80Tiger 899 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 From a national perspective, it seems there has always been somewhat of a "negative" vibe towards him. For the past few years all you heard was Andrew Luck will be the greatest ever and how he was head and shoulders above Cam (even in college). I believe we are seeing the true value of each. While Luck is good, he is not on the same level as Cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Luck is good, he is not on the same level as Cam. Well Luck has the skills to be a great qb. He has some work to do to take the next step. As for the attitude towards Cam, consider this. We've seen multiple people come into the NFL with great athletic ability but never developed to a top qb who can operate from the pocket. They relied on their ability to run too much. The question was whether or not Cam would do what it took to be a pocket oriented qb or just rely on his athletic ability. He has done that so attitudes are changing. I believe that crash last year played a bit of a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,406 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The whole NFL = no fun league, still has some of the football snobs trying to put Cam in a nice tidy box whereas some see him as a unique football player - which we auburn fans know him to be. I'm not sure I'll go so far as to say he is redefining the position but he sure is doing it differently than everyone else. And the most mind boggling thing to the "no funs" is he is doing it with a smile on his face, with fun and class. All the things auburn folks saw from Cam in 2010.

That is the difference between this Cam and previous versions. It's what has him in line to possibly be the MVP. Even as recently as last year, he hadn't progressed enough to have a game like he had against the giants. As time rolls on that running ability will decline in effectiveness much quicker than throwing the ball. I don't care how big you are, you keep taking those hits game after game over multiple seasons, it's going to take a toll physically. I realize how his line hasn't been good enough to protect him like they'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,153 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hey, y'all. Time to light up this guy's Twitter. Got a week left. Encourage him to honor his bet, and be sure to compliment his similarity to Nostradamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 He won't do it and I hope he doesn't get famous over it. He doesn't deserve it. I can tell from this guys Twitter that he is a real tool. Jim Rome Monday morning sports commentator types are always full of hot air. And they get paid to be full of hot air. I'm surprised Cowherd admitted he was wrong about Saban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,153 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Cam's numbers today. 21/26 296 yards 2 TDs and 0 picks. 6 rushes for 10 yards and 2 TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to watch it today but I kept up with the stats on my phone. I'm surprised the offense was able to move the ball like it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Heard a little fun fact. Should Cam win the MVP, he'll be the 6th number one draft choice to win it and the third Heisman winner to also be NFL MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_M4_AU 7,853 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Some talking heads are trying to promote Russel Wilson as a contender, I hope its too little too late or just presenting an option to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. After Brady and Palmer both bombed week 17 there really isn't a better option. I wouldn't be shocked if it's unanimous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just like to be contrary. It's like the people who won't vote for anyone to be in the HOF the first time they are eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
