[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]Last but not least Flacco was born in New Jersey. [/QUOTE]

I F*cking knew there was always a serious reason why I hated Joe Flacco. That's it.

[QUOTE="ice144"]People can't possibly be voting for newton already.[/QUOTE] Why not the remaining group doesn't have a resume or credentials that justify not putting some faith into newton?

Vick? He has one great passing year under his belt, and more often than not he's a liability because of his injuries recently.
Ryan? As in the dome QB who's not all that good on the road, who's been flat in the playoffs, and has historically been inferior when his running game isn't a major contributor?
Flacco? The end, he's Joe Flacco.

For a rookie Newton was pretty much lights out in the yardage department, and he's a defensive nightmare waiting to happen if he ever gets the other nuances of the passing game down(his foot work, his decision making, better reads, knowing when and when not to fast ball it). His upside just looks brighter at this point. Sure he's just as likely to have a sophmore slump(ala Sam Bradford who also had a pretty respectable rookie year the year before), but right now Newton comes with some serious promise.
