Big Ben and Troy Polamalu. Ben only needs to play 4th quarter and we win every game.

Michael Vick accurate?

Where do you guys come up with this stuff?

Mike Vick's accuracy is good compared to who? Mark Sanchez? I lol'd at this.

62.6 % is his career high and that was last year in his "career year". He's never thrown above 60% any other time in his career.

You guys realize that ND is a pass first system. That means you want a QB who can run not a running QB. Asking for Cam Newton really makes no sense in this offense. Why not Darren Thomas of Oregon for that matter?

Aaron Rodgers would be the guy

Cam Newton is a pass first QB. Having him as an added running weapon outweigh's Rodgers ability to throw the ball. Have you watched Cam Newton play at all this season?

Comparing Darron Thomas to Cam Newton, really?

IF he had a okay Oline and his receivers didnt drop everything thrown there way it would be much higher. Desean Jackson had the highest drop rate in the league last year and Maclin wasnt much better

He does complete a lot of simple throws though you must admit. I still wouldn't think he would have elite accuracy no matter what the case maybe. Sorry if it sounded like I attacked you every time I read something I write on the internet always makes me sound like an a-hole.

No Problem. Iv'e watched every snap of his this year and his accuracy keeps improving but this year he is on the run so much that he's usually off balance. Of his 4 picks in Buffalo only one was close to being his fault.

Yes they run a simplified offense with 2 throwing options. If neither is open, run.

Are you at all skeptical of his ability to succeed in the NFL?

Obviously it's working he is still only a rookie. He has thrown for 400 yards a couple of times this season. I know defense's are worse than ever but its still impressive.

Since this NFL season is nearing half over, I'd wait till next year and add Andrew Luck and Manti Te'o.

We are all naming superstars, but you could literally put any QB that is on any NFL roster on this years ND team and they are 7-0. PERIOD

Cam Newton 2011 Stats:
152-252 for 60.3% completion %, 2,103 yds 8 TDs 9 INTs QB Rating of 82.8

Aaron Rodger 2011 Stats:
171-239 for 71.5% completion %, 2,372 yds 20 TDs 3 INTs QB Rating of 125.7

Aaron Rodgers is a touchdown maker.

Also note that Cam's completion % is right at 60%, something you were knocking Vick for...

Note Cam Newton is a rookie, Michael Vick is not. Michael Vick's first full season as a starter his completion % was 54.9% in 8 games his rookie year it was 44.2%.

Your correct that Aaron Rodgers is a more complete passer there is absolutely no doubt about that. Cam Newton also has 7 rushing touchdowns this season. I realize Rodgers is mobile but no where near as mobile as Newton.

Fair points.

I just refuse to believe Newton will be a success, because like you, I cannot stand him.

Dude I'm the same exact way. To put this as simply as possible the guy just has "IT". He's very exciting to watch but I don't like him.

Adrian Peterson and Mike Vick

We would be SCARY in the spread. I would say an average of 50 a game :)

Off: Aaron Rodgers

Def: Jason Pierre-Paul -Any Giants fans out there know this guy is already an absolute beast on the edge of a defense and has hardly scratched the surface of his potential.

Anybody watch the game last night and still think there is a more talented/higher upside defensive player in the NLF than this cat right here? 2 sacks, a safety, forced fumble that he came all the way down the line to force, blocked game tying FG attempt, 1 on 1 open field tackle on Felix Jones. He's a complete game changer.

Oh and the guy's 6'5 280 lbs and can do this. Claims he can do 23 in a row.
