Quote:Listen. I don't think you've seen him play.

Obviously I haven't seen every game of his. Seen about 5 of them full. But I think very few outside of UCF fans have seen every UCF game this year.

It's just difficult though, and forgive me for being a broken record, but it's difficult with these small-school guys to get a good hold of them.

 

I remember for example watching Bortles last game against SMU very closely, being very interested to see how he'd perform. Simply because I knew that was the only team that both he and my favorite draft-prospect 'Manziel' both played this year.

Here's the quick QB stats against SMU:

---------------------------------------------

Bortles was 24/35 for 242-yards

Manziel was 14/21 for 244-yards

---------------------------------------------

Bortles had 10-carries for 31-yards
Manziel had 12-carries for 102-yards

---------------------------------------------


Bortles ended with a QBR of '73.5'
Manziel ended with a QBR of '92.1'

---------------------------------------------


Oh, and keep in mind that Johnny did all this while sitting on the bench after only one set of plays in the 3rd quarter.
 
And so I scratch my head and say...If Manziel were in Bortle's conference, playing against cupcakes week in and week out, would he have 500, maybe 600-yards every game? Would he have a 92 or perhaps a 95 QBR all year? 
 
I admit, I just dunno man.
