I remember being really impressed with Miss States defense in '10, and thinking that if Newton had ended up signing with State, they would have been serious contenders for the national title
Fast forward to this year, and State is a contender.
Question: You know more about the two teams than I do..would you say '10 with Newton would have been (hypothetically) better than this years squad?

Too early to say. Probably now because the sec is weaker now than in 2010.

Defense is even-ish but there are better offensive weapons on the edge now. That's a tough one.
We had 1st round talent on the D line then but we're deeper in every position now.
There isn't enough difference to close the gap and factor out Cam so that's tough to say, but since LSU/AL is rebuilding I like this year..

Too many variables. Would Cam have developed as well at MSU as he did at AU? I'm not sure. Cam also fit well in AU's (Gus's really) offensive system in 2010 very well. I'm not sure how well he would've fit in MSU's simply because I'm not well informed on how their overall team was at the time.

I'm asking which one is better 
Not which one would have an easier road to the title

Cam would have developed in LSU's system

Well how would you define better? Stats? Record? Both would be affected by how difficult the road is.

Some State fans may disagree but this year's team is WAY more talented than their 2010 team. You put Newton on this team, nobody stays within 3 touchdowns of them.

Yep.. I remember a very close game between State and Auburn on a Thursday night in..week 3?

But would it be better than 2010 with Cam is the question..
This team went from unranked to #1 faster than anyone in NCAA history so I'll roll with it ..

Fletcher Cox
K.J. Wright
Pernell McPhee
Johnthan Banks
Jamar Chaney
Darius Slay
stud defense back then but I like the team this year how it is. Don't know why Manny Diaz sucked at Texas so bad.

Up by 20 going into the 4th. The only fluke was us allowing them back into the game.

Guess you missed the Murray TD that never crossed the plane. The tip was miraculous, but it's not like the game was even close until the last few minutes.Posted on 10/13/14 at 11:48 pm to DuncanIdaho
