Opinion: Sam Bradford Winning the Heisman

I was rather surprised about this.  Lets look at the facts.

Most Pass Attempts: Gram Harrell (568)
Most Completions: Gram Harrell (406)
Most Yards: Gram Harrell (4747)
Greatest Completion Percentage: Colt McCoy (77.6)
Most Average Yards Per Attempt: Sam Bradford (10.1)
Most Passing Touchdowns: Sam Bradford (48)
Least Amount of Interceptions: Tim Tebow (2)
Most Rushing Touchdowns: Colt McCoy (10)

The pass attempts, completions, and yards are all held by Harrell, but that is expected when he has more than 100 more attempts than anybody else.  McCoy has the best completion percentage, which I think is one of the most important factors.  Bradford did have the most overall touchdowns, but that and the most YPA are the only two things that he led in.  Is that enough to win the Heisman?  I don't think so.  I would have voted for McCoy because he could obviously pass (77.6 CP), but he could also run (10 rushing touchdowns).  That shows that his team trusts him, which is another important thing for me.
