I get all that with Frazier and think there is merit to it. I think Frazier should be remembered as an excellent college player but not one of the best of all time like he is frequently mentioned.
I guess it depends on your opinion. and your criteria. Is a QB with a laser arm that can't run a better college football player than a QB that can't throw well but can run? Is the better athlete a better football player or the better leader or the more intelligent.
I think most think of Frazier as one of the best option/running QBs, but Oklahoma had QBs that were faster and shiftier in the open field.
Obviously many folks put not only winning, but winning championships high on their list of criteria. With Tommie's 2 national titles, 3 MVP performances in National championships bowl games and a 4 year record of 45-4, some folks are going to give him credit as a great player.
I'm not saying that it's right or wrong, it's just an opinion.
In my opinion the hypesman trophy should be awarded to a Linebacker, running back, safety, Defensive End or Tight End instead of a QB.
The best football players are guys that can Hit and take hits, block, tackle, run, and jump. Not fragile QBs with a great arm.
Tebow, Frazier, Newton, Charlie Ward, Frost, Crouch, and many others as college QBs are very good examples of football players. IMO
