Message: [QUOTE="CIL, post: 2251346, member: 22"] Nah - they are pretty much the same player. You pretty much summed it up with your completion percentage. You want to bring rushing into this? McNabb has a higher yards per carry than Newton by almost half of a yard. You one could argue that Newton's rushing TDs are of the short yardage, goal line variety... I think mcNabb went to what, 6 Pro Bowls or something? I think Newton is a great player, this isn't about bringing Cam down at all. Donovan started his career in 99...the game has changed exponentially in the last 10 years or so, towards the end of Donovan's career. In 2007 there were 7 QB's that threw for over 4000 yards. Last year there were 14! I am not trying to compare Donovan to Peyton, who is arguably the greatest QB to ever live. I think had Donovan come into the league a decade later, those passing numbers would be far greater. My god, just an average NFL QB is throwing for 4000 yards and 30 TDs now. [/QUOTE]
