Question:

Do you think Luck is gonna have as good a rookie year as Newton?

No. Cam's rookie season stats wise was nothing short of a virtuoso performance. I can only compare it to the way Big Ben hit the scene. I think Griffin will have the better rookie season but the three of these guys will be NFL faces for their careers. My predictions for rookie seasons:

Luck 3,300 yards 20 TDs 14 Ints 3 rush TDs (5-11)
Griffin 3,500 yards 20 TDs 12 Ints 7 rush TDs (9-7)

Griffin, as with Newton will have the better supporting cast but neither will hit Newton's 4,000 rookie record.
