Its the age of college football that will surely be remembred if nothing else for the QBs that came in and became stars, but all had issues. Cam, Jonny, Jameis, to name a few.

It will be a time marked by change in everything that is college football. From conference realignment, to hesiman races, coaching changes, football playoff, and potentially players being paid.

My roomate and I began to have an arguement, over who would have a better 30/30 in terms of content, and just how compelling their story really is. He said Johnny Football without a doubt. His biggest arguements were first freshman heisman, SEC (bigger stage every week), and the entire Johnny Football mystique, his lifestyle and overall demeanor.

I said Jameis because while Johnny was the first Jameis has had controversy every step of the way. Both had autograph signings brought to light, but Winston's was a larger deal. Just looking at his story everything about his football career has been marked by controversy, while still being unquestionably the best player in college football, and leading his team to perhaps two straight undefeated seasons.

While neither story has been completed, as both NFL careers will play a part in how they are remembered, I ask who would you rather see a tell all on?

People will largely forget about both in five years.

JM- signed autographs, partied.
JW- signed autographs, stole, raped, likely illiterate.

Not sure there's much comparison between the 2.

I agree, unless either one is playing in the NFL. There will be new superstars, no doubt, but they set precedent. And will forever be legends in college football.

What if I told you that one player struck fear into the hearts of white women as well as his opponents

They will be interviewing Jameis from prison, so I'll go with that one.

I think Manziel's would be mroe enjoyable, especially as it coincides with A&M joining the SEC. It would just be fun.

Winston's story is just depressing as hell, and makes me hate sports.

Winston does more, plays baseball, actually won the National Championship to go along with his heisman, has the rape thing, steals crab legs, says incredibly weird things, appears to be on speed at times.. all sorts of stuff going on..

was going to say the same -- play off the parallels and how each responded in this age of social media and winning the heisman as redshirt freshmen

JM is also supposedly into coke which can lead to some pretty crazy issues later on. Michael Irvin had many issues before he is supposedly clean. I'm not saying JM is going to get in trouble eventually but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in rehab.

that's something to be celebrated, not chastised for.
