Cam Newton Conspiracy

Cam Newton's road to redemption may have come upon an inconvenient speed bump, but he's still eligible to play as Auburn continues a dream season that's almost over. Despite one damning allegation after another, the Auburn Family has continued to defend and stand up for him. Coach Gene Chizik feels so strongly about the innocence of his quarterback that he would gladly put his dream job on the line for him. Athletic Director Jay Jacobs hasn't even tried to defend the institution itself, because he also feels so strongly about the character of one individual. Why would these seemingly intelligent men go out on an limb for an athlete, unless they were absolutely positive of his innocence and integrity? Auburn's athletic department was made aware of the recruiting controversy by the SEC several months before the season started. A thorough investigation was conducted, and no concrete proof of wrongdoing was ever found. If anything at all had turned up, Newton would not have been named the starting quarterback.

This entire ordeal reeks of conspiracy, and it all starts with the amateur level of reporting that has yet to improve. No one has found any real proof of wrongdoing, or a credible source who is man enough to speak on the record. These journalists (bloggers essentially) have published rumors that can neither be confirmed nor denied by anyone involved. They have violated Federal Privacy Laws and embarrassed themselves in the process. All this in an attempt to crush the hopes and dreams of student athletes and a loyal fan base. Auburn supporters are shrewd enough to see through the transparency of this obvious injustice though. Cam is innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

Auburn is now a legitimate title contender, a position this program is not used to being in. It's also impossible for Heisman voters to ignore #2. Not only is Newton dominant, but he's a consistent dual threat that defenses can only hope to contain in some capacity. If Auburn goes on to win the game in Glendale, they will be the fifth SEC team in a row to do so. This does not sit well with the rest of the country, so it seems as if the "objective" media has decided to demonize the conference by picking on the school that has been getting the most exposure. Preventing another Reggie Bush scandal also seems like a top priority, no one in the long history of Heisman trophy has ever had to give it back until this year.

Despite all this jealousy and animosity, Auburn will continue to play football with their star quarterback. This controversy will finally blow over sooner or later, and we can all move on with our lives. Newton can finally make the money he deserves in the NFL, and we can discuss his achievements to no end. No one can deny that he is one of the greatest to ever play the game of college football, and his legend will continue to grow. The funny thing is that no one will have to exaggerate his unmeasurable talent and ridiculous statistics. He is just that good!!

Cam Newton 4 Heisman!!!!

While my loyalty to my Alma Mater may take away from objectivity, I can honestly say with conviction and proof that the best college football player in the country plays for the Auburn Tigers. The impact he's had on this team has become impossible to ignore, just look at the rankings!! His dual threat potential was apparent from the initial announcement of his recruitment, but who could've predicted the ridiculous statistics on his resume this season. Newton has the rare capability to turn a broken play into a first down by scrambling out of the pocket without hesitation. A 6'6" quarterback who weighs 250 pounds is not easy to bring down, but his agility allows him to elude even the most determined tacklers. His passer rating could not be better either.

Newton's chances of winning the Heisman Trophy seem more than likely, but a considerable amount of his success would not be possible without the talented supporting cast that surround him. Contrary to popular belief, Auburn's success isn't based on the stellar performance of one player. The experienced offensive line deserves recognition and respect for their efforts this season. Without adequate blocking from Ryan Pugh, Byron Isom, Jason Bosley and Lee Ziemba, Cam Newton would not have had the opportunity to showcase his talent against the best defenses the SEC has to offer. Running backs Onterrio McCalebb and Mike Dyer have done all they can to make Auburn's rushing attack that much more dangerous. Their speed and power have complemented Newton well, while providing some timely blocks in the process. Receivers Darvin Adams, Terrell Zachery and Kodi Burns have been reliable targets for Newton to throw to. Malzahn's offense has been unstoppable this year, so much so that they have been able to compensate for any deficiencies the defense may have.

The most amazing thing about Cam Newton is his consistency and invincibility. He can perform well under pressure and on the biggest stage. He's had bad drives and bad quarters, but he hasn't had a bad game. Other leading Heisman candidates cannot claim the same thing. Mark Ingram was held to 33 yards rushing last year in the Iron Bowl, but it would not factor into his Heisman campaign. His performance in that game did not affect the voters' decision to give him the award. Newton will have to continue playing at a high level to lead the team to the SEC Championship game and beyond, but the Heisman trophy should be his at this point. No one else deserves it as much as he does. I really hope he stays for his senior season like Tebow did, but I would understand if he decides to make the jump into the NFL. His popularity and exposure will peak by the the time the season ends, he might as well strike while the iron is hot. Auburn fans owe him a debt of gratitude whether he leaves or stays.

WAR CAM EAGLE!!!
