Hell yes it does.
No, it really shouldnt. Newton is by far the better QB.

and? He plays for Wash. with next to no talent and he was hurt most of the year.
Wrong. Chris Polk is as legit as a RB you'll find and he has Kearse at WR, an NFL talent next year. It's not like Newton stepped into a powerhouse at Auburn, they lost 5 games last year.
There is no excuse for how poorly Locker played this year and is why no one is talking about him anymore. He should of declared last year when some team would of been dumb enough to take him in the Top 10/15. Good chance he'll fall out the 1st round now. Locker is a nothing at QB without his running ability and he cant run around all the time in the NFL. He isn't starting material by any means in the NFL. Newton is, he can throw the ball very well.
You know what QBs had a higher QB rating than Locker this year? Remember that terrible MSU QB a few years ago who threw like 5 or 6 picks against LSU? Wesley Carroll? He had a higher QB rating than him this year at FIU. Matt Simms, the former starter at Tennessee who was beat out by a true freshman later in the year...higher QB rating this year than Jake Locker.
There is zero excuse for the poor display Locker put on this year, his last year, his 4th year starting (did miss a lot his sophomore year).

you seen alot of him? I disagree.
Yes I have, he's terribly inaccurate. 54% career completion % is pretty terrible for a supposed "top QB".
quote:
in you opinion.
Cam Newton - #1 QB Rating in NCAA
Jake Locker - #69 QB Rating in NCAA
On top of that it's clear to any level headed person watching the two Newton is miles ahead of Locker throwing the football in any aspect. Power, accuracy, etc...

based on what? Why is he better?

agreed I was talking more about o.line/ WR's.
quote:

true but when Kearse was being covered by a good CB he went cold. (see Nebraska game)

I'd take Dyer and Adams over Polk and kearse all day every day.
Also Auburn's Offense as a whole is better.

Injuries aren't good reasons?
quote:

plenty of people are just not as the top qb.
quote:

couldn't disagree more. I still think he will go in the 1st as does every mock draft.
quote:

either you haven't watched him or you have a serious grudge against him.
quote:
He isn't starting material by any means in the NFL.
same thing people said about Tebow and Mccoy.
quote:

He played hurt this year and he really shouldn't have.

doesn't take dropped passes into account and other factors. I'm not a Big stats guy but I agree the stats are concerning.

Geez you really hate Locker. Agree to disagree.

Washington's offensive line is horrible and gave locker no time to throw. An NFL QB is about passing and having an IQ to understand the game.
To say Newton will be drafted higher is one thing, but to say he will produce way better than Locker is insane.
