re: Would Bama have won as much or more with Manziel at QB instead of McCarron?

So do think it's a good idea for a coach to get a freshman qb as many reps as he can? Heading into sec play? Discussing football with you is fun.
Are you saying throwing for a few extra TD's against FCS teams and/or FBS teams that rank lower than some FCS teams provides a ton of benefit?
When your scout team probably provides a better opponent, I'd say it has limited effect if any.
Alabama won 2 of the last 3 national championships with 1st year QB's and didn't need it. And made it to the playoffs with Blake Sims this past year and didn't need to do it.
Hell, FCS games are games where you get to let your guys who never play in games have fun. But not for A&M.

You're just being biased. AJ was a great QB for Bama and will probably last longer in the pros than Manziel but Manziel was a way better college QB than him. AJ had best OL in CFB, 2 1K yd rushers, Cooper, and the best defense in the nation. If AJ had to play on team that was equally talented as A&M while having to drop back and throw or run for well over half the snaps do you really think he would've put up close to the numbers Manziel did or won as many games? Hell no he wouldn't.

stats agasint FCS teams in 2012:
SCSU - 15/20, 174yds passing. 8 for 78 yds rushing. didn't play in 2nd half.
SHSU - 14/20, 267yds passing. 16 for 100yds rushing. played for exactly 1 down in the 2nd half (a TD pass).
remove these stats completely from the records, and he still breaks the single season yardage record (in three less games than cam newton played), and still wins the 2012 heisman. no one points to these games as to why he deserved the trophy.
