Cam took over games which is why I say Gus got out of the way and let him play.
I don't know what Gus did or didn't do in regards to "tutoring" Cam, but this makes sense to me. Look at the guy when he was actually put in at Florida for several plays. Look at his play at Blinn College.
It seems absurd to me that some people (you know who you are, sunnamuhbeetches) want to give Gus the majority of the credit for "tutoring" Cam as a QB when, in reality, he came in as an awesome QB. The system was adapted to revolve around Cam.
Malzahn is a fucking offensive genius in my opinion, but I don't think that anyone needs to bow down to him or any other offensive coaches at Auburn and respect what they did for Cam Newton, because most of Cam's abilities, talent, and playing style were already there.
Without a QB who doubles as a rushing threat, Malzahn's offense is struggling. Of course, that's not the only problem. If there was a QB who could pass, then I think Malzahn could and would adapt; it's not as if he's a one trick pony that requires a rushing QB. If there was an offensive line which allowed a young, passing QB to progress, then Malzahn could make some improvements. Nonetheless, it's clear that he doesn't have the level of QB talent to afford him the ability to succeed this season in regard to offensive schemes.
