    Cam Newton vs. Robert Griffin III?

    Just had a little debate with one of my buddies on the topic. I was split and said I'd take either... but he just loves Newton's abilities and believes that it's a no-brainer pick. Who would you take to lead your team?

    Obviously Newton came out on top in their week 9 matchup but I still find it difficult to compare the two... Cam is in his dreaded sophmore slump, whereas RG3 is a rookie... but if I just had to I think I'd go with RG3. Redskins offense has completely come alive since he's arrived and he's so dang accurate. But like i said..I like Cam Newton too.

    Don't like cams attitude. I would take rg3 i guess, but i would rather have a true pocket passer like luck,manning.ryan

    RGIII is the choice. Newton reminds me of Daunte Culpepper. RGIII has major heart, athletic ability, and a high football IQ. Better attitude overall. RGIII!!!!

    RGIII is a more intelligent version of Michael Vick.

    RG3 is not a more intelligent version of Vick. What a joke that statement is. He plays nothing like Vick and isn't half the playmaker that Vick is with the ball in his hands.

    As for the orig question, I'll take Newton. Strong arm, just as athletic, big solid frame that will hold up, and better pocket presence already. Shannahan has implemented a gimmick offense for RG3 and i don't trust it long term.

    Vick one of biggest dumbasses in nfl. Guy is a retarded qb. Can't see the blitz coming a mile away. 9 guys will step up to the line and he won't even realize it's an all out blitz.

    RGIII has no defense and no wide receivers, I would not say he is a proven loser, I'm not sure any QB could have led that team to better than a .500 record.
    I originally said RGIII would be the biggest bust since 'Nam, but I am currently eating my words. I did not realize that he is a very intelligent individual, and with his skill set, that will lead to a long, successful NFL career.

    do you know why he gets sacked so much? philly's terrible o-line right? if that's the case why did he get sacked so much in atl?

    wake up pal. vick isn't who you think he is. he can't read defenses, period.

    give rg3 some time. he's gonna be a star.

    So eli beats tom brady in the SB twice and now it means he's better? I guess cam beat rg3 in a boxing match, and rg3 beat cam in a game of "who can lead their team to the playoffs more". Like pokernut, you two made some asinine comments in this thread alone.

    No need to brownnose cam, rg3 had just as bad of a defense, and as of a matter of fact, the stats prove the Skins had a worse defense than the panthers...you were saying?

    Perhaps it's the SEC in me, but I'd take Cam Newton any day. Talent-wise I honestly think he is one of the top 10 or even 5 players that ever played college football. Who knows how many records and stats he could've amassed had he played 3 or 4 years at a premier school. I've been saying since they drafted him-give the Panthers a few years-give Cam some better playmaking receivers and a halfway decent defense and the Panthers will be in the playoffs. As long as RGIII stays healthy the sky is the limit for him as well. I just think Cam's passing abilities are better than RGIII's at the moment. It'll be fun to see how these two evolve in the next few years.

    Cam is the no brainer choice. RG3 will also have a sophmore slump no doubt once teams have more tape on him. Also he has shown he is injury prone as well.

    I'll take a 100% RG3 over a 100% Cam Newton any day. RG3 is a complete NFL Player. Cam is too busy playing Superman.

    You cant go wrong with either one of these guys they are both great QB's.

    I think both teams will be in the playoffs next season.
