Why I Want Cameron Newton To Succeed.

In terms of full disclosure, I did not grow up as a fan of an SEC team. It’s just me. But as I’ve found my way down toward the SEC, fun factor is something that is just as important as alliegance. And I’m here to tell you, a successful Cam Newton is good for the SEC.

Why? Well, that’s why we’re here, isn’t it?

First of all? When you have someone who had the physical gifts of a 250 pound guy who runs a 4.5 40 yard dash, there is no doubt that you are the sort of physically gifted triggerman who would make the Gus Malzahn offense sing. He nearly combined for 3500 yards in total offense last year at his junior college. If he can translate this? There will be some big Saturdays in his future.

And if you steal the show? You get your own parody of the Bill Brasky facts. That’s just win.

Cameron Newton Fact: Alligators kill themselves for the chance to be worn by Cam Newton.

REASON THE SECOND! A part of the fun of the SEC is rivalry weeks. The Third Saturday in October, the Iron Bowl, the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Cameron Newton only makes this history more fun. Remember, Auburn almost beat Alabama with a rag armed pocket passer. Imagine how the games going to go with the man destined to run Gus Malzahn’s basketball on grass.

But that’s not all…

Yes, that is Tim Tebow’s hip colliding with the form of Cameron Newton. And yes, this was the man who beat out John Brantley before he transferred. For you see? He bought a stolen laptop and wasn’t nearly cool enough about it to stay within the Urban Meyer family.

So now? He’s a War Eagle. And for the next two years, he’s the sort of guy who’s potentially good enough to change the game and make music with the rivalries.

Reason the third? Because there is no way that a successful Cam Newton can make the common fan sick of the high praise and hosannas that the news of the mainstream media would undoubtedly rain down on him.

Of course? I could be wrong. But I really don’t want to.
