Would he go down as the greatest college football player to ever play? Obviously his statistics would shatter everyone else's before him but would he get a natty in this time or would it not even matter?

It's safe to say he would probably own every major CFB record for QBs when he left.

Well he hasn't requested draft forms and his family has all but denied him going into the draft so I guess we'll see.

Nope. Wed go 6-6 next year. And 4-8 in 2014. Just keeping up with the pattern

Of course.
But he's not coming back.
So it's just something at which to smile.

if he returned next year or the next two years and got a title, I think he would go down as the best player in the last 25 years at least.

Modern Peyton Manning. Tons of stats. Plenty of wins. Maybe an SEC championship. No natties. And 0-4 against his biggest rival.

He's already the GOAT whether it is a unanimous opinion or not. If I did a giant fantasy draft of every college football player to ever play, he'd be my number one pick. Therefor GOAT.

He would have 4 losses to Les and LSU instead of 2 for sure.

Does he still have top ten draft picks protecting him at tackle for the next two years?

Since he isn't putting 700 yards on us, I think that would be great for him to stay.

I question whether he survives to the NFL. The guy has had quite a few injuries. I don't think he's injury prone, but he takes a lot of hits, and Manziel is not a big guy who can absorb a lot of punishment. Admittedly, I don't know much about the A&M Oline, but I haven't seen or heard anything to convince me they will be any better. Couple that with the fact that he is most dangerous when moving around and extending plays (which opens him up to more and bigger hits), and you get a recipe for disaster. He needs to get to the NFL pronto.

But yes, I do think he is possibly the most statistically (from a yardage standpoint) impressive player, at least in recent history. However, I do think he should carry more of the "system QB" stigma that guys from programs like Houston have garnered where they rack up tons of yards because they throw so often. That's not a shot at his abilities because he is a really good (probably great) QB, but the numbers are at least a little inflated.
