re: Former LSU OLineman T-Bob Hebert says Cam's 2010 >>>>> Burrow 2019

Burrow didn't rely on our defense as much as that Auburn team did. Fairley was as essential to that team as Cam was. We didn't have anyone who could take over a game defensively like fairley did. Auburn would have lost some games without fairley's dominance.

As he stated, Burrow had the benefit of WAY more talent surrounding him than Cam did. Would Burrow's season been as effective if he had been throwing to Darvin Adams (undrafted FA), Terrell Zachery (undrafted FA), and Emory Blake (undrafted) instead of Ja'Marr Chase (AA and Biletnikoff Award), Justin Jefferson (projected mid-first round), and Terrace Marshall Jr. (probably comes close to 1000 yards as well if not for injury)? Not to even get started on comparing OLs and TEs.

Would anyone be talking about Cam at all if Auburn’s defense hadn’t won most of their games for them? There were several games where Auburn barely scored 20 points (one or two under 20 if I remember correctly).

Think about it for a minute. If Auburn has lost 2 games that year, (something they came damn close to doing) they would not be national champions for that year. Does anyone remember them if that happened? Does anyone talk up Cam if that happened?

Was Cam their entire offense? Yes. But don’t act like he had scrubs playing on the field with him either. They may not have been future NFL superstars, but everyone of them was highly rated at 3 stars or better coming out of high school.

You say “what would Burrow look like without those players”. But you fail to ask the question “what would those players look like without Burrow”.

You’re being dishonest on both accounts.

Yeah guess auburn WRs had one leg and one arm. Horrible ,I tell you

Why couldn’t he. Drew Brees has made a lot of WRs and TEs a lot of money.

Completely respect his opinion and the reason for it. I disagree for the following reasons

1) Cam beat LSU and Alabama, but struggled against both teams. He had a horrendous first half against Alabama. Also, the 2010 SEC Champion was not of the caliber of Georgia.
2) Joe never struggled. He dominated from start to finish. His only “struggle” related to not scoring in the red zone twice against Auburn. Otherwise, he statically dominated that game.
3) Auburn had fantastic defense Cam’s year. Fairly took over games at DT. He knocked QBs out of games. He single handed key controlled the line of scrimmage at times he won the Lombardi that year.
4) Dyer and McCaleb in the Gus attack are the equal of Chase/Marshall/Jefferson. Without Dyer , who was damn good at that time , pounding the middle or McCaleb with track speed on the outside Cam is shut down. Watch the LSU game that year. McCaleb killed us in the outside, which opened it up for Cam late.
5) Lutzenmotherfricker at TE was fantastic in that scheme.
6) Auburn at two first team all SEC O linemen that year and a third guy as 2nd team. I call that even with LSU
7) McCaleb was an outstanding returner who gave them great field position all year long.

Cam clearly had dominate plays during games. He did not dominate the entire game from start to finish. Joe dominated everyone from start to finish, especially his last three opponents and Alabama. Zero picks in those four games and 20 TDs. Cam didn’t do anything comparable to those achievements.

Joe Burrow=Jamarcus Russel 2.0. Doubt he gets really fat and addicted to sizzurp but the sweater is coming

Sometimes it is better to keep silent than to show ignorance. Advice you should heed.

No, I'm not the one being intellectually dishonest here.

I swear there are times when I think some of the folks here just manufacture outrage.

At the end of the season, we were being told by more than one LSU fan that you had one of, if not the best, WR corps in the country.

You say “what would Burrow look like without those players”.

No, I don't. I simply point out he had better players around him than Cam did. Are you refuting that fact?

Because the thread is a comparison between Burrow and Cam. Their supporting cast obviously plays a part in any discussion when comparing their college careers.

That said, you can keep your artificial rage make-believe insults. If your argument is that LSU's WR corps of 2019 is equal to Auburn's of 2010, that's your prerogative. You'd be wrong, but you can still have that opinion.

Is that what you legitimately happened? That your WRs would have been roughly average players with any other QB?

Is that how you feel about the Saints' WRs?

Auburn’s team in 2010 was pretty much Cam and Fairly so he might be right. Burrow has a mass of NFL talent around him last year.

Well, if there was ever was one man's opinion, this would be it......
