I was never big on Young...I remember watching the Rose Bowl against USC and Young seemed a non-factor most of the game.


Really? He didn't even have 150 yards passing until the 4th quarter. He couldn't throw at all until the end. Maybe you just remember his running (which was great) or maybe you simply like acting like a jerk. Glad to see you that's the route you take instead of showing real stats. I think its the 3rd down conversion stats that are astonishingly low for a winning team. Texas couldn't sustain many drives at all.


You're bad at football analysis and posting

Tommie Frazier, Johnny Manziel, Barry Sanders, Doug Flutie, Michael Vick. These are the guys I remember making me stop what I was doing and watch TV. Vince Young, Cam Newton, Reggie Bush Tim Tebow - a cut below in my book, but all-time greats regardless.

You're bad at pretending to be an Aggie. And kind of pathetic spending so much of your life doing so.

VY was one of the most dominant college football players I have ever seen in his junior year. My first instinct is that he should have been higher but when you think about how many people have played college football over the years maybe that is a good place.

I would have Tebow higher because he dominated for such a long period of time and won two MNCs.

Vince was mediocre for 1.5 years, and great for 1.5 years. Hid career turned after being shutout by OU his soph year, and took off at the Rose Bowl at the end of that season.

That's why lists like this are so difficult. Put Johnny on that Texas team or on those Florida teams and he'd have multiple MNCs too. It'll never be an apples to apples comparison because so many of the TEAMS were dominant, but Johnny's A&M teams weren't (in terms of titles, that is).

Edit: and has been noted already, as dominant as VY was as a junior, countless Texas fans thought he was terrible halfway through his sophomore year.

Most of those clowns at ESPN have an IQ equal to their shoe size. They know as much about football as a toddler. All lists are relative. Which most of those clowns there haven't even seen some of the players mentioned play. And I know they haven't watched some of the ones they left off.

Who do you think is #1?

Hershel Walker, Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, old school Red Grange, Doak Walker?

Others i didnt see listed. Tommie Frazier, peyton, Johnny Rodgers, Earl Campbell.

I'd put money on Herschel, Tony Dorsett or Archie Griffin.

Haven't revealed the top 25 yet, but the list is already a colossal train wreck. VY at 81? Tebow at 76??

But the real crime is, you guessed it, no Johnny Manziel to be found anywhere on the list. Regardless of what you think about Johnny, there's no way on earth he isn't one of the 150 greatest college football players of all time.


Put down the crack pipe. Do you have any concept of just how many college football players there have been? Assume 100 teams for 100 years with 70 players per team. That's somewhere around 700,000 players.


Manzel is more correctly ranked somewhere between 5000 and 50000 in "best college players of all time".
Hell, there is probably 150 DEFENSIVE players ahead of him.


I think you may have been stung by too many of those bees your keeping..... Now that you've retired and don't have to focus on the zeros and 1s, you might want to spend some time on your grammer..... just sayin'

JFF would have 2 nattys with half of tebows defense stats. He won 2 NY6 bowls with a top 60 defense and a top 120 defense.

JFF made Bears top players among much of the country outside of the sec footprint. Most have agendas. The espn 150 is no different. We've never seen anything like Tebow JFF. Mayfield and Murray had a chance to prove otherwise and they flopped against superior teams and inferior teams

All Heisman winners should be on this list.

Von Miller's 33 career sacks should place him somewhere high on the list.

I hate the sips as much as the next guy, but I honestly am surprised Ricky Williams didn't make the top 25, same with Radio.

As a former Oiler fan, I gotta say Earl Campbell was one of my all time favorite players.

He'll be in the top 25. Several ESPN talking heads have openly said he's the best college player they've ever seen. I specifically recall the ginger former Alabama qb saying that.


He's really going to be at least 50 spots higher than Tebow and Vince Younf? Keep dreaming
Umm.. why wouldn't he be ranked higher than them? He broke records set by both of those guys. The only thing they had on Johnny was a defense worthy of a championship. And seriously, you think they'd throw John David Crow on the list but not Johnny? lol Can't believe how many of y'all are going to be surprised when he cracks the top 10 let alone the top 25.

Imagine a Clemson or LSU fan getting upset they didn't make the committee's top 25 before they announced the playoff teams. This is a lot like that.

Manziel took a middle of the pack Big 12 team to the upper tier of the SEC all because of his play. That's top 25 all-time.

Imagine how you'd feel about our team in 2020 with Johnny Football (2012 -2013 version) at the helm.

Last time I was in Nashville I got into an alcohol-induced discussion at the urinal with a guy in a UF Tebow Jersey wherein I stated that Manziel was the best to ever play college ball, and my clear-minded self stands by that. JFF should've won 2 Heismans but 2013 was the "Anybody-but-Johnny" year.
