Which past or present pro QBs would you compare these top college QBs to, in terms of Lutheir style of play? Remember I'm just trying to get a feel for their styles so please don't go nuts comparing stats and stuff.

Mallett = Drew Bledsoe (someone mentioned)
Newton = Daunte Culpepper (first one came to my mind)
Locker = Tebow? Losman? (runs all the time, good arm, average accuracy)
Luck = ?

Who else?

Newton = Josh Freeman
Locker reminds me of Vick. A ton of athletic abilty, strong arm, great runner, but horrible thrower at times. Decision making is also not his best suit at this point.
Mallett reminds me of Bledsoe too. A big, slow pocket passer who has cement shoes.
Luck is comparable to Matt Ryan, possibly even Peyton Manning if you want to go that far.

I don't follow college football much, but after hearing all the hype on Luck I decided to do some scouting on my own.

Holy crap he's even better than his reputation.

I can't wait to see him play in the bowl game tonight.

Really?

I don't know college ball that much so please enlighten me. From what I have seen Newton is a big armed big bodied mobile QB. How is he different from Culpepper or McNabb?

You will hear people call Mallett = Leaf which I think is a bit unfair.

I don't know where I would put Gabbert... possibly Gabbert = Roeth without the off the field troubles.
