It may be Cam. Some people may be influenced by his NFL success, which isn't relevant to the question. But I know I am influenced by Cam being from auburn and our recent struggle with Watson.

Cam would have beaten Alabama on Monday (from AU days). He was just that dominant and confident in his ability to take advantage of inferior athletes on the other side.

I like Watson a lot, but Cam just has physical tools he doesn't have. The only thing I can compare it to was the confidence the Falcons briefly had during the height of the Vick days, when we knew that Vick could take off on 4 QB runs and get to the redzone. Ignore that he might do something idiotic and has no business in a discussion of leaders, but my point is that AU fans knew Cam would rise to whatever level was necessary to get a game in hand.

He's largely done that this season in the NFL, will be interested to see if it'll work against elite competition in the playoffs.

Regardless, I enjoy watching Watson play.
