Winston's upside is significantly higher, IMO. You can scheme around some poor decisions and continue to hope that experience knocks some rough edges off. But with Newton you're dealing with a track record of injury, a guy nearing the downside of his athletic prime and a person who's simply never been as accurate in terms of ball placement as you'd like.

I'm operating under the assumption that either Newton or Winston would be stopgap measures.
I think Cam is most likely to be able to be dropped into most organizations and not cock everything up until they can find a viable solution.
Winston's got the advantages of being younger and less injury prone, but he's likely to trick some team into offering a multi-year deal after showing a bit of improvement. I don't trust him whatsoever.
