They aren't even close to being the same level when it comes to the secondary aspects (intellect, poise, accuracy)

How can the above statement be seen as anything other then outlandish? Especially in light of Cam's rookie season and the fact that the player you are comparing to is a prospect (i.e. not even in the league yet).

Cam is much more likely to take off running than RGIII is. Yes, I live in NC and I'm forced to watch Panther games.

Yeah, I agree that you shouldn't cover the intelligence part because it nonsense to think you can measure Cam's intelligence and everything about Cam's success at Blinn, Auburn and in the NFL (with no off season) suggest that Cam at a minimum has great football intelligence.
You need to distinguish between called/designed runs vs. impromptu runs.
If you take away the Panthers designed QB runs Cam rarely takes off running without a good reason and when he does he's pretty much gonna get convert for a 1st down (which extends the drive).
Cam and Griffin are very much alike in the fact that many people wrongly consider them run first QBs.

Maybe in the eyes of the same media that tried to convince you last year that Gabbert was as good if not a better QB prospect then Newton.
But, it seems patently obvious that the sports media evaluation of Cam Newton was wrong.
Cam was drafted No.1 and Cam had one of the best rookie season by a QB
ever.
If Cam came out this year I would have him as the #1 QB prospect, Griffin #2 and Luck #3.
If you think Griffin is way ahead of Newton then why don't you expect similar production?
