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!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
