in 5 pages i'm sure it's been brought up...

Tebow had good character. Newton really doesn't... cept that he can be goofy/funny.

other than that, i don't care where this conversation goes... i'd rather have tebow on my team for absolute certain. that's not a hard decision.

I bet Meyer is really crying inside because he is 0-2 against Auburn, really tarnishes his 2-0 record in BCS Championship games.

About 3 more years and a sense of morality.

Last I heard, Tebow wasn't stealing shite, and his old man wasn't shopping him like some kind of pimp.

IOW Never. Tebow was a one off.

Tebow: free
Newton: $200,000

I say Tebow was the better deal for the money.

Cam may look better than Tim right now, but Tim in 4yrs never missed a game, had impeccable work ethic, and always gave 100%. He is also a guy who elevated everyone around him.

Cam is great, but you really cannot compare the two. Cam hasn't shown true leadership on adversity, not like Tim did. Cam is more physically gifted, truly a freak, since I consider Tebow a freak of nature.

I'm not comparing values, because I'm not able to judge character, that is for the man upstairs.

Opinions? Thoughts? Questions? Let's hear it... Of course I don't think Cam is anywhere near the complete football player Tim is.
I think it's pretty obvious who the better football player is.

Tim Tebow was fun to watch. He was energetic and had a nice jump pass. On 3rd-and-4, you knew he was going to run it at you... and he was going to get 5 yards. He threw the ball with the tip of the nose down, but it didn't matter because he was pretty accurate and had Percy Harvin catching for him.

Then you have Cam Newton... who is extremely fun to watch. He is very energetic. On 3rd-and-4, you're pretty sure he's going to run it at you... and then he runs it at you and around you for a 25-yard gain. Because of his unparalleled threat at running the ball, every team begins to cheat up with a nervous anxiety... then he either hands the ball to another RB around the side for 50 yards or he throws it, with nice touch and accuracy, for a first down.

Vince Young in the 2005 national title game is the only other player I've ever seen take over a game in multiple ways as Cam Newton has this year.

It's a little much to say cam newton doesn't have character. I would 100% rather play with cam newton than tim tebow and id rather have him on my team too.

When Cam has won 2 NC's for Auburn, then I will say he is on equal footing with Tebow.

I think it is more of a rational, way too early for this type of talk group against everyone else. You are talking about play from 10 games compared to a guy that won 2 national titles, 2 SEC titles and every other award known to man.

Newton could very well not win another game this year, then all of this talk looks ridiculous. It is a lot easier to make a comparison when one guy's career is not yet over.

Not to mention one thing Newton won't be able to touch is Tebow's consistency. Tebow was around for so long and sustained his play at a high level for so long. This could be nothing but a one time thing for Newton.


You can only judge based on what they have done so far. There is no chance AU is undefeated right now if Tebow is our QB. Tebow lost four games his first year with a better supporting cast.

Cam is good, but he is not TT. Tebow just dominated and willed his team. Cam won't be able to do much if someone finds a way to stop him.

What adversity did Tebow face? Losing to a four loss Ole Miss team at home? I hope Cam never has to face that kind of "adversity". If Cam comes through all this mud slinging and baseless accusations and leads AU to an SEC Championship this isn't even an argument anymore.

Hahahah, is this a real argument? Seriously, wtf? By the way nobody has found a way yet, plenty found a way to stop Tebow.
