Auburn coach tries to set record straight on Cam Newton

Recommended Posts

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."

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!!

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

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.

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

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