re: The readers of the Tennessean say Johnny the greatest SEC player ever

First the rushing total for 2012 is just a stat , not a record. It's 25th all time in the sec.

It wasn't an all-time rushing performance, but it was pretty remarkable considering he was also at or near the top in all passing categories.

Second you don't get records for 2nd and 3rd place even if you do hold the record. They are just stats.

Finally I'll give you credit for the 567 yds , against La Tech at LA tech ( the hell ) winning 59-57??? It only took Mke Evans catching 4 for 137 , one which was 75 yds to break the record.

It's simple JM doesn't belong on the Mt Rushmore of the SEC. And everyone knows it.

You've got me there, I guess. If you throw out his record setting performance of 576 yards (because let's face it, there was a long touchdown pass included in those stats) and then also his 2nd and 3rd best single game performances (for no real reason other than you said so...but, whatever), he doesn't hold the single-game yardage record.


I'm not saying he was the GOAT, but he has as much claim to being in the discussion as anyone.

I'm sort of embarrassed to have argued with your herp derp bullshite for this long, so you'll have to forgive me if I don't respond to your discrediting his heisman, POY-type awards, or whatever the hell it is you'll come up with next.
