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.

Or LSU has a badass fast defense built to stop QBs and he still put up the best combined passing+rushing by a QB on them all season?

You do know that Johnny leads the SEC and nation in Total Offense and is also the SEC leading rusher, right? He is in fact the TD leader in the conference with 198 total points responsible for, #2 is Bray with 174.

The picture of, barring a broken leg, being only the 3rd QB in history to have 3000 passing/1000 rushing in a single season.. only 1 other BCS conference player did that, Vince Young. He's only the 2nd Freshman to do 2000/1000, 1st being Brad Smith from Mizzou. I wish he could do place kicking, that certainly would have helped in a couple of games.
