Everyone seems to forget the records Cam has set.. I mean seriously, nobody in the ENTIRE history of the NFL has done the things he's done.

Tom Brady is probably the worst athlete to ever start at quarterback. That should tell you how much value I put into being "athletic".

Brady played football, basketball, and baseball in high school and got drafted by both MLB and the NFL.

Now Manning on the other hand, that's about as unathletic as you can get

not counting receiving yards, Cam is ahead of Kordell Stewart at similar stages in their careers, and Kordell Stewart was probably the most athletic QB to ever play in his time...

Kordell Stewart (at end of 2001 season)

1,941 pass attempts for 12,173 passing yds

453 rush attempts for 2,370 rushing yds

41 receptions for 658 receiving yds

Cam Newton (current)

1,876 pass attempts for 14,111 passing yds

449 rush attempts for 2,457 rushing yds

1 reception for 33 yds

We are never tired of such bullshit debate, right?

Different era: But Randall Cunningham was fun to watch. Exciting and very athletic. Sucks he was a stank-ass Eagle though! In todays league, I would still pick him over Vick, or 8ball anyday.

Vick wasn't a great athlete. He was fast as poo. That's it. He was tiny and made of glass. Vick was just a slightly faster version of RG3.

Cam Newton & John Elway are the best athletes I've ever seen play QB.

You must not have watched his early years or when he was at Virginia Tech. As much as I hated him in Atlanta (being a panther fan and a hokie fan) he brought excitement and that "it factor" to games.

Sure he wasnt always the most accurate, but he had a CANON for a arm especially early on. He carried that Atlanta team to the playoffs up in GB and can't remember but they were the first ones to beat GB in GB in the playoffs in YEARS. To say he wasnt an athlete or athletic is bit of a stretch....
