Well Luck might be a better person and he probably is better academically but in terms of football smarts? I don't think Luck is THAT much better than Newton. I mean he's had 4 different offensive systems in 4 years and excelled in everyone of them.


Now you are changing your statement.

Anyway, Cam excelled because he is an elite athlete and all time great college football player. I do not believe that being smart has so much bearing on your qb success as does his ability to read defenses quickly, which cam can do well. Cam may very well be a smart guy, but he has made many poor decisions off the field which doesnt help him out.

I do not believe that luck is head and shoulders above newton. All I have done is state reasons for why luck has a higher draft stock than newton. See my previous 5 posts for those reasons, which are obvious

I was going off purely what they did on the football field but either way, if their races were reversed, Cam would have been the higher ranked prospect and if Black Luck and White Cam both came out last year White Cam would have gone ahead of him.

I loved that earlier in the thread and was surprised you didn't get more love for it.

As a prospect with Luck's background vs. Newton's background as you mentioned - which is the "better prospect" ignoring 20/20 hindsight?



Luck unless you swap their races.
