False. He was surrounded with a veteran OL which helped him tremendously. Auburn had talent, just not a transformational one like him.

Cam Newton would’ve won a national title at Mississippi State if he went there. Auburn literally bought MSU’s only hope to win a championship away from them. Rough!

False. Gus knew how to perfectly use him. And that defense was not great as a whole but it was great at making opportune stops at crucial moments, especially with Nick Fairley. See the 4th quarter stops in the iron bowl / Greg McElroy concussion sack. No doubt it was a very lucky team with a ton of close wins, but I wouldn’t say anyone could have plugged and played Cam into a title.

I don't remember Cam but the videos I saw of him at Auburn were unbelievable. A once-in-a-generation talent.

False. He would not have won a national championship with Vandy.

I do not see a loss on LSU's 2010 schedule if Cam is the starter.

False. He was in an offense that allowed him to be great. If he was at LSU with Les, he wouldn't have been as good.

Cam, Vince, and Tebow could have won a title with any major program.

2010 State team was loaded with talent especially on the defensive side. Put Cam at QB and that 9-4 team (that demolished Michigan 52-14 in the Gator Bowl) wins 11-12 games and very possibly a Natty.

People like to criticize Coach Croom but the 2010 team was his recruits. Had everything but an elite QB. Relf was an athlete playing QB. Cam, in baseball terms, was a five tool player.

So yes, I think State could have very well won it with him at the helm.

False. AU had some playmakers on D (Fairley, Bynes) and underrated or overshadowed pieces on O (Dyer, Darvin Adams, McCalebb, Lutzie), and most importantly an experienced O line. The D gave gave up lots of yards but made huge plays when needed most.

There’s not a person on here that dislikes that arrogant, cheating sob more than me. But I will give the devil his due. If I’m not mistaken, only 7 other players were drafted off that team, and the only other 2 offensive players were linemen. That team was a complete 2 man show; Newton on offense and Fairley on defense. And yes, we all know the sleaziness that went on with Cam. Auburn didn’t spend millions of dollars keeping him eligible because he was squeaky clean. Dirty as all get out, but a great player.

I doubt he would have won anything at Vanderbilt. Maybe 7-5 record.

Auburn wins 7 games that season without newton. Still the greatest all around college Qb I ever saw.

That team was lucky but Cam took advantage of every lucky opportunity. One of the greatest seasons I have ever seen from any player.
