As for Newton, lets look at him. 

He has never thrown under double digit INTs since entering the NFL.

He has a career completion percentage under 60%.

He had only one season where his QB rating was 90 or above.

Last year, he was one of the lowest ranked starting QBs in the NFL. 

Cam Newton is all hype. Running QBs come into the league, light it up for a season or two until opposing teams figure them out and it's all downhill from there. I want a pocket passer who can scan the field and find open receivers. This is "big boy" football. I am a firm believer that QBs throw and RBs run. Period. The only time a QB should ever run is when he is being chased out of the pocket.

How do you explain 4,000+ yards and 35 TDs in 2015 that earned him 48 NFL MVP votes? He was the only QB who threw for more yards than our guy Blake Bortles that year.

Also, Newton was drafted in 2011. That is a lot more than "a season or two."

Now look at two guys I named, Steve Young and Michael Vick. They had long careers as dual threat QBs.
