Of those 3, I’d have to say Cam Newton

Pretty much an unstoppable force

I’m biased and would pick Vince Young, but I think Cam was better.

Tebow best overall.

Cam best single season.

Vince Young...LOL

Cam and it's not even remotely close. He dragged a roster full of 3*s to a ship.


My Auburn friend, are you forgetting about the wrecking ball Nick Fairley?

Honorable mentions: Mike Dyer and Ontario McCalebb.

Tebow.


A good choice if you never want to beat Auburn.

Definitely Cam considering the talent (or lack of) around him.

I'm sure going 0-1 against Auburn as a starter really eats him up.

I would be happy with any of the 3.

It seemed every girl crush on Teabow back then.

Better QB? Cam. I think Tebow left the bigger legacy, though.

Nothing wrong with picking Vince. What he did in the title game will always be remembered. I don't get the hate he receives.

Cam had the best single season of the three, Tebow had the best collegiate career of the three. I think VY is a tier right below both and not a factor. So it depends on what the specific criteria is.

That’s tough cam is the hardest to defend, but Tebow brings a lot of value to a team. Kinda like a really good point guard makes everyone around him better.

Well the little Ducks almost stopped him, so there's that.

66.1 QB rating in the Title game.
