What is the best supporting cast Cam has ever had?

and do we have a chance at this year being his best? What other moves need to be made to surround him with the most help he's had in his career?

Personally I think he had his best supporting cast overall in 13 and I hated Hixon.

2013

Receiving Targets:Smith,Olsen, Lafell, Ginn, and Hixon.

RB: Williams, Stewart and Tolbert in the backfield. 

This was also his last year with Gross and Wharton anchoring the left side of the line.

2016 or 2011 would be the runner up IMO.

2016

Receiving Targets: Olsen, Benjamin, Ginn, Funchess

RB:Stewart, Fozzy and Cap.

2011

Receiving Targets: Smith, Olsen, Lafell, Shockey and Nanee ( He actually managed over 400 yards that year)

RB: Williams, Stewart and Goodson. (Cam, Stewart and Williams all had over 5 ypc that year and over 700 yards a piece)

Jury has spoken, 2011 it is. Pretty damn sad that his rookie year is the best supporting cast we have given him in a 7 year career. 

What other moves does Hurney need to make to right this ship?

Here are his most targeted receivers from last year with the number of times they were targeted.

  1. McCaffrey -113
  2. Funchess -111
  3. Benjamin    51 (over 8 games)
  4. Dickson      48
  5. Olsen          38 (skewed by injury)
  6. Shepard     33
  7. Samuel       26
  8. Byrd            17
  9. Klay             15

Rushing attemps for 2018

  1. Stewart      198
  2. CAM            139
  3. McCaffrey  117
  4. CAP                18
  5. WHITAKER     7

Yeah, 2011 by a landslide.  That was such fun to watch, and it's no coincidence, Cam was setting passing records left and right that year.  Give him the weapons and protection and you'll quickly find that footwork and accuracy improves leaps and bounds.  He just needs the weapons.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
