Griffin shows his smarts

Luck is a very good athlete in his own right, but Cam is a specimen like I've never seen.
The kid threw a jump pass for 40+ yards in the air on the money, he's thrown off his back foot for 50 yard bombs.
Cam's arm talent is on a whole other level then Luck.

Maybe Cam wasn't the best comparison. Still it doesn't change the fact, Luck has been deemed by multiple talent evaluators to be the best QB prospect since John Elway.

Also I don't know why you would hold not winning a national championship against him considering how crooked the BCS system is. I mean consider that Vince Young, Tim Tebow, and Matt Leinart also won it.

Well Cam Newton had a better rookie year then Elway's rookie year. Cam threw for 4,0510 yards and scored an amazing 35 TD's in his rookie year and rushed 706 yards averaging 5.6 yards a carry. Those are insane rookie numbers, better then Elway's. I guess that would make Cam Newton a better pro prospect then Elway.?.? Kidding.

We're talking pre-draft evaluations. How scouts view them coming into the draft. Once they take the field they're no longer draft prospects.

I think its fair to say that evaluators are often wrong.
And thankfully for the Panthers their talent evaluators were right.
I think Cam proved many of the pre-draft evaluations wrong.

Of course they're often wrong, but on draft day they're kind of the only thing that matters.

Yeah, maybe Cam wasn't the best comparison.
I was responding to your comparison between Luck and Cam.
The rest of your post has nothing to do with me, I'm not making the points you address.
