Take away all those turn overs, and LSU points, and LSU sacks y'all totally won that game...



Yeah, if you also take away the coach and jerseys that only gives A&M 1 loss and likely a BCS OVER Alabama for obvious reasons.


If LSU doesn't have a team, A&M likely wins this year too fwiw.

Nice try, Plato. How about you quote my entire post rather than just part of it and respond appropriately, crusher of all arguments.

quote:

So what happened statistically in those games yall lost? Did stats help you then? Or do you want to flip flop between stats and intangibles as you see fit?


quote:

Florida was Manziel's first ever college game and Sumlin's first ever game at A&M. Manziel, like anyone making their first start, looked uncomfortable passing and we lost by three.

Against LSU, we had four unforced turnovers, lost the TO battle 5-0 and lost by 5.

Neither game produced great stats because of the above factors. And yet with all those factors we lose those games by a combined 8 points.

I really don't see what is complex about it.


How many combined points did Auburn lose by in their losses? It seems you'd rather crutch yourself and judge everything by statistics, but when that falls short, blame intangibles and abstract concepts. You keep "playing chess" to 3rd place finishes and Cotton Bowl victories while everyone else plays checkers to national championships.

Half of your arguments are are subjective. So if ULM's defense is ranked ahead of A&M does that mean they are better than you against the run or is it the teams they play in their sorry conference have shitty rushing offenses.

You're responsible for putting an NFL team together. You can choose either JFF or Cam, which one is it?


I don't believe either is a championship caliber NFL QB, Cam due to accuracy/pure dropback ability and Manziel due to size and potentially personal issues. I'd pick Aaron Murray over either for the NFL.

Sadly you don't see the irony of Cam holding the crystal ball that represents the highest team achievement while JFF isn't anywhere near a team hang because he's too busy doing his own stupid arse JFF shite that he's been doing.

By the way you are right about one not being a championship QB.

You asked what happened in our losses, I answered. If you didn't like the answer, ask a better question.

I've crushed every single argument presented in this thread with facts and statistics and it is simply being ignored in favor of "well you weren't THERE so you don't know"? It's like arguing with six year olds.

Impossible to know unless they played, but I'm also not the one who brought up rush defense with regards to that game. I simply said I've seen QBs/RBs do what he did multiple times every year I've been a fan.

Alright Mr. Stat based, let's put up or shut up

Passing State

Vs. AP Ranked Teams
YPG COMP PCT Y/A TD INT QB Rating
JFF- 247.3 YPG 64.9 Comp% 6.5 YPA 4 TD 4 INT 146.67 QB Rating
Cam- 190.9 YPG 63.8 Comp% 8.8 YPA 14 TD 2 INT 190.9 QB Rating

Vs SEC Teams

JFF- 286.1 YPG 70.4 Comp% 8.1 YPA 11 TD 6 INT 146.67 QB Rating
Cam- 182 YPG 67.4 Comp % 9.2 YPA 16 TD 3 INT 171.01 QB Rating

VS FBS Winning Teams
YPG COMP PCT Y/A TD INT QB Rating
JFF- 272.5 YPG 65.4 COMP % 7.5 YPA 12 TD 7 INT 137.62 QB Rating
CAM- 190.9 YPG 63.8 COMP % 8.8 YPA 14 TD 2 INT 165.42 QB Rating



Where it really fricking matters

In Losses
YPG COMP PCT Y/A TD INT QB Rating
JFF- 224.5 YPG 60.5 Comp % 5.2 YPA 0 TD 3 INT 97.35 QB Rating
CAM NEWTON DIDN"T frickING LOSE


Comparing games that matter
Yes, Manziel may throw for more yards and a few more TDs but he throws more INTs, does not throw downfield as much as indicated by YPA, and has a QB Rating consistently 30-50 points lower than Cam Newton's. He disappears in big games, especially games he loses.

For fricks sakes we get it, manziel can't lead his team to victory under dire circumstances. Newton could. Thank you for clearing that up.

aTm has always been a sleeping giant. I guess that just makes Auburn a sleepy one.

Your stats were wrong on LSU's rush defense in 2010. Where are you getting yours?

Here's mine.

LINK

Shows LSU w/ 1785 rushing yards allowed.

Auburn rushed for 440.

LINK

1785-440=1345/12=112.08, which would fall 12th based on the link provided, not 29th. Auburn bumped them from 12th to 42 in one game.
