First, the disclaimer: If Johnny Manziel does not make it big in the NFL that will be the biggest surprise I will ever have experienced as a long time sports fan. I am not that interested in the measurables (and Johnny’s are very good) when we are discussing NFL quarterbacks. How does that QB play against elite teams – that is my first question. Manziel’s performance against that great Alabama defense, loaded with future NFL players, in a memorable 2012 game – that was all I needed. Best performance by a college QB I have ever seen.

If they should make the playoffs it would probably be in large part to a much improved defense. That signing of Karlos Dansby was huge. He's a known NFL commodity vs. Manziel and all of the other draftees. We shall see.
That one and Denny Greene's "they are who we thought they were!!" lead my mount rushmore of Coaches rants...
He did well against them twice,winning one and losing one. on top of that he was successful those two games cause they had a great game plan to counter the bama defense plain and simple.
BTW - that "great" Alabama defense is a college defense. It's not an NFL defense...even a poor NFL defense it is not.
