Free safety DeAndre Houston-Carson of William and Mary finished second in the voting.That's even more stupid.
If someone from UR wins next season,Danny should stiff those clowns and boycott the whole group.Right up there with the FIFA guys.

Jacobi should just take this as even more motivation to run rough shod over the Redbirds and prove who's the best player right now in VA and maybe the nation. He's playing and those other 2 guys are sitting at home. Guess these stupid voters forgot that who's still in the mix wins out over those who are "losers".
I'd rather win the game every time, writers vote?
Don't forget we were up 14 in the 4th when Vad went down.

Vad Lee is a very good player. But if you miss 40% of your team's games, how the hell can you be the best player in the state?? Total garbage.
Big enough snub to provide little extra motivation to jacobi and entire team, especially o-line.
Who cares what those bias clowns think. They'd vote for Mo Allie Cox for football player of the year before Jacobi. I'm sure Jacobi would rather still be playing anyway.

Consolation is we're still playing and Vad's teams got knocked out in their first playoff game the last 2 seasons. That's the real important thing, not individual stats, which I guess this award is based on.
Jacobi was the most important/valuable player on a team that's in the final 8. Vad played 8 games of a 12 game season and put up a lot of fantasy stats.

Listened to the Vad interview this AM (I know he is a JMU guy, but well spoken, humble kid). At any rate, he was asked if he expected to be even nominated for Dudley after getting hurt. His answer "No".
Much like Briante winning Defensive player of the year award last year, seemed like the voters made this some type of lifetime achievement award, versus best player in the state in 2015.

I'm actually more upset about the W&M dude coming in second. He had 2 games to try and stop Jacobi and failed miserably each time.
Wait, no write in votes for Michael Brewer? I wonder how many of the voters knew that Vad missed half the season or just voted "for the guy who won last year".
I believe the Dudley award originated in 1990 and as far as I can remember we have only had one winner (Marc Megna in 1998). Let me know if there is someone I am omitting. Even in the 2008 Title season Rodney Landers won the award.
Still prefer to be where we are (still playing) but the voting for this thing is strange.

I'm not defending the vote at all, but I think I may understand some of the issue. I think many of us may have taking for granted the season brian brown is having. It's very very good. And he's a Richmond kid. And folks love QBs so KL may even get some votes. If those 2 are getting any looks, that takes away from Jacobi. Add in that he isn't a FBS transfer, and Vad is the first 2 time winner, and you can see how it happens. Not saying it is right, just saying I understand how it happened.
Burton said on his show today that he voted Jacobi #1. McElroy said (link above) that he voted for Lee.
I can't follow that logic/excuse at all "not an FBS transfer?" Two other UR players having a good year?
Clearly I disagree with the voting logic, but I expect most voters to automatically give a FBS transfer more respect than an FCS recruit. These guys cover FBS schools and so a UVA writer is more likely to be impressed with a guy that started in the ACC. And I do think that Brown got some votes by the Richmond media and therefore stole some that may have gone to Green.
All in all, my point was about as well made as our regular media. And it doesn't matter. I'm moving on to ISU.

Yeah. Burton listed the voting results and who received first place votes briefly on his show yesterday. Just goes to show you that the local media will look for any excuse to vote for a Tech or UVA guy and in a down year for those two programs will just pick the most recognizable name (In this case, last year's winner: Vad.).
I know some Tech folks were campaigning for their wr, who is a very good player but has less than 1000 yards receiving on the season.
