Which one do you take?

Seems like luck is more of an injury risk than Cam.

Depends on the other talent on the team. Probably Luck though, but Cam is gaining ground quickly; or luck is losing ground; or both.

I've got to hear Vlads expert opinion before I can chime in.

Luck

And I'd be willing to wager thay every single GM would say the same

Luck has a lot more long term upside

I have to lean Cam.

He is a #1 overall pick for a reason.....And he`s living up to expectations....5th full season and he`s in the super bowl and he will probably win it.

He also has a college championship under his belt....Sky`s the limit for this guy at only 26.

If my team has good WR's, and a decent OL, and needs a QB to complete it, I take Luck. If my team has crap WR's, and really isn't a solid team Offensively, I take Cam. Luck can probably do more with more, Cam can do more with less.

What amazes me about Cam is I don't think he has that good of a supporting cast. He somehow just wins...and this dates back to college

It has to be Newton. Minus the whole pre-frontal thing he is the better player.

My thoughts as well

I always like taking a later round QB so I would probably take Luck. Cam will probably go high in the draft

Ive supported & defended Cam Newton & even have a thread hinting that he'll be the best black NFL qb ever when his career is over.

But so far his career has been too sporadic to take him high.

Ive had both guys in fantasy the last 2 years when they were down.

Cam in 2014, and Luck this year, and I'd rather take my chances on Andrew bouncing back in 2016 vs Cam putting up 2 fantastic seasons in a row...

I doubt very much Luck could do what Newton did this year...There is a reason Newton is getting the MVP this year.. Luck has slid down and out of my top 5 QB's.. probably should never have been in it to begin with..Luck has been labeled great without doing anything great... I don't even like Newton but will give him his due after a great year...

If you want to talk about greatness......

The honest answer is.......

Neither of these guys have proven yet that they can piss a drop.

I don't think Newton has to be "fantastic" to be better then Luck.

I think it's funny a lot of people are writing off Luck after one bad year. Especially when he was injured the whole time.


A lot of guys in here are going to have to eat their own words.
