"Count Panthers receiver Steve Smith among those who aren't fawning over Denver quarterback Tim Tebow.

While acknowledging Tebow's run of fourth-quarter comebacks, Smith said Thursday he would still take Panthers rookie Cam Newton over Tebow any day.

"You can't compare Cam to Tebow. I think Cam's a more complete player," Smith said. "Tebow has the wins. But everybody wants to crown Tebow. Yes, he has the will to win. I think Tebow is no different than any other professional. But Tebow has a great opportunity to play behind a great defense.""
