Okay, I see that actually our offense has the most yards, and I forgot we have a really good running game in addition to Hooker.
But QBR is much more important than yards, and Hooker is second only to CJ Stroud

The great majority of them are informed reporters or (for the most part) former QBs, so they should be smarter voters than you give them credit for being.
And do stats really matter that much? In spite of protests to the contrary, what seems to matter most is big wins in November.
I feel confident that it will come down to how each performs in the Georgia and Michigan games, respectively. Since Michigan is later in the year, that's an advantage for CJ.
But...last year against Michigan, although he threw for 300+ yards and two TDs, his RTG was a lackluster 84 and they got smoked. That actually did factor into the race between him and Young.
This year is no different. IMO, it will come down to their respective performance in those two games.
Interestingly, Michigan is 4th in pass efficiency D while uga is 5th.

And uga has played NOBODY (well, Oregon, but in that game they got "bad Bo").
My take...at this point could care less about the Heisman. Keep Hooker away from injury. If he plays well against Uga and we win the game, he will definitely be the leading candidate, and then we can all hold our noses and root for the Michigan D.
