One of my coworkers raised the question earlier today.

While this is kinda like comparing apples to oranges, I can’t say Burrow has completely carried LSU like Cam did that Auburn team. Obviously a much better passer, but is he a better playmaker than Cam was in 2010?

I'd take him over Newton. I bet Burrow would fall on a fumble.

Passing yes, running no.

Of course, silly question.

Cam was a running back in reality

Burrow is more skilled at playing QB than Newton.

Burrow does not have the same impact on his team as Newton did.

LSU without burrow is probably still a 10 win team. 2010 Auburn without Newton is probably an 8 win team.

What is your particular metric for "better"?

So for a quarterback, which one would be more important?

But the Rant tells me every day that LSU would have 4 losses without Burrow.

Depends on the team. Clearly a running QB would be better for somebody like Gus.

Burrow is a better QB, Newton a better overall athlete.

I'd take Burrow on my football team but Newton in a decathlon.

Are we? If we had some of your QBs maybe not.

I don't think Cam Newton had one teammate on the 2010 team that gained a single yard in the NFL.
