A: Why was Newton a crappy theologian?
Despite all the effort, he didn't exactly set the world of theology afire.

B Was it because all theologians are crappy
No. Peter Ablelard, Thomas Aquinus, Erasmus

C: or are you saying he was a crappy theologian because he was famous for the Calculus?
Yes. It's surprising (or perhaps not) how infrequently "Isaac Newton" is included to B above: Name three important second millenium theologians.
