    As much as I hat to say this.....I think AJ MaCarron is probably the most NFL ready QB in the SEC....you can not compare stats and say ohhh look at his stats Johnny football is better, of course his stats will be better because he runs in a gimmik offense, AJ runs a pro style offense, Johnny M is in a texas tech of old type offense that is quick reads and get the ball out and let your recievers make a move and take it to the house, where as AJ has to read the defenses know what should be there and throws the more difficult passes not just the quick slants and outs. Johnny M is a good athlete.....as for as a good QB...that remains to be seen.

    So lets compare the two now:

    Cam: 10/16 passing for 86 yards 0td's 0 int's 62.5% completion
    28 carries for 217 yds and 2 TD's
    responsible for 303 total yards 2 TD's 0 Int's 62.5% completion rate

    Johnny football 29/56 passing for 276 yds 0 Td's 3 INt's 51.8% completion rate
    17 carries for 27 yards
    responsible for 303 total yards 0 TD's 3 Int's and a 51.8% completion rate

    So wich would you choose now??

    I'll take the guy that went undefeated and won a national championship 1 bazillion times before I touched Johnny run around in circles Manzero. It's not hard to nickel and dime your way to 300 yards passing against a defense that plays 10 yards off receivers, except Tharold Simon who played press. LSU since chief has gotten here has conceded dink and dunk passing. See Geno Smith last year.

    I would take Manziel, simply because I couldn't stand $cam Newton's arrogant, jack-o-lantern smile. At least Johnny would be an upgrade from what we got!

    And then what? Mett may not be lighting it yp right now, but a lot of passes have been dropped and then he's hung some. Shit will happen with a first year QB, Mett is a tough muthaf'ker that stands tall in the pocket he will get better and he will be on everyones wish they had list.

    Lol. That's why I always call him (in my head) "Camel" Newton. I know; I'm lame...
