On Cam Newton:
Blaine Gabbert is a better prospect than him and arguably Christian Ponder. Looker has disappointed me with his accuracy and his ability to win big games and I see him as the 4th best QB- although he has that term usually exclusively used on afroletes "upside". Production is an important measuring stick and Cam Newton was very productive like Tebow with a high completion percentage and won a BCS championship. Like Tebow, he didn't go past a second read in college before taking off running, but Tebow has made good, so far, with showing his potential in the NFL. Tebow is a little more accurate than Newton on long throws (it's close though), but both showed good accuracy on short and intermediate throws most of the time. However, both occasionally threw basic passes at receivers feet due to bad mechanics. Both these guys can elude rushers with short area quickness and have good burst and vision for scrambling, but Newton is a bit faster than Tebow. Tebow has a bit of an intelligence edge over Newton and there's no doubt he has a huge character edge over Newton although Newton's issues WEREN'T signs that he's COMPLETE SCUM as far as I know.
I find it ridiculous, that Tebow was listed as a 2nd or even 3rd round pick by many draft "gurus" and Newton is projected to go before the 12th pick by Wienieworld. I'm just glad Tebow ended up being a 1st round pick, even with all the hate.
Like you, I'm sick of the favouritism black QBs get, but think most of you guys are a bit hard with your analysis of them. Even "abysmal EQ" Vince Young, has a 30-17 record as a starter in the NFL (and Vick- despite his scummy past had a great year last year). There may not be a black Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees in the NFL now, but for 13% of the population blacks make a solid impact here.
Please inform me about the laptop and cheating scandals with Newton. I have vague knowledge of these things, but don't know the details, thanks guys. BTW, I will probably just rank the white players this year and project their draft round without the caste system.
