re: Cam Newton vs Johnny Football

The fact of the matter is both Auburn and A&M played in the SEC (which was tougher the year Auburn's season was played), and one team went undefeated and won the BCSNC, while the other was in 3rd place and won the Cotton Bowl

We're comparing Manziel and Cam here. Let me lay it out like this:

In 2010, Auburn's Wes Bynum connected on 72 of 73 XPs and 17 of 21 FGs (77%). He was perfect from under 40. In 2010, A&M's Taylor Bertolet made 67 of 74 XPs and 13 of 22 FGs (59%). He missed six FGs under 40 yards.

Had A&M's kicker made every FG under 40 yards and only missed 1 XP all year, we would have been 12-0 and playing in the SECCG game. Manziel would have had better stats across the board, and any rational person would be calling him better right now.

Essentially, your argument about who the better QB is is based on nothing more than the merits of two kickers. See how this game of yours works? It's a useless exercise in stat extrapolation, and frankly I'm better at it than you.
