You don't think Cam Newton was one of the best (power) read-option quarterbacks in CFB history? Even though he only had one season, he completely dominated SEC competition at the height of it's power.

Colin Kaepernick from Nevada, after rushing for over 4,000 yards in college?

Brad Smith from Mizzou, who also rushed for over 4,000 yards in college?

Brad Smith is a good choice

The one people seem to always to forget also is Charlie Ward. When they went "Fast Break" he was reading and optioning most of the time.

It's his options were passes.

Colt Brennan was probably the best Run n Shoot college QB as it had been figured out and he still lit people up.

Exactly. Full disclosure, I hate AU with a passion. 2002 LSU alumni here. But Cam was incredible.

2008 - 5-7
2009 - 8-5
2010 - 14-0
2011 - 8-5
2012 - 3-9

Guess which year Cam played. AU would have been another 8 win team without Cam, at best. Instead, they have a crystal ball.

Cam is definitely in that top tier, and I think he's one of the biggest jabronis in the league. Being objective.
