i realize cam is from the NFL. however, people keep talking about what cam did for the offense. i don't see it. cam was handed hill, obj, mett, landry, turner, collins. thats the best group of offensive talent in the les miles era. i saw a lot of individual stats but i don't see how the offense scored that many more points than in previous years or won us any games with come from behind scoring (ie georgia). cam is a very good coach but i didn't see any impact on WINS last year.

Uh... The offense was responsible for at least the first 7 or 8 of our wins last season and was the only reason we were even close in the Georgia game. Couldn't come from behind in Georgia? Are you serious? Not only did we come from behind and answer the bell each time, but the reason we lost that game was because of our defense, which was too young and inexperienced to cope with a healthy Georgia offense. It was not until late in the season that personnel changes and coaching gelled our defense, particularly in the secondary, and we started to see play rising to the level that we have become accustomed to in the John Chavis era. And even then it was inconsistent.

Cam was given talent, but so was Stud. That same talent took the field on the offensive side of the ball in 2012 and we were one of the worst offenses in the country. Luckily our defense was unbelievable and bailed out the offense, much like it did in 2011.

Only when the talent of our offense and defense coincide will we win another championship, and with Cam at the helm of our offense, it has been shown that he can raise the level of play on that side of the ball. Period. Let's hope he can get through to Harris or Jennings (or shite, Rettig, I don't really care who plays QB), and we get some explosiveness from our skill positions. Because if I had to guess, our defense will once again be pretty damn good.
