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.

Steve Young was a pocket passer.  He was athletic, very athletic, but not a "dual threat" QB.  

Newton is a physical freak.  OTOH, Jackson is a heck of an athlete who is a level above his competition in that regard.  Won't be that way in the NFL.

Look up any top 10 list of all-time great "dual threat" quarterbacks and Steve Young will be near the top of that list. Being a scrambler was very much his aura while he was playing. Jackson is also a physical freak in terms of athleticism, arguably moreso than RG3. He will certainly be a level above in terms of athleticism compared to most of the NFL.
