2001 record: 1-15

Drafted: Julius Peppers HOFer

2003- Super Bowl Appearance

 

2010 record: 2-14

Drafted: Cam Newton franchise QB

2013: NFCS winners and playoff berth

2015: SB Appearance


Say what you will about this organization but not many teams out there with the exception of maybe the Chiefs can say they have reached the SB not once but twice just a few or couple short years after finishing dead last in the league.

I don’t think any of the QBs coming out in 2023 could hold Cam’s jock strap but I’d love to be wrong 

You must have not been around during draft time and pre draft in 2011. I remember it like it was yesterday, nearly EVERYONE and all the experts said that Cam was a HUGE risk and reach because he just ran a one read option at Auburn and it would take years for him to be NFL ready.

Mel Kiper and Mcshay were saying (no I’m not even joking) that we should draft Blaine Gabbert or Jake Locker over Cam because they were more pro ready day 1.

Stroud, Young and even Levis are way more NFL ready now then Cam was coming out of Auburn.

Heck not even Cam was Cam coming out in 2011, it was doom and gloom the moment Luck went back to school.

We could be talking about the next Manning or something come April you just never know.

So many want to say we have a depleted team.  I don't agree.  We have several good pieces in place and Fitterer made it a point that we will not trade any of our good young talent.

We have to nail this first pick and our history shows we are pretty good at getting a good player in the first round.   

I think if do well with the 4 picks we have in the first 3 rounds we can compete in 2023 for a division title and the playoffs.

I was around. It was so easy to fall in love with the potential. Red flags? Absolutely.

But the dude was one of, if not the most physically gifted QB prospect of all time, and he dominated the SEC, carrying Auburn on his back. 
 

The main concern was “CaM iS a SeLfIsH tHuG” which always needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
