Cam Newton vs Andrew Luck - Now who would you choose?

[MWCarolina]

Honestly, the way Newton is playing, it's harder for me to answer this. if we didnt see him play the first few games i would go Luck in a heartbeat, but now, i keep Newton. i think both will be great pros though. Newton surprised me, i never expected 400 yard games from him this year, though i did expect us to be fighters in games with him passing, but never for the yards he has thrown for.

before these past 4 games Luck after, Cam you seriously could not hope for a rookie QB to do better

Ask a silly question get a silly answer.

[dimbee]

I don't see Luck being this electrifying from game 1

[Jangler]

Newton dewin' it now.

[bleys]

no one in their right mind would take Luck over Newton... except for the franchise set to pick 1st who doesn't already have Cam Newton on their team..

Andrew Luck can lick my balls. fug him.

[bauss]

I will take luck anywhere I can. Just not the kind out of Stanford.

I could only wish. TRD was one of the greatest posters on this board. A true martyr. This place was a much better forum with him around. He will be missed.

QOTD: If you had to choose today would you take the sure thing in :cam: or would you go with the unknown in Andrew Luck? Man that felt good to say!

Someone in my other forum asked me a similar question.

Keep in mind this was before Newton played 1 game as a pro:

I'm DG in the other forum:

DG, I certainly respect your opinion on these things but that sentence gave me a bit of a "wtf?" moment. Why would you say that Newton and Locker are better prospects than Luck unless you're talking about pure physical attributes (even though Luck is no slouch there, either)?

I'll try be as concise as a I can.

For me Luck is a good prospect mainly because of his playmaking ability but Newton and Locker are not only both better playmakers but both have better arm strength.

I think what people like most about Luck is his command of Stanford's offense and his "pro-readiness".

But, his command on Stanford's offense is less about him as it is about Stanford's talented offensive line and Stanfords schematic advantages provided by an NFL quality coaching staff especially at the QB position.

Being more "pro-ready" only matters during the 1st training camp for example Clausen was considered the most pro-ready over Bradford, McCoy and The Golden Calf of Bristol yet Clausen had the worst season.

My point with the above statement is that being pro-ready isn't nearly as important as people believe.

Mind you I'm not saying that Luck is a bad prospect, I think he's one of the better prospects in the upcoming draft.

But, for me right now I would have Newton and Locker rated ahead of Luck.

I dont really care about tony's opinion because he doesn't watch any games but Wilbon is the ultimate uncle tom.

He goes against blacks in everything, he's such a huge sellout and a dumb ass.

I think there is something to be said (and it's not positive) about guys that want to go back for another year when they are projected to be the #1 pick AND have graduated...call me cynical but I think it shows a little bit of softness. They would rather be big fish in small pond than have to prove themselves all over again...a la matt lineart. Not saying those 2 are anything alike... Just a little hyperbole.

Now I do think Luck is an incredible pro prospect. But I now doubt he has the same burning desire to win and dominate at every level...I knew Cam had it and he is showing it every day.
