    He averages 42.9 rushing yards per game, 33rd in the NFL of all players (1st in QBs) & has 5 rush TDs, tied for 3rd in the NFL (1st in QBs).

    Not to mention his receivers are Corey Brown, Ted Ginn, Jerricho Cotchery, & Funchness... who all are pretty average, besides Fuchness who has some upside.

    Oh yeah... his starting LT is Michael Oher.

    Cams a Top-10 QB EASILY, I don't know how anybody can argue he's not. Sure, his completion % isn't great and TD-INT ratio isn't the best, but he's literally the entire offense in Carolina.

    His completion percentage is just plain bad. Cam Newton has a slightly better chance of completing a pass than I have of calling a coin toss correctly.

    I love Cam Newton but I don't think he's top 10. Brees, Luck Roethlisberger, Brady, Rodgers, Rivers, Ryan, Romo, Manning, Manning.

    Cam somehow fits into my top 10, he can do things no other QB's can. Thats why he's called Killa Cam by some, he's literally too big to handle. And to make matters worse for opponents he's smart, he's not just some big physical freak, he's actually good and reading situations and making plays..

    The one thing I dont appreciate about him though is how he treats football like basketball and tries exaggerating hits he takes so he can get a flag drawn. Thats borderline cheating and definitely cheap bs. However the fact of the matter is those charades help his team, which is a good thing if he's your QB..

    I'm saying top 10 so far THIS season. This eliminates Ben, Luck and Romo just because they haven't played.

    I go:
    Brady
    Rodgers
    Palmer
    Dalton
    Newton
    Ryan
    Rivers
    Carr

    Not in any order and I can't really decide on how either Manning fits in this mix. It's been a strange first half.

    I don't consider him top 10 myself, but honestly I prefer to rank them in tiers, and the QBS are pretty interchangeable in their particular tier. Also, I don't go just based on this season. I'm sorry but there is no way to convince me that Andy Dalton is a top 5 QB in the league, which his numbers would suggest.

    Tier 1

    Peyton
    Brees
    Rodgers
    Brady
    Big Ben

    Tier 2

    Romo
    Rivers
    Ryan
    Palmer
    Wilson
    Eli

    Tier 3

    Luck
    Cam
    Stafford (regressing, may bump back to tier 4)
    Flacco

    Tier 4

    Cutler
    Dalton (improving may bump up to tier 3)
    Tannehill
    Smith
    Kaepernick

    Tier 5 (Rookie and 2nd year starting QBs)

    Mariota
    Winston
    Carr
    Bortles
    Bridgewater

    Tier 6

    Bradford
    RG3/Kirk Cousins/whatever scrub the deadskins have at QB
    Foles
    Fitzgerald
    Tyrod Taylor
    Brian Hoyer
    Josh McCown

    So Cam is just outside the top 10 for me. Right around the 12 or 13 range.

    ^ You need to go ahead and drop Kaepernick down to tier 6, he is awful
