Cam Newton shouldn't count as credit for Gus. He didn't develop him into an elite QB. Newton was an elite QB even before he came to AU. He was on campus for less than a year. Newton was a 5* QB in HS, All-American in JUCO, and the no.1 JUCO player (only 5* JUCO player) when he was recruited by Auburn.
I bet you use this same logic when touting alabama's # of NFL players under saban.

Those Bama players are on campus for 3-5 years, while Newton was at Auburn for barely a year since he was a one and done JUCO player. In 3-5 years, a player can be developed into being much better by the coaches. But in just ONE off-season/ spring and fall practices only so much developing can be done. Gus deserves some credit for Newton and he did use him right but most of the credit should go to Newton since he was already a great player to begin with. Same could be said for guys like Cooper and Julio for Bama.
