Do explain. Besides Micheal Vick, most DL can run down any quarterback in this league. Cam Newton is physical, fast for a person his size, and has the body to handle an NFL hit. If anything, his style of play matches very well with NFL play. He's been working with a qb guru who's tutored Big Ben and received rave reviews.

Had LSU had a better QB, Auburn isn't playing for the title...
I'm not sure this is relevant to our conversation.

I'm thinking he translates to a Dante Culpepper with a higher football IQ.

Maybe a Tebow type, or a Big Ben, but I think Ben was a much better passer coming out wasn't he?

Comparable sized quarterbacks would be Daunte Culpepper, Ben Roethlisberger, Steve McNair; while they can take some hits, their size also makes them a big target, thereby easier to be hit; and as the hits mount, they will take their toll he will break down...

The LSU-Auburn game was about as close to the speed and style of play he will face in the NFL and with his style of play, he won't be able make those two-three same difference making plays in the NFL.

Let the Redskins draft him and you'll see.
