I think Cam is hard to rank really. He is probably the 15th best pure passer in the league. He is the best running quarterback bar none in the league. On fourth quarter comebacks he is probably 25th. At this point it depends on what you are looking at really. As for the future, he might have the most upside of any quarterback particularly if put in the right scheme.

Not being rude because I think it is unfair to compare a #1 pick to a second rounder, but where is Andy Dalton?

Well now that you brought him up..

The ones who could someday crack the top 15

16) Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts: Yes, I'm projecting his selection by the Colts at No. 1. (Pretty bold!) He's not this highly rated for no reason, guys. And you'd take him and his potential for the 2012 season over anyone else between here and 32.

17) Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals: He showed me a lot winning nine games as a rookie last year, but the praise he got overshadowed his actual production. Show me you can win games as a sophomore and you'll be higher next year.

18) Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams: I can't wait to see how well he does now that he has actual receivers to throw the football to. He could make the biggest jump on this list between now and the end of 2012. Possible breakout.

19) Josh Freeman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: As we saw last season, he wasn't quite ready to have the Bucs' fortunes completely rest on his shoulders. This is a HUGE year for him to show he can do it. He has all the tools -- now he needs to become a leader.

Rapoport: Preseason intrigue

The preseason schedule is out, and there's plenty of intrigue in the 65-game slate. Ian Rapoport provides top storylines. More ...

20) Carson Palmer, Oakland Raiders: His best days are behind him (bad). But now he has a whole offseason with the team's playbook (good). But he's still throwing to DHB and a bunch of no-names he can't make better (bad).

21) Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins: Projecting his selection at No. 2 by Washington. You can't just say he's the next Cam Newton, but you can't say he isn't either. If I thought he would throw for a high completion percentage right off the bat, I'd have him just behind Luck.

22) Jake Locker, Tennessee Titans: Projecting he'll beat out Matt Hasselbeck. He really surprised me in 2011 with the way he was able to ignite Tennessee without a running game. Right now he's still all potential, but more accurate than I thought.

I don't understand the man's logic.

"17) Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals: He showed me a lot winning nine games as a rookie last year, but the praise he got overshadowed his actual production. Show me you can win games as a sophomore and you'll be higher next year".

If Andy must "show" he can win games as a sophomore why not ask the same from Cam? In the big picture Dalton had a much more successful season than Cam but he's not asking Cam to step up his game. It seems to me he's judging Cam on stats and Andy on wins which is unfair to both IMO.

Oh and LMFAO, Vick @ 10.

Ohx2, I don't seeing RG3 as the next Cam Newton. I see him more as a righthanded Steve Young. Don't you think Jason Smith is a bit racist for comparing black QB's to Black QB's?
