JFF and Winston are the frontrunners, but AJ would be a worthy recipient as well. The award is for the most "outstanding" player, not the one with the best stats. AJ may go down as one of the winningest and most decorated players in CFB. And he plays in a balanced offense that actually runs the ball. If he got to throw the ball 35 times a game like some of these other guys his stats would be alot higher as well. Not to mention the fact that he is usually on the bench the last quarter, quarter and a half in most Bama games because of blowout wins. He could easily have an additional 500-800 yards passing and half dozen or more TD's if Bama wanted to pad his stats. Fact.
Luckily there is a stat to compensate for the fact that not every QB gets to sling the ball 50 times a game. It's called Yards per attempt:
AJ is at 8.912 YPA and Manziel is at 10.52

Oooh. Wow. 1 1/2 yards better. What a difference, huh? And that stat alone doesn't tell the full story because how many of those throws are simple quick reads the receivers turn into big plays?
