Did you read what I wrote? It had nothing to do with any of the other QBs in the 2013 class.
Also, to your assertion that a 1.1 QB must be ready to step in and make the players around him better from Day 1...
Not many guys like that between Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. I still maintain that Luck was so good and so ready that it is skewing many's expectations for a QB taken at 1.1.
That QB doesn't have to be perfect and ready to start Game 1. Look at the guys taken 1.1 at QB between Manning and Luck. There are a lot of guys in there who were not ready to do what you claim a 1.1 QB must do.
Newton is about the only one who started right away and was really good, and he's a really unique player. The other effective guys either took some time to get ready to start (Eli, Palmer, Vick). Most of the ones asked to start right away were terrible right away (Alex Smith, Carr, Couch, Stafford). Two of those guys eventually became better.
