Oh shut up.

Manziel was a better college player than Archie and it's not even remotely debatable.

Archie threw 40 interceptions

JFF threw 3 times as many interceptions as TDs against LSU.

Some of these guys are on here as much for their NFL careers as their college ones.

Keith Jackson was an outstanding TE, but only a 2x All American, with no awards.

Tommy Casanova was a 3x All American, and selected to Walter Camp's All-Century team.

Glenn Dorsey was a 2x All American, and winner of Lombardi, Outland, Lott, and Nagurski awards.

Both of those guys should be there ahead of Jackson.

No Mike Rozier?

I think I'd throw in Patrick Willis as well.

Excellent rebuttal. Many facts and stats to support your views.

I would have included Eric Berry, but otherwise list looks ok.

The only one on that list I disagree with is Danny Wuerffel.

I'm about to trigger Gator fans, but I would put Charlie Ward before Danny Wuerffel.

John Hannah was a beast.

I could give two shits about A&M and the guy is a douche bag, but Manziel is a top 50 player of all time.

You could argue top 10 IMO.
