Kaepernick gets more attention because of his dramatic arrival into the starting lineup and because he played for a dramatically better team, but Newton has been a better all-around player since Week 1 of his rookie season. They aren't similar quarterbacks in terms of style, but they are asked to do similar things. Physically, Newton is closer to Andrew Luck than he is to Kaepernick, while Kaepernick is actually a more accurate passer. However, when it comes to reading coverages, going through progressions and decision-making in the pocket, Newton is more advanced.

 

Even during one of Newton's worst games of the season, two weeks ago against Kaepernick's 49ers, he was still showing aspects of his game that simply aren't evident in Kaepernick's.

Talks about Kap's struggles first, Cam's part is the second half.  The whole thing is worth a read though, love articles like this.

Accuracy? Cam has no accuracy issues, just break downs in mechanics that lead to poor throws.

 

Yeah that's what they say:

 

He still misses throws at times, because his inconsistent footwork causes some passes to float over receivers, but he is currently the most refined dual-threat quarterback.

We've seen him going from 3 or 4 floater misfires a game to 1 or 2. One monday night, I think he just rushed because of how open Olsen was and his eyes got wise so he just launched it.

He's a tremendous player-and he still growing. The NFL should be afraid. Very afraid. Keep growing Cammo.

      Is this the lowest IQ “winning” team we’ve fielded?

      Agreed. I think he probably needs a long trek outside the south as a football player to potentially kick start his future. And that is still a long shot.
