Manziel was not an option quarterback. We ran the option maybe 2-3 times per game. He was a scrambler.
Umm, that was the option (unofficially). Give Saban a QB who can also run it and he struggles. Go back and look at all of his loses at Bama. Most came from offenses that used the QB run (or in our case scramble)

I agree, it wasn't a designed option, but the result was the same. Effectively we had an option offense even if to use proper nomenclature, they were scrambles.

It's really not the option because we werent designing plays to give the qb reads and or tailback options. It was just a spread and run. That isn't the Vince young option

Johnny bailing after his first or second WR was covered wasn't an option offense. It was him relying on his legs instead of going through his progressions. While he often made big plays he also missed a ton of big gains he could have had by throwing it. Hell, I can clearly remember a play against Miss State that he scored a running TD on that would have been a simple pitch and catch TD to a slot WR had he simply gone through his progressions.
