Auburn AD OK with Cam Newton statue

I'm sorry, but isn't it a little bit too early for that?

if it's going to happen at Auburn, no reason not to do it now... not like anything he does in the NFL will matter there.

...unless you're like me and you expect that we haven't heard the less of that "pay for play" stuff.

won't impact him in the NFL at all but it could be a reason not to put up a statue of him at Auburn.

This is something Auburn decided to do for their Heisman winners before Cam even won the Heisman. I wouldn't be surprised if other schools with Heisman winners follow Florida and Auburns lead.

It is not so much about Cam in particular. Last spring a decision was made to erect statues of Auburn's past heisman trophy winners, Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson. Ironically, Cam won the heisman this past year, so obviously he gets one too. Then AU decided to add a 4th statue (not exactly sure why, maybe to have two on each side) and I believe it will be of John Heisman (once coached at AU).

I'm just saying how they're just giving Bo a Statue after 25 years, and now they give Cam one after just 1 year?

And yes, I know this was done for all Heisman winners, but what if Newton's gets revoked?

then it will still be Alabama and that statue will be as safe as one of the ten commandments in the state court. oh wait...

Auburn's AD doesn't seem to be worried about that!

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
