Please provide some concrete reasons why Manziel should be considered for the Heisman. He was ineffective in at least two games this season and is not a statistical leader in key QB statistics.

1) one of those losses was in his second ever game on the college gridiron, and he almost pulled off the win against a one-loss florida team, whom lost only to a one-loss georgia team. his other was against the sec's best defense in lsu, and that was mid-season. Johnnie Football has continually improved his game all season long.

2) leads the SEC in total offense.

concrete reasons.

Max - the Florida game was his first ever collegiate game.

Remember, the La Tech game was postponed due to Hurricane Isaac, so the Florida game was the first.

1) To be fair, the loss to Florida was the first game of the 2012 season for Manziel and Texas A&M this season, not the second. But, his worst game was the seventh game against LSU. Either he regressed or he's erratic - not consistent.

2) Texas A&M is the leader in team offense. Manziel is not the leading passer or the TD leader in the conference. The Heisman is an individual award, not a team award. The numbers tell me that Texas A&M is the most effective on offense as a team, but Manziel is not.

I wouldn't mind supporting the guy but I can't buy into the groupthink that puts so much weight on a single game but ignores the whole picture.
