Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Kyle Orton all made it; Colt McCoy and Tebow had strong rookie years; a lot of people are high on Bradford.

Spread QBs can make it, Newton's bigger issue is the system he played in wasn't a particularly standard spread system. It was closer to Urban Meyer's system than Bob Stoops' pro spread.

Bress, Bradford and Ben R. played in 4 and 5 wr sets were the emphasis was throwing the ball downfield, not the type of spread that Florida, Aurburn and Texas run....where the QB is running just as much as he's passing. McCoy didn't play in a true forward pass type of offense. The jury is still out of Tebow and McCoy. Both guys have only played in a handful of games.

I remember watching Heath Shuler in college and he played in the same kind of offense that McCoy did and that's who McCoy reminds me of.

Your going to be wrong on Tebow, guy is a STAR in the making..

Cam is raw no doubt but he has all the tools to be like a "BIG BEN" type qb.

And thats a bush league excuse.. Spread is a spread.

Sam Bradford ran a SPREAD, also won a heisman and I think he turned out pretty good right?

So you think Bradford and Tebow ran similar offenses?

Didn't say that, Sam Passed much more and had more 5 wide sets.. Tim used his legs obviously and Fla ran the option..As for the spread offense, get used to it because most college teams run it now... Both Tim and Sam have bright futures in the NFL imo.
