'm not saying Braxton is more deserving, its just one thing to consider.

ya and Brax has impressed me very little this year with his mid range and short range passing but his long range hasn't been atrotious, just about what i expect from a sophmore

How does Klein's running ability and explosiveness compare to our young Braxton's?

Why are people gushing over Klein as a clear cut better pick than Braxton. Braxton and Klein are withing 20 yards passing of eachother, Braxton has 1 more TD. Braxton has close to double Kleins rushing yards, but Klein has 4 more TDs. However, Klein is KSU's goalline player. If you give all of those 2-5 yard TD's that Boren, Smith, and Hyde have, Braxton blows Klein away in that too. Statiscally they are having very similar years and I might even give the edge to Braxton due to big play potential

Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite

I get your point buckeye in ann arbor, but look who is winning the damn thing! Manziel and right behind him is the Baylor QB who doesn't even belong in the conversation. Geno Smith isn't up there either and he is probably 1 of 3 who actually should be there.

Stop with this "I'm not a homer" crap! Vote for Braxton because guess what, other fans are voting for their guy despite how ridiculous it may seem! If you want unbiased voting, don't leave it up to fan voting because it won't be!

hey..it's not our fault they allowed us to vote. I don't care if i think Braxton belongs on there. If you make it an option for me, consider it done.

After my recent vote, Denard is three votes ahead of braxton. Come on people let's pick up the slack and have everyone vote every day and we can easily catch Manziel and win this for Brax! He deserves over Manziel easily!

He has a better chance at the Doak Walker! Not a complete passer as others in the running.

Compare the QB stats and the DO'B crtiereia and then ask yourself, "why not Braxton?"

Seriously, some QB's are a little better at some thing than others, but I want Braxton starting for my team...
