Bruce Feldman: Johnny Manziel is the best college player I've ever seen.

Beginning at the 1:55 mark of this podcast Bruce explains that Cam used to be the best player he had ever seen. That opinion has now changed. Bruce goes on to explain his firm conviction that JFF is the GOAT.
Bruce is probably the most revered college football writer in the country. Show me another more highly regarded. His opinion is worth infinitely more than any consensus this community reaches on the subject.
With that being said I'm announcing that the debate over the SEC's best QB in history has been suspended. The fallacious arguments about championships (JFF's lack of which are in no way his fault) not only miss the mark but are intellectually dishonest. It's difficult to articulate how far short they come to carrying the day.
The discussion may re-open if a writer of Bruce's class hereafter contradicts his very direct statement. That statement again being that JFF is the GOAT. Unless and until that happens, Bruce's opinion will serve as binding precedent on this issue.
Thank you.

I would be so pissed if even while having the GOAT at QB, my team played Duke in the Chicken Bowl.

Cam Newton took a team with no defense and a previous 8-5 record to the National Championship and won. He was better than Johnny Manziel, and that will remain so in the NFL.

He's definitely one of the best.

So A&M must be really bad if with the best player ever they finish 4th? I don't understand how he's the best player ever but y'all are going to be better next year without him and one of the best WR's in the nation too.

Cam was better not by much, Johnny didn't have the power like cam did and didn't win a title.

As much as I hate $cam Newton.
$cam>JFF
$cam>JFF

So what does this make Chavis? Best DC he has ever seen?

Well certainly Feldman is the final word expert.

The greatest player of all time was never even good enough to lead his team to a BCS bowl or at least a tie for their division championship? That's interesting

All I know is if I was a Head Coach and I had to pick Cam or Manziel to be my QB, I'm picking Cam with no hesitation.

Feldman must have somehow missed seeing Cam Newton play

GOAT never beat LSU

John Chavis must be the greatest DC of all time.
Les fricking Miles. GOAT!

"Best ever" is impossible to say and used too much. We've seen 3 "best ever" in the SEC alone since 2007. That's not even including Vince Young who was a beast in his own right. Maizel was amazing against Duke, VY did it against the "best ever" team in the biggest game.
Having said that JFF has been great CF player. Just amazing. Just not better than Tebow, Cam or Young, but is of that caliber.

I saw both in person, and Cam was the best IMHO. As an LSU fan , I am probably a little biased since we shut down JFF twice and got torched by Cam. He was unstoppable that game.

No. In the BCS era, it's either Reggie Bush or Cam Newton.
Posted on 1/4/14 at 4:46 pm to DWag215
First it's Tebow, then it's Cam and now it's Manziel. Who will be his GOAT next year?
