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!

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
