2023, you're my last hope
Will a phenomenal NCAA football player, injured from weeks 4-7 and completely off the field, get the Heisman?So if a QB for your team is out for the year does the rest of the team just sit on the sidelines??? The rest of his team still ran the races and he worked his Ass off to get back in time to even have a shot.
He ran 11 less races and still had the most wins in the series and made it in to the playoffs on points.
Same can be said for any other sport.
If Patrick Kane continues his crazy point scoring streak, but misses 20 games somewhere down the road, but comes back, he ain't winning a Hart trophy.
KB was given the 'out' of winning ONE of FIFTEEN races, which they pretty much figured he'd do, and finish in the top 30. THIRTIETH! Only 37 drivers started 30 races or more. (FWIW, 30th in points at the end was Justin Allgaier, not an especially strong driver with only 11 lead lap finishes and a 28th place average).
Way to set that bar way down there for your new poster boy, NASCAR.
