Yeah, that whole scandal/investigation put no pressure on Cam

I remember the Brent Shaeffer comparisons.
I also remember some Heisman predictions. (for Cam) The only thing I don't remember is any Auburn fans predicting 14-0 BCS National Champs.

Do I need to bump my thread hyping him up for the Heisman after week 4?
I don't think some of these guys were here for the Cam hype.

People thought Cam was a fluke. A TE who had a strong arm.

Or something along those lines. That's why I thought it was over the course of the whole season with consistent performances brought him attention...not pre season hype.

I make it a point to never post on the LSU rant because so many of those guys view everything through the thickest purple and gold lenses. I think the consensus amongst level-headed LSU fans is that Mett will be good enough to diversify the offense a little more.
With that said, keep in mind that most of the Tiger fans, like myself, post on the SEC rant to avoid LSU circle jerks and rantards. I know I personally enjoy hearing other opinions.

Not once did I think this. And he proved you, and them, all wrong. In fact, he's still proving you wrong.

BTW, I'll go with Mettenberger getting the most hype. Although, I do think it is warranted. He's going to be good.

TigerRant is where I found out I was a blondie and an idiot for thinking CLM has done pretty well. I've just about given up on that site.

Yea he did prove me wrong. He's a QB after all. Still playing it last I checked.

Charles from Reeltown and Tammy finally got one right.

If he can get to his third read when he has to on most passing plays I'll be happy. I wouldn't put him any higher than 4th in the sec until I see him play against real competition. He does have a lot of talent though.
On top of that LSU returns all of their running backs and a very talented oline, so Mett will have it pretty easy as far as first years in the conference go.

I agree. Going in I'd have have Wilson, Shaw, AJ, Murray and Bray. I've haven't seen Franklin to make a judgement and Rogers, well, he plays for Vandy...he has a higher mountain to climb.

I would say Wilson is the clear number one. Bray is 2a, AJ is 2b, Mett, Murray and Shaw are in a fight for 4. I like what I saw from Rogers as well. If everyone lives up to their talent level Mett is between 4 and 6, but LSU was great with JJ/JL at 10th or worse in the conference, and 2 QBs = no QBs, so LSU fans are optimistic.

Mett. A lot of people didn't even hear of Newton until after a few games.
Come on now. When Cam Newton Came to Auburn, his Blinn Jr. College highlights where already up. I thought wow this guy is fricking awesome. 6-5 250LBS. He's huge. Cam Newton eventually over shadowed Terrel Prior. Cam Newton was a fricking beast before he got to Auburn. Besides Cam got more headlines with Camgate than any other story.

The tread is a out PRE-season hype. Yes folks were excited about Cam, but there has been more PRE-season hype about Frazier from auburn fans. bama fans can not wait to scream "down goes Frazier" but that is part of the rivalry.
