Thank you.

Success=No Superbowl Rings, No Championship Rings, Injuries

A lot of good qb's can say that though. Dan Fouts, Archie Manning, Dan Marino (well, he did have a AFC championship, but no superbowl). Championships are won by a team, not a individual.

But I do get your point though. Running QB's don't do well in the NFL. The question with Newton will be, can he learn to throw it in the NFL and can he handle the mental aspects of it? But then, those are the question about every NFL QB prospect.

exactly. plus the nfl today is evolving into a whole other game. you have to make people miss in the pocket or extend plays because these days DE's and LB's are bigger and faster. take a look at the last 3 super bowl winners and their qb position. those 3 guys might have some of the best pocket presences and can extend a play while keeping their eyes down field. thats what its about.

None of the last 3 superbowl winners resemble Newton? They are passing QBs who can move in the pocket, not rushing Qbs.

Here is a question. Can you run 1 yard, 10 yards or 40 yards faster than you can throw it? Didn't think so.

newton has been compared to ben. the system he was in was for him to take off and get what you can with your legs if that one read was not open. even as they year progressed and teams would stop the run, he torched them threw the air while in the pocket.

By torched, you mean ranked 36th in the NCAA for passing yardage?

Those passing yards dont mean nothing if you cant put points on the board...whats Newton ranking in TDs again?

30 passing TDs.....2 less than Mallett and Luck.....

Unless you want to run him for 28 TDs in the NFL.....good luck with that.

[Davidson Deac II]

Fwiw, 36th in the NCAA can be pretty good, especially since Newton is probably going up against consistently better defenses than some of those ahead of him might face.

Mallett is in the SEC. He's 5th.

Randy Fasani deserved better too.
