I'm lashing out? Dang man, you're the one that called me a 'damn genius'. Me and others, heck even Florida fans have exchanged without any anger or hostility. I think some on here think that every post to anyone of a different fanbase has to be condescending and degrading. Why is that? Maybe it's just me, but again, I consider myself a pretty overall nice guy and don't talk down to someone like that. But that's just me. I guess it's not you.

Cam
Bo
Rudi Johnson (going against the grain here, but dude carried an otherwise crappy Auburn team to the SECC)

They might not win every game but... There would be a lot of players on opposing teams waking up on Sun with aches in places that didn't know that had

But it's hard to leave Najee and Ingram off the list

Stephen Garcia and Tanneyhill as QBs

Cory “back like cooked crack” Boyd and George “writes checks for cocaine” Rogers at running back


We’d go 8-4 but boy we’d party like national champions

I think he had like 249 yards that game. Ridiculous day for him.

I was wondering if any Gamecock fan was going to say Tanneyhill. He was an interesting character.

They're good ones, but you'll have to make a pretty good argument to convince me (or anybody) that Cam is an all-time great in the entire SEC I'm afraid. I mean, let's face it, he threw for, what...100 yds and about 4 or 5 TDs total in 2 seasons at Florida? Then he threw for about 600 yds at that bastion of football greatness; Blinn Community college, before one year of stardom at Auburn. Doesn't that kinda present the poster child for a 'one-hit wonder'?


Cam had one of the best seasons in CFB history in 2010. He’s definitely an all-time great

I'm going to be as objective as possible here and say that LSU's 2019 was a great team. Burrows put up alot of points and I'd say they was the best pure passing team of any NC team.

But on D?...not hardly. UGA's 2021 D was out of this world. I've never seen a D like that before, and I say that objectively.

The 1996 Nebraska team that broke one off in Florida in the Fiesta bowl had the best option/running game ever.

That all being said, it's hard to label any team as the best overall complete team ever. You put LSU's passing game with UGA's D and Nebraska's running game and you'd have a team that could probably beat half the NFL teams.

I should reword what I said. I'm not saying Cam is NOT an all-time great, but the best of any QB ever? That is what I was questioning. He's definitely Auburn's best QB ever. For his one season of greatness, he was as good as anyone. But the best QB of all time?...eh, I don't think so.

This is just embarrassing coming from a so-called Gator Fan.

I noticed the same thing and I don't even follow Florida that closely.

I was curious if any Gator fan was going to mention Wuerffel as the greatest QB over Tebow. Ol Wuerffel was about like Bennett, not the most physically intimidating like TT, but that kid was a goodun.

You do realize E. Smith went to Florida right?
