Cam Newton
Tim Tebow
Vince Young
Danny Wuerffel

Michael Vick was amazingly dynamic, and Matt Leinart was pretty impressive too.

I agree with Cam Newton. Unfortunately I was at Jordan-Hare when he dragged PP7 10 yards into the endzone for a TD. Unbelievable

Manziel is a better passer than Newton, referring to college Newton. He is more dynamic. Newton's biggest threat was that he could run and he's the size of a truck. Not a knock on Newton, he was incredible, just blown away more by Manziel. The rest of the SEC seemed to have a down year for Cams break out season outside of LSU.

Tebow was also incredible. He and Newton are both like linebackers playing QB, and were so tough to stop as runners. Manziel is smart with the ball, and despite his lack of size, did even more than both.

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.



I don't disagree with Young being a head case, but Newtons hate is well deserved because the dude is a bitch. Good NFL QB is a stretch, he's middle of the pack to me. He had a great start to his rookie season, and the second half was mediocre.
I called him having a sophomore slump, and I'd say he did. He also has less than or exactly at 60% completion for both seasons. His threat as a runner is what makes him dangerous, and defenses caught up to that. 19 tds 12 INTs/ 21 tds 17 INTs in his 2 seasons. Gimmick bullshite only works for so long in the NFL, the consistent quarterbacks are passers, Newton isn't that.

Lets also take into account that he hasn't been a winner in the NFL, and he doesn't know how to handle losing. He's been spoiled with being the best in college and never having anyone to stop him. Go Cam, you look really cool doing the Superman move, as you're down by 30 points.

I did, and I watched him vs everyone else also. If he had Cam Newton or Tebow's size he would be unstoppable.

No question for me Matthew Stafford his last year he was making throws other Qbs just dreamed about. A great pure thrower of the ball.

Have to also put Luck and RG3 in there.

There's a reason why Luck was so hyped, he looked like a NFL quarterback out there.

You also don't see quarterbacks lay a hit like this. LINK

I saw Vince Young in 2004 when UT played at Arkansas.

Still think Mallett was a better QB though

Do you actually think this makes sense? A person's physical traits are already there.

If Spud Webb had Michael Jordan's size, he would have been unstoppable.

If Mettenberger had Cam's speed, he'd be unstoppable.

C'mon man!
