Just curious. Give me your QB and 2 RBs....And if you're feeling really cocky, maybe give me a line or two as to why you think it's the best All-time in the SEC? I'll open it up with mine...

Stetson Bennett - Yeah, Stafford has the NFL success and Murray has all the records, but hard to argue with 4 x playoff MVP including two in Natty games.

Walker - the Goal-Line Stalker will always be the standard
Nick Chubb - Even after blowing his knee out, still a beast

So, who yall got? I'm curious to hear your arguments ...is it the best in the SEC, or maybe even the nation!?

QB- Murray. He might have won a Heisman running Monken's offense. He still holds a lot of SEC passing records.

RB- Herschel. Nothing else needs to be said here.

RB- Gurley. I'm taking him over Chubb for one reason. They were equals as runners, but Gurley was hands down the better pass protector and receiver. More well rounded player.

They're good ones, but you'll have to make a pretty good argument to convince me (or anybody) that Cam is an all-time great in the entire SEC I'm afraid. I mean, let's face it, he threw for, what...100 yds and about 4 or 5 TDs total in 2 seasons at Florida? Then he threw for about 600 yds at that bastion of football greatness; Blinn Community college, before one year of stardom at Auburn. Doesn't that kinda present the poster child for a 'one-hit wonder'?

Joe Burrow - SEC record for yards and TDs
Kevin Faulk - SEC all-time leader in AP yards
Leonard Fournette - SEC 2nd all-time for rushing yards in a season

Running backs are really hard with different eras

Who would you pick for Auburn over Cam Newton, the Heisman Winner with an NC ring?

QB Vince Young

I was tempted to go with Gurley or even Hearst. RBU has alot to choose from.

QB: Tebow
RB: Jeff Demps
RB: Percy Harvin (he was used in the backfield a lot even as a WR).

Honorable mention: mike gillislee was one of the better downhill runners. I was also a huge Earnest Graham fan too.

I wasn't saying Cam wasn't the best Auburn ever had, but you'd have to make an argument is the best in the SEC of any QB...don't you think?

Nope just the best team of all time. You know that and that’s why you’re asking about them.

Of all the bragging you LSU fans do on here about Burrow and that 2019 team, that's the best you can come up with?
