I honestly have no clue how either of these guys will turn out in the pros but I have a hard time believing that Cam Newton doesn't have more potential to succeed than Mr. Luck. Not saying for one second that Luck won't be the bomb but how can anyone honestly compare the two and say Luck is the better prospect? How much has anyone here actually seen him play. Take a look at a simple comparison.
Andrew Luck 6'4" 235
Passing: 263/372 70.7% 3338 yds 32 TD 8 INT 170.16 PR
Rushing: 453 Yards 3 TD
Cam Newton 6'6" 250
Passing: 185/280 66.1% 2854 yds 30TD 7INT 182.05 PR
Rushing: 1,483 Yards 20TD
A couple of things to note here. Luck plays in the offense minded PAC SUX and in fact threw almost 100 more passes for 32 TD's. Cam throws almost 100 less passes for 30 TDs....against the best defenses, the best league in the country..by a country mile. Cam rushed for 1,483 yards and 20 TDs...again..against the best defenses in the country, while Luck hammered out 3 scores. Yes, I'm well aware that no QB will be able to run in the pros like Cam did this year in college; however, he WILL run a good bit regardless and that threat will make him dangerous in the pros as well. It's not like you can't run at all in the pros from the QB position. It's been done. Ask John Elway, Steve Young, Fran Tarkenton, Michael Vick etc.
My biggest thing with Cam is looking at what he did in this league and how he improved to become an incredibly well rounded QB in ONE year. Just think what he could do with 2-3 years of professional tutoring and experience.
