Manziel wins Heisman
Surely this is a Q right? I was surprised I didn't see a thread. Te'o second, Klein 3rd. I'm sure it's a Q. Oh well, it's football news... and I don't even follow college football.

I love CK, but he's probably not an NFL QB. He just doesn't have the release and arm strength of a starting NFL QB. However, he's a guy you want on your roster. I could play an H-Back/special teams role for sure.

When was the last time a defensive player won a Heisman?
They should just call it what it is: an offensive award

A pure defensive player has never won the award.

Then it's stupid to get mad over is. That means hundreds of great defensive players have been robbed, not just Teo.

Last year, Texas A&M was 6-6 with a first-round pick at QB. Everyone expected the Aggies to be in the 6-7 win range again this season, but because of Manziel's excellence, they won 10, knocked off No. 1 on the road, and cemented themselves as major players for the next 3 years, at least, on the national scene. I was all for Colin Klein until he choked against Baylor, in what is now the biggest game in the history of his program. Yes, a bad game can disqualify someone from the Heisman. Yes, an injury can, too. Teo was nowhere close to the dominant presence that a guy like Suh - who SHOULD have won the Heisman, IMO - was, and he was not deserving of the award. If he didn't play for Notre Dame, he wouldn't have even been on the list. Hell, in 2007 William Moore had more tackles, sacks, interceptions, tackles for loss than Teo did this year...

Not a big shock. His arm isn't nearly NFL-calibre, and he doesn't appear to be athletic enough to play anywhere else.

It's really stupid to even try to compare a non pass rushing linebacker to a QB. There is no comparison. A linebacker can't have the impact and effect on wins/losses like a QB can. Plus, nobody keeps stats of mistakes for linebackers like missed tackles, like we do INTs for QBs. It's very difficult and even pointless to try and do a 1 to 1 comparison.

What a stupid, ****ing cherry-picked stat.
Nevermind that Florida was his first ever game because the L-Tech game got postponed. Still, in those 4 games he had 1013 yards passing and 308 yards rushing. Good for 330 yards per game. His team also averaged just over 25 points per game in those contests. Let's take a closer look at this: Bama: 2nd in scoring defense (10.69), 1st in yardage (246) A&M was +18 in scoring, and Johnny was +99 by himself in yards (345) Florida: 3rd (12.92), 5th (283) A&M was +4 in scoring, and Johnny was -50 in yards (233) LSU: 11 (16.92), 8 (296) A&M was +2 in scoring, and Johnny was +6 in yards (302) MissSt: 28 (22.42), 58 (389.92) A&M was +15 in scoring, and Johnny was +50 in yards (450) That's 3 top 10 defenses and a top 50 You could also argue that Ole Miss, Missouri, and Louisiana Tech equals Baylor, Miami, and West Virginia, but whatever. Big XII schedule is designed to have 7-8 winning teams every year. Let's look at Collin's 8-game competition: Defensive rankings (yardage, scoring) OU- 44, 43 Texas-75, 72 OkState- 82, 72 TCU- 18, 35 WVU- 108, 114 Tech- 39, 91 Baylor- 119, 115 Miami- 117, 82 That's 0 top-20 defenses, 2 top-50, and 3 hovering around the bottom of the 120 schools. Now, you might say, well the Big 12 plays a different style than the SEC and we have great QBs blah blah blah. Go ahead and argue for Doege, Lawrence, the revolving door at OSU, or Ash (lol), but I decided to list the Rush defensive rankings as well. TCU- 10, 3.28 OSU- 36, 3.73 Texas- 101, 4.40 Baylor- 90, 4.74 WVU- 41, 3.54 OU- 81, 4.79 Miami- 113, 4.97 Tech- 73, 73 4.83 Not much better. Now you may say, "well the SEC pads stats with a weak OOC schedule." I agree. It's pathetic. But the reality is that the Big XII isn't much better. From those 8 teams, only these teams were opponents that were worth a shit. Notre Dame (Miami) Notre Dame (OU) Arizona (OSU) Ole Miss (Texas) From A&M's 4 opponents you had: Florida State (Florida) Michigan (Alabama) Washington (LSU) K-State- Miami, Missouri St, North Texas Texas A&M- Louisiana Tech, SMU, Sam Houston, SCstate In Klein's 8 games, he averaged only 288 yards per game, which was about 40yards short of the Big XII's best defensive team- TCU (330 yards per game), and 5 yards short of what Johnny averaged against three top-10 defenses. Klein also only averaged 3.9 YPC during these games. Now let's look at Rushing Touchdowns: Blake Bell errr... I mean Collin Klein had 22 10 were from the 1 yard line 1- 2-4 yards 6- 5-9 yards 2- 10-19 yards 3- 20+ (22, 28, 34) Johnny Manziel had 19 touchdowns: 2- 1 yard touchdowns 3- 2-4 yards 3- 5-9 yards 4- 10-19 yards 7- 20+ (20, 20, 29, 37, 39, 48, 72) Johnny, by far, had the more impressive this year. A&M probably would have had 1 or 2 losses in the Big XII, but he may have went for 5000+. As for Manti... I was never too impressed. Even his biggest INT wasn't an INT. Denard Robinson made his year. Denard Robinson has an awful throwing arm. |
