I think you are warranted in saying that Cam is the best cfb player you've ever seen play. He is up there for me for sure. He was better than Tebow and Manziel, and before them, the closest comparison I can think of is Reggie Bush, and Cam was better than him.
Vince young was a better college qb than cam. It's close, and Vince's longevity helps his argument, but his performances in 2 rose bowls were legendary. I also think Reggie bush was a better college football player than cam. Cam no doubt is easily better than tebow or manziel. The other guy that's up there is Adrian Peterson

That's really your only argument, TBH.

Cam Newton had one of the best cfb seasons in history.
Vince Young's junior season was similar, albeit not quite as good, as Cam's one season at Auburn. Vince Young also had a great back half to his sophomore season, and, as our USC friend mentioned, a couple of legendary Rose Bowl performances. Cam, on the other hand, never had a Vince-esque bowl performance.
Tough call, really. I think Tebow and Frazier are also in this conversation.

Cam was a better QB no doubt. He was easily a better passer than Young. Cam had a very fluid arm delivery and could make ALL the throws - touch passes, deep balls, hot routes, etc. On top of that he could make ALL the runs. Seriously, Cam wasn't just some dude that took off when a play broke down. He was a fullback, edge sprinter and find the hole halfback all roled into one. If it was 3rd and less than five Cam was bringing it on a called run. The defense knew this and still couldn't stop him. Oh, and he made a few circus catches as well. Cam could literally do everything with the football and make it look easy.
I've got nothing against Young. I'm a die-hard Titans fan and cheered and pulled for him every step of the way. I even think the Titans could/should have done more to develop him. But the truth is Young was just a great athlete playing QB on a team with lots of talent. He had serious flaws in his mechanics and mental approach that were never going to classify him as elite.
