re: Greg McElroy just said Baker Mayfield is Drew Brees

Seriously? Per your links, Manziel's Freshman numbers vs SEC defenses were comparable to Baker's JR year vs Big12 defenses.

As a 5th year SR, Mayfield put up 200 more yards and 4 more TDs than a Sophomore Manziel.

Those numbers don't suggest that Baker is clearly a superior QB, imo. He's a helluva competitor. I don't want to sound like a Baker basher.

The key stats you should be looking at are YPA, TD/Int ratio and QB rating. If yardage was all that mattered, TT would have the best QB's every year. Johnny threw the ball 60 more times a year than Baker, of course he's going to have more yards.

We all know why the Sooner doesn't want to discuss Manziel's running ability.

OU was used to playing in BCS games. They weren't interested in playing an ex-Big 12 whipping boy. ATM had all the motivation.

I know that's a valid excuse because I've read it on this board quite a few times.
