Don't understand the Newton thing. The kid only played one season and seems to have a pattern of having things handed to him on a silver platter, not to mention being of questionable character. I know you can say the same thing about Big Ben, but his thing is centered around sex. Cam seems to have been protected in college from getting nailed from a lot of garbage, and once he comes to the NFL, I doubt he is going to enjoy the same preferrential treatment. He is a gifted talent, but he might be like a lot of folks say, another Vince Young. Locker still has never impressed me about being a first round pick at QB, unless one is totally desperate. His bowl game against Nebraska was a case in point. He won it with his running alone, while his passing game sucked. Threw a lot of floaters also. The TV announcers were really talking him up like he was a real stud, but I have never seen it, even last year, I never saw him as being as good as advertised. I say Mallet or Gabbert, and to be honest I lean toward Gabbert.
