Why can't it be that he has serious issues? like he played in a spread offense, his accuracy is flawed (it comes and goes), etc.
its always race -
Sam Bradford played in a spread offense but I don't remember anyone questioning his readiness for the NFL

Sam Bradford Scouting Report
By Matt McGuire
Strengths:
Good size with room to add some bulk
Peyton Manning-like accuracy
Outstanding job of anticipating routes
Solid arm strength
Capable of making all the throws
Smooth, consistent spiral
Textbook footwork and can drop back if asked
Great decision-maker since freshman year
Understands timing
Well versed in progression reads
Experienced
Very quick release
Ridiculous level of production
Sells play action
Places ball in stride of receiver
Will step up in pocket
Decent athleticism
Throws pro routes and has been under center more than given credit for in career
Strong leader and good character
Weaknesses:
Toughness really hasn't been tested at this point in his career; never seen pass rush
Arm strength is good, but he will struggle to fit ball in tight windows if he doesn't make very quick decisions
We really do not know if he can make throws on the run yet
Doesn't make any jaw-dropping throws
Doesn't have Stafford/Sanchez level of upside
Is never really forced out of pocket
Summary: The statistics are there and he has operated in a pro-style offense as a freshman. He does throw pro routes, however, he WILL get nitpicked. Matt Leinart was nitpicked. Aaron Rodgers was nitpicked. Brady Quinn was nitpicked. Bradford won't have any challenges this season, so scouts and draftniks will find the flaws. Bradford is a top-20 pick, but don't be shocked if he doesn't go as high as we expect (Top 5) next April.
Player Comparison: Eli Manning. Like Eli, Bradford lacks the elite arm, but he is a superb decision-maker with great accuracy and decision-making. Both have limited upside. -
So Newton should be teh number 1 pick like Bradford and Alex Smith was..... he actually led his team to the national title

Because to be honest they ? on black qb's. Like I said in another thread if locker was black he'd get ? on. How many athletic black qb's have came out with the same athleticism that locker had and the same issues that he has and have been ? on. But because locker was so hyped coming into college and he's WHITE they won't let go of his jockstrap. You can tell how personal they take people considering cam to be good. Two things that annoy me the most in sports period as far as drafting is concerned: 1) The way they ? on black qb's 2) Every white boy with a jumper coming out of college is always bird, as if bird isn't one of the best players in the history of basketball
