Newton is by far the better QB.
based on what? Why is he better?
quote:
Chris Polk is as legit as a RB you'll find
agreed I was talking more about o.line/ WR's.
quote:
he has Kearse at WR, an NFL talent next year
true but when Kearse was being covered by a good CB he went cold. (see Nebraska game)
quote:
It's not like Newton stepped into a powerhouse at Auburn, they lost 5 games last year.
I'd take Dyer and Adams over Polk and kearse all day every day.
Also Auburn's Offense as a whole is better.
quote:
There is no excuse for how poorly Locker played this year
Injuries aren't good reasons?
quote:
no one is talking about him anymore.
plenty of people are just not as the top qb.
quote:
Good chance he'll fall out the 1st round now.
couldn't disagree more. I still think he will go in the 1st as does every mock draft.
quote:
Locker is a nothing at QB without his running ability
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:
You know what QBs had a higher QB rating than Locker this year?
He played hurt this year and he really shouldn't have.
quote:
54% career completion % is pretty terrible for a supposed "top QB".
doesn't take dropped passes into account and other factors. I'm not a Big stats guy but I agree the stats are concerning.
quote:
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.
Geez you really hate Locker. Agree to disagree.

I've explained this a bunch of times, keep up. Plus, any half wit can tell Newton is by far better by watching the two play.
quote:

And Darvin Adams didn't? Adams and Kearse had similar seasons, actually Kearse slightly better. Don't see a difference in the 2. Adams did nothing against good corners.
quote:

I wouldn't. I don't really see a difference in the combo. Kearse and Polk are easily as good as Adams and Dyer. All numbers together they look very similar as well.
quote:
Also Auburn's Offense as a whole is better.
Mostly because Newton is by far a better QB.
quote:
Injuries aren't good reasons?
He's had excuses for everything throughout his career. He just isn't very good. Why do you think he dropped from just about everyone's #1 overall player at the beginning of the season clear out of everyone's Top 10/15?
quote:

Where? I havent heard about him since the beginning of the season.
quote:
couldn't disagree more. I still think he will go in the 1st as does every mock draft.
With the season he had there's a good chance. He started so high on everyone's board he may not. But he's FAR from being a Top 10/15 pick everyone seemed to think he was pre-season.
quote:
either you haven't watched him or you have a serious grudge against him.
Neither. I have watched him and he just isn't a very good passer. FIFTY-FOUR percent career completion as a 4-year starter. Never above 60% in any one season. There's no way of explaining that as anything but pretty bad.
quote:
same thing people said about Tebow and Mccoy.
You just listed 2 QBs that were way better in college than Locker has been.
quote:
oesn't take dropped passes into account and other factors
Every QB deals with drops. The "other factors" are he's just not very accurate.
quote:
Geez you really hate Locker. Agree to disagree.
Stating facts is not hating anything. Fact is Newton stats wise was WAY better and clearly by watching the two Newton is a superior passer as well as runner.
