re: Cam Newton was not a first ballot CFB Hall of Famer, and to me that's asinine...

They don't let in players that wear dresses. Rule 101b section 2.

Joe Burrow was a better pure passer than Cam but he also had much better weapons around him. Cam pretty much loaded Auburn on his back and carried them to an SEC and BCS title. He is a giant douche but was a terrific college QB.

College Football Hall of Fame Requirements

Not saying he doesn’t meet them. Just posting this for context.

I thought so too. You only need a single consensus all American as far as play goes really.

That’s so crazy. He was one of the best college players ever.

I think his not diving on the fumble still haunts him. . .even with the CFB HoF

I pulled for him until that

I think most bailed on him after that

The fricking Super Bowl, and you won't?

What?

2019 SEC & BCS Natl Champs

Other than Alabama and Ohio State, who 3 or more National titles in that time frame?
