He won 9 games in 2013 with what I'm pretty sure was the worst statistical defense in SEC history. That was a 5 win team without him. He had arguably the greatest individual offensive performance in college history, given the quality of the defense he was facing. 550 total yards and 6 TDs against Bama. He had more yards himself than any other TEAM has gained on Bama since Saban's arrival.

If he had a competent defense the story would be very different. Guys like Young and Cam had good and average defenses, respectively.

Manziel is an all timer because of one game? Wuerffel still leads the SEC in TD passes and maybe the NCAA too - he's near the top at the very least. Wuerffel is still probably the smartest college QB I have ever seen. He maybe made a couple of bad reads a game. He put the ball where your defense was the weakest repeatedly. It was infuriating.

Granted, I may be biased against Manziel because I'm an LSU fan and therefore watched one of the "all time greats" play like seven ounces of stir fried shite for 2 entire games
