Surely he was drafted first overall since he was better than Burrow who was ultimately drafted first overall.

No one seriously thinks Burrow is a better QB than Manziel was. He just had an incredible season.

So compare stats of their common opponents.
What was Johnny Feetball's stats in his SECCG vs Burrow's?

Manziel would have been downright mediocre without Mike Evans at WR.
Manziel's WRs bailed him out of SO MANY bad decisions. True, Burrow also had a great set of WRs, but Burrow put them in a place more often than not to do more with the throw while Manziel's had to fix their QB's mistakes.
I cannot remember Burrow ever needing to throw a jump ball in heavy traffic out of desperation. That was Manziel's bread and butter play.

I would say Burrow still did a better job in his win because Manziel isn't what won A&M the 2012 game, the defense was (+3 turnover margin, intercepted McCarron in the endzone on the final drive, held Lacy under 100 yards rushing)

It scares me to think A&M fans actually believe this.
Manziel played great vs Bama, and a lot of unlikely plays rolled A&M's way, and it was just enough to allow a lesser team to beat a greater team.
Burrow played great vs Bama, practically no ridiculous plays rolled LSU's way, and it took premature celebration by the defense to create a final score one can pretend in ignorance was the result of a close game.
Those two games were close enough to find some stats favorable to Manziel, but looking at his entire heisman season vs Burrow's entire heisman season are not remotely close. Now you could say A&M was a much worse team than LSU's overall, and Manziel must have been doing more in his role than Burrow was required to do in order to get the success that the respective teams had, but thats an argument with a hint of truth that's simply impossible to precisely measure.
The only fact I would put forward in this debate is that Burrow did everything that was required of him to lead his team to the greatest, most dominant season in the history of the sport, and Manziel did not.

I love this thread. Texag7-50 gets to combine LSU and Bama together. He must be extremely aroused...

This is a new level of TDS, even for a racist like you.
But yeah, no one doubts Manziel was an elite CFB QB. Incidentally, he'll also be remembered as a loser and for being one of the biggest wastes of talent...maybe ever.
