ben however was much more polished being a 3 year starter in the MAC conference, not that the competition int he MAC is great but he was a man among boys and dominated (similar to newton in junior college)
the thing ben and newton have against them as prospects is footwork, but ben was much better throwing on the run outside of the pocket and his touch was better...the thing that really separates ben is his ability to go through his progressions, by all means as a rookie it was 1, 2, and throw...newtons with probably be 1, maybe 2 and run which isnt a good way to develop him because hes too big to be a "running QB" it just wont work like it did in college.
if anyone is this years tebow, its kaepernick imo
