I can see I am in the minority here. I've just always liked Hartline because the fans were on him from day 1. He was never given the "he's young lets give him some time" pass.

 

Thats sweet, but it doesn't make your arguments any more valid.

You're right, it is easy to pick and choose, and your choice is obviously WAY skewed.

 

Hartline's 1666 yards came on 311 attempts (5.4ypa)

Newton's 706 came on 135 attempts (5.2ypa)

 

Hartline also had 9 TDs (34.5 attempts per TD) and 8 INT (38.9 attempts per TD) while Newton had a much better 6 TDs (22.5 attempts per TD) and 3 INT (45 attempts per INT)

Why do you think Hartline was allowed to throw more passes? Think before you post. It was obvious the coaching staff was not going to allow Newton to make any mistakes.

That's because he sucks.
