re: True or False: Cam Newton would have won a championship with anyone in 2010

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.

Basically only MSU could’ve plugged him in and went their merry way because of Mullen. Also MSU had a better defense than Auburn. Frankly nearly equivalent offensive talent.
