Auburn coach tries to set record straight on Cam Newton

[SCP]

Didn't see this one posted. Gus Malzahn interview.

Q: I assume you would have taken him No. 1

A: "In my opinion, it’s like passing over (Michael) Jordan."

Q: Does he compare to any quarterback you’ve coached or scouted?

A: "Nobody. Nobody. I hear people compare him ... Naw. They don’t know. They don’t know what I know. "

Q: What’s that?

A: "That he’s not like anybody else."

sounds like he is describing some kind of serial killer, very good

He makes Newton sound like a superhero. In the off season he saves kittens and pisses on forest fires. He saves sleepy drunks from those dangerous but comfortable train tracks. He wont even have a number this year just big middle finger.

I am in the process of fabricating a Cam Newton spot light to shine into the night sky on Saturday night before games.

Good article and good read. It is going to be fun seeing how this story plays out. One thing I do agree with is this from the article.

....But if you really look at the pro game, it looks to me like about 50 percent of the time most teams are in a shotgun. So I think that’s fairly overrated to be honest with you."

Aint that the truth!!

No offense but shouldn't we all wait until he actually does something for the Panthers? I just kind of see him as a talented kid who played QB at Auburn.

This IS THE TALE OF CAMERON NEWTON.

Wait? Do you have any idea how long it takes to fabricate a super hero spot light from scratch?

nice!

A bit off topic, but I think a lot of people sell Gus Malzahn and his offense short as well.

He is a very innovative guy, including his communication system. Malzahn is going to be a hot candidate soon for head coach somewhere at the college level.

I think he went a little far by comparing Cam and Jordan.

But hey, if it's true then his "I want to be an icon" statement will come true.:ihih:
