Wind didn't seem to bother Manziels passes.

Manziels problem is decision making. Makes me think of a smaller matt jones though

He wasn't exactly slinging the ball 40 yards down field either. Manziel's longest pass of the day was 27 yards, Mett's was 29. And his average yards per completion was about 9.5, Mett's just under 9.

Now, I'm not saying that Mett didn't have a bad day, but he definitely attempted more down field passes than Manziel so it stands to reason that he would have been more affected by the wind.

Also, one QB threw 1 TD with no interceptions, the other 0 TDs with 3 interceptions. I'll take the QB that didn't lose the game for his team.

Manziel is only 19 years old freshman! I would give anything to have him as our QB! Our problem is Mett! He is slow, not consistant, and cant run! In years past, we typically had a QB that could throw desent and could run well. Defences we played would have to respect the QB running. Not this year or in years to come with Mett.
