Twitter: Colin Cowherd: Dak Prescott is a better QB than Cam Newton (video)

[Ranching]

Jeff George had one of the strongest "NFL arms" ever, and he was average.

Brady was this:

What's between the ears means everything, and that's where Dak excels.

Lol, if we play them in the SB, someone needs to make a giant poster of this picture and hold it up at the game.

 

[erod]

No he's not, but he will be soon.

 

[theebs]

Didn't this guy call him a tight at best a few months ago?

 

[drawandstrike]

It's so much more than actual talent. Leadership quality, the ability to adapt, overall intelligence.....the list goes on. There have been a LOT of really good QBs that just didn't have any leadership qualities but have immense overall talent. By the same token, there have been some average talented QBs who had tremendous leadership qualities. Dak has "it" all. You know it when you see it, at least I do.

Vince Young comes to mind. All the tools....but no work ethic. Too much time hanging out in the clubs until 4 am.

Young lacked maturity, he came out a year early for the money when he needed to stay the extra year in college to continue to develop and mature

Cam is so disappointing. He has all the tools and I really thought he turned a corner last year.

I did too but the spotlight is more important to him than winning.

I was really rooting for him. Loved him at Texas, that nat'l championship game with USC might never be topped.

And then once he was in the NFL, I could see he just didn't have the desire to work hard. Very definitely a maturity issue.

Just imagine how good we'd be with Wentz...

our interceptions would definately be up

I'm a big Longhorns fan and loved Young at Texas but I said when he declared for the draft that it was a mistake. The lure of the money is great but I think sometimes especially with QB, staying the extra year to continue developing and maturing not only as a QB but as a person and a leader is needed.

 

[Proximo]

Dak's intangibles give him the edge over Cam, IMO.

Yes, Cam's got the athleticism/physical tools, but it's not enough to cancel out what Dak has in the way of leadership, poise, etc.

 

[haleyrules]

Newton is a frontrunner and a showboat. Prescott is the exact opposite. Solid and hardworking with a high football IQ.

I bet he regrets that one and has tried to buy up all the negatives and pictures!!

 

[Go Big D!]

Dak definitely has him beat in the smarts department and dresses better too lol

 

[GIFTS86]

I was really rooting for Cam coming out of his breakout year last year. He's regressed, and it's undeniable. He doesn't seem to be having fun anymore, G.

Exactly he isn't having fun like last season. And that shows alot to me. Overcoming adversity seems to be a issue lol love it.

Not that we didn't already know this...

This is why I like Colin. He speaks a universal language.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Colin jumping on the bandwagon.

Colin has always spoke truth to power. That's why people hate him. I don't agree with him all the time but most times I do. I like the way he makes practical applications with sports and everyday life.

Plus, he was drafted to the wrong team with the wrong head coach.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Physically, he isn't. But in every other attribute that makes a QB "good", Dak has him beat and it isn't even close.

True. Cam has every physical attribute you soul want in a QB ...size, height, arm strenght, speed. But he's mentally weak.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Duh.....

All run first QB's eventually fail. Most of them come into the league having the number D and a dominant running game (them being a big part of that). Their consistently gets them the ball back good/great field position partly due to high # of takeaways. The problem with the Vicks, Cams, Kluckernicks and Youngs are is they have excelled all their football lives without ever having to be a real QB. Throw Tebow into that group as well. When you are the best athlete on the field Pee Wee through college your coach is under no obligation to get you ready to be an NFL style pocket QB. That coaches job is to win, no matter what, QB fundamentals be damned. It takes thousands and thousands of repetitions, if not hundreds of thousands going through drop backs, progressions, reading the defense, etc, etc that run first QB's never get. By the time you get to the NFL it's way too late. These guys have zero pocket presence or QB instincts which is huge reason why most running QB's are always sacked the most. These guys are vicinity passers who end up killing a lot of worms throwing balls at the receivers feet. Just like Jordan couldn't hit major league pitching while trying to take up baseball at 30 years old, learning from scratch how to be an NFL pocket passing QB won't happen once you are in the league.
