Sell...take away his game vs a high school team...and he has 4 TDs and 3 Ints....with barely over 50% completion....the smoke and mirrors are gone...he can't make a throw down the field yet...not into coverage anyway....just like our QBs....
Don't think it would have mattered for LSU since the'd still have had an average starting field position around the 40 to 50. Although, if having Newton allowed Mullen to bring Relf in and run the **** out of him, maybe that would have been enough.
