Still think Mallett was a better QB though and stick with Mallett as my choice.

This might sound homerish but I would say Jamarcus Russell. In college the guy would shrug off tackles and extend the plays to get the ball off, and when he threw, it looked so effortless. For three years I was in awe of his talent. Now I just shake my head given how his pro career has panned out, but in college I was excited to see what he could do in every single game.

I came here to post Jamarcus. In college he was amazing. Crazy how money just changed him in less than a year.

Vince Young was better than Cam.

I would give the edge to Tebow over Cam just on the basis of longevity of college career.




Frazier was dominant, too. Not sure the Gators have tackled him yet...a

Career wise, yes. But Cam Newton's 1 dominant season proves he was better. Plus the fact that he's actually a good NFL quarterback as well. As much as people like to joke on Newton for being a head case (for reasons I've yet to figure out), Young was a true definition of a head case.

Between Tebow and Newton. I wish we could have seen another year or two of Cam at Auburn.

It was Tebow for me until I went on the road to see LSU play Auburn in 2010 and watched Cam Newton run for like 220 and Auburn put up around 600 yards of total offense. This included his "heisman moment" when he outran/dragged Patrick Peterson into the endzone. This was against one of the best defenses LSU has ever fielded. Mo Claiborne, Tyrann Mathieu, Nevis, Sheppard..

So yea, I agree with you. Newton hands down.

I know this is a little OT, but the best high school QB I witnessed in person was Jordan Jefferson. Dude could sling it.

Chris weinke, most dynamic Michael Vick guy was amazing. I was at the sugar bowl when they played FSU and he blew me away never seen anything like it.

why can't I remember Dinardo's DC when he was the head coach - it seemed like every week we made the opposing team qb look like a all American.

Glad that he was already listed. When I first saw this thread title I thought of Tommy Frazier. Of course, Cam Newton had a great season, but Frazier ran that team longer. He was incredible.

To this day, those Nebraska teams of the mid 90's were the best college football teams I ever saw.
