Did he have more talent than people remember or was it like I said that Cam balling out helped some guys get opportunities that they probably otherwise wouldn't have gotten?

I guess that’s a matter of opinion. 
 

just to be clear, I get what you are saying I think CJ Stroud did the same thing for Tank Dell.  I get it

Opinion?

Nick Fairly got drafted #13 overall in 2011 with Cam. He was the only highly drafted player who played with Cam... on the other side of the ball. Ziemba was a late 7th who never made an NFL active roster. Zach Clayton another DT on the roster who was drafted in the 7th and appeared in 3 NFL games. In 2012 Cam's RT got drafted in the 4th round. He played two NFL seasons starting three games. In 2013 the only Auburn player drafted was a DE. In 2014 OT Greg Robinson was drafted in the 1st and RB Tre Mason in the 3rd and neither ever played a snap with Cam.

The reality is that the NFL offensive talent around Cam when he won the Heisman and carried them to an undefeated national championship was a late 7th round LT who never made an NFL active roster and a future 4th round RT who would only play two seasons starting three games. That's the end of the list.

It is opinion until we see who is drafted from the Sellers SC team and see how they do.  As of now you are projecting.  I doubt anyone but Sellers gets drafted but we shall see.

Canes defense looks better than last year.  

Oh it's night and day.

Besides the DC being much better (they're not having anything like the same communication and lining up issues) they brought in like 7 new DBs, including a few All Americans.

Definitely gonna have to check out Indiana to catch this Mendoza guy. I mean, this is about as close to perfect as stat lines get...

Also, holy poo did Illinois ever get fraud checked as a top 10 team. LOL! I bet the list of top 10 teams getting blown out by 50+ plus is a very short list.

He only had 1 incompletion last week. He's 40-43 in the past two games 10 passing TDs, 1 tuddy rushing and 0 picks.  All this in 6 quarters as he was pulled at halftime last week.  Two weeks in a row with QB rating north of 250.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
