I've watched CFB for 10 years, and I take Vince Young over and over again. Cam is great, but... I saw Vince go for 467 total yards against the "Greatest Team EVER." Best performance I ever saw (along with Bron's 25 straight). I gotta go with Vince.
Tim Tebow was a leader and played at a high level for 4 years. Newton has had one great season. Tebow helped Florida win 2 National Titles. Newton has yet to do that (but he might win one with AU this year).
Tebow > Newton from a career perspective.
Perhaps our question should be this:
Who is the better Auburn legend? Bo Jackson or Cam Newton?
For a single season, Cam Newton was the better player. Tebow's best season individually resulted in UF losing 4 games.
For an entire career, Tebow gets the nod. Two national titles, and Newton wasn't good enough to get Tebow off the field in '07 or '08.
I was wrong about Newton....no way in hell did I expect him to dominate like he did this season. We'll be talking about his performance in the Bama game for the next 50 years.
I'm 34, so yes I do remember Herschel. When I consider the team around him, and when Cam comes in and just dominates and there's no answer for him, then I put him above Herschel.
