Any way you slice it, most of the Louisville games were blowouts while most A&M games were shootouts... that is obviously going to favor Manziel statistically cause the offense will be pushing the pace while Louisville would be content with field goals and conservative passing.

 

And if you want to argue this point, then it makes what Teddy did even more impressive.  But you'd be wrong.  Louisville played in shootout games just as much as TAMU.  Seriously, if you want to see just how efficient Teddy is, look no further than his Miami game.  He put the whole team on his back, didn't hold back when Adams was off the field hurt, and pummeled Miami for all they were worth.  Which, BTW, they beat them much more soundly than FSU did, if you care about that sort of comparison.

 

Teddy did what he did in a more pro style offense.  Which means Louisville has a running game, they run play action, and he runs plays from under center as well as in the shotgun.  His completion percentage for middle - intermediate throws is higher than anybody else and his redzone production is higher than any other QB.  He's not making huge plays with his legs, but he can if all else fails.  He reads defenses, instead of Manziel who only reads half of the field.  He doesn't throw YOLO balls, etc.

 

Don't get me wrong, if Teddy is gone and they take Manziel I'm fine with it.  But if you're comparing the players they are now, there is no question as to who the better QB is.
