Andrew Luck or Cam Newton Who would you rather have?

Complex · 10-23-2011, 11:03 PM

Its seems like a lot of people think that Andrew Luck is a football god. Who will step into the NFL and dominate the minute he steps onto the football field and Cam Newton has been playing great so far. So the question is who would you rather have leading your team for the next 10 to 15 year Andrew Luck or Cam Newton?

This one should be good.

Basileus777 · 10-23-2011, 11:07 PM

At this point Luck would be the riskier choice. I've seen enough of Newton in these 7 games to believe that he will be a legitimate NFL QB, while Luck has never played a down in the NFL.

If you could take Newton with what you've seen of him so far or Andrew Luck after not having played a single NFL game, which would you take? Roll of the dice right there. That's basically what this poll is asking. Tricky tricky.

I'm taking Newton because I think he has a higher upside and has actually shown a potential to reach it.

CashmoneyDrew · 10-23-2011, 11:10 PM

I'm a gambler by nature, so I'm rolling with Luck.

Kind of an unfair question don't you think? Right now it should be obvious that it's Cam Newton. He's played in the pros and is playing very well for a rookie.

DanZilla · 10-23-2011, 11:25 PM

As of now, Cam Newton because 1) is already in the league and 2) has shown he can compete in the pro league.

I expect this to be a 5 page thread when i wake up.

badgerbacker · 10-24-2011, 12:07 AM

I don't know which will be more successful, but I would rather have Andrew Luck. I like his upside a lot, but the main reason I would rather have him on my team is because he is a person I want to root for. I can't explain why, but I just don't like Newton.

You know who Cam Newton reminds me of?

yo123 · 10-24-2011, 12:11 AM

You're right they are both african american.

Basileus777 · 10-24-2011, 12:11 AM

Newton isn't really anything like Vince Young other than being a tall black QB who can run. Cam's a power thrower who actually looks downfield in the pocket and is hard to take down, someone like Big Ben is a better comparison.

Newton can actually pass the football from the pocket though.

kalbears13 · 10-24-2011, 12:19 AM

I think we can all agree that we would rather have Andrew Luck over Tim Tebow.

Cam Newton winning percentage as a starter in 2011= .286

Tim Tebow winning percentage as a starter in 2011= 1.000

Therefore Andrew Luck > Cam Newton. QED, *****.

niel89 · 10-24-2011, 12:25 AM

I take Luck because I think he is gonna be a better player. I think with Luck you are going to be able have a more complex offense and he will be able to do more for your team. Even if Cam had been at a major college for 4 years he still wouldn't be able to process the amount that Luck does. Newton is playing well, but there is still plenty of time for him to flame out. I had legit concerns about Newtons attitude and character, and 7 weeks doesn't completely erase those doubts.

Good question.

I completely agree. In all honesty though the best quarterbacks in the league right now are the ones that can make those pre and post snap reads and also make an accurate throw. If you think in this capacity then Andrew Luck does have more "potential". I honestly don't see Cam Newton getting to that elite status.

Ness · 10-24-2011, 12:29 AM

Well there is also plenty of room for Newton to get better. We may have not seen Newton's best football yet and what he is capable of doing. Especially since the Panthers still have a lot of personnel from that team a season ago.

49erNation85 · 10-24-2011, 12:30 AM

I would rather take this guy.

RaiderNation · 10-24-2011, 12:30 AM

Really hard decision here, went with Newton just because he has shown he has the raw talent to be a star in the NFL. If I were to say who will have more rings at the end of their career, I would go with Luck since the athletic QB's like Newton have never won it all.

Ness · 10-24-2011, 12:31 AM

Man I am so sick of hearing about Tim Tebow. That's nothing against Tim himself, it's just the media needs to get the hell off of his jock. The Broncos aren't that interesting at this point in time. And neither is Tebow. If he was lighting it up, sure, but he's not.

yo123 · 10-24-2011, 12:31 AM

This poll is really close as it should be. Newton has obviously proven more as of now but this is a pocket passing league, and I think Luck is more advanced in that part of the game. It took me a while to choose but I think Luck can be the next Peyton Manning so it's hard to vote against that.

HA sorry Ness.It is the way the ball rolls man.I think he will get to be a good passer.That lock out just really held him back this year. And yes I agree that the media is all over his balls to much lately.

Real men cry kalBears.It is all from his heart man.You may mock but you would never cry on live TV
