Who would you want as your QB for your college team? They mentioned a Cam Newton comparison on the rankings show and I think that it's a good question. This is based solely on their performances in college, not Cams NFL career.

Lamar is 10x as athletic as Cam. Lamar will be better next year than he is this year, so I'll take my chances with him.

Lamar is much faster but Cam is much stronger, you couldn't go wrong either way IMO. If I had to choose I'd go Lamar right now, but it would be close.

Should Lamar sit out next season, he's already a top 5 pick probably next year...why risk the injury?

If he chose to sit out next season I wouldn't touch him if I was an NFL team. I want players who want to play and want to win and will sacrifice themselves for the sake of the team. There isn't any injury unless something absolutely horrific that you can't come back from.

Because he's going to win back to back Heisman Trophies.

I think I would take Cam because of his size and strength. I think Cam Newton is Lebron James in a football uniform as far as mere physical presence. He's one of the first dude off the bus kind of guy. You shouldn't be able to be as big as Cam is and do the things he can do. But with that said Lamar is probably the best athlete I've ever seen play college football and has insane arm strength and has just about everything you want in a QB. I'll take Cam, but it's so close.

His team will be in prime position to win a NC that is a much better reason. Ask Tebow.

We'll see how the defense looks next year, but that too.

I loathe him, but I'd take Cam every time.

10x? Come on. Cam is much bigger, so his athleticism doesn't look as impressive in the open field. Lamar may be a better athlete but not by that much, if he's a better athlete at all. He is faster though.

 

I'll take Cam because he was undefeated as a starter, won a championship, and the heisman. Better passer, equally dangerous running. He had a better supporting cast and played better competition so his stats aren't as out of this world as Lamar's. However, Newton was a beast.

 

In the past 15 years or so, Lamar does compare favorably to Newton, Tebow (best college QB of the era IMO) and Mike Vick in terms of dual threat guys. He may pass all of them but not yet.

Ten times. Cam is bigger than Lamar, that's it. Lamar makes plays Cam couldn't dream of making.

 

Newton was a great college quarterback. I'll take Lamar.

Couldn't dream of making? Did we watch the same QB at Auburn? Newton and Jackson are both freaks to which Mike Vick is probably their only athletic equal at QB in the college game.

 

For every play Jackson makes that Newton couldn't dream about, what about the plays Newton made that Jackson couldn't?

I feel like this may spin off into another thread, but whether you picked Lamar or Cam is there any other Heisman trophy winner in the past 15 years that you would take over the guy you picked?

I'll take Tebow and laugh all the way to the National Championship. No where near as talented, but he's the best college QB I've ever watched.
