First of all Cam Newton was a 4 star out of Atlanta and ended up at Florida out of high school ... he had his laptop incident at UF and ended up at Blinn CC before going to Auburn where he was expected to start ... I know guys at Auburn .. the question wasn't if Newton would start it was who would back him up, not sure where you got that.  Second of all while Manziel was only a 3 star he was ranked 22nd overall or in that range by most services.  Second of all the coaches at each respective institution (TCU/SU) will play a major role in how they develop and even if Wilson or Kimble end up being "better" down the road doesn't mean that Allen couldn't have been better than either of them at SU had he gone down that road. 
 
All of this is mere conjecture ... I'm thrilled to have the kids we have and I want players who want to be at SU ... but Manziel and Newton have no bearing on this discussion whatsoever ... GA football is not that much unlike Texas football ... again has no bearing on this discussion anyway.  Is TX ball a higher level than Illinois ball?  Absolutely ... but we did just fine with our last Illinois QB so I'll be happy to cheer on Kimble on Saturdays and FWIW PA has churned out a fair share of fantastic QBs.
