No....not even close. This is an ignorant and lazy take.

He’s my number 3 pick in fantasy, right behind Bijan and De’Von. Got 156 yesterday.

I’ve posted it before, but I’ll say it here again.

Of all the things that get said about Manziel, this is probably the most uninformed.

In 2012, Mike Evans was playing his second year of organized football at any level. He was the yards leader among WR’s, but not by much and Ryan Swope had more TD’s. Evans was much more of an issue in 2013.

He certainly benefitted from a great OL, but much of what he did that wowed you was outside the pocket. Not sure how a great OL is the difference maker there.

He also completed passes at something near 70%, AND he led the SEC in rushing.

Lots to make of his off the field stuff, but to say he just “got lucky” in 2012 is just absurd.

Mike Evans, not Manziel, should have been who won you guys the Heisman.

Evans bailed Manziel out of several bad decisions.

Evans is/was one of the best, but let's not pretend that any other QB back there would have had the same success.

It’s amazing how many Bama fans cannot distinguish 2012 from 2013.

Evans was un-guardable in 2013.

He was a role player in 2012. Not the primary target.

From the 2012 Cotton Bowl on, he came into his own. The 2013 Bama game at old Kyle Field was unreal.
