I have lately been hearing and reading mulitple comments(not on here) that attack Newton's inteligence and not just his football smarts either.

I have heard people call the kid stupid with things like "he probably couldn't count the money he got at Auburn" and other things. I know most of them are just sheer stupidity coming from divison rivals, read the comments on any NFCS blog post about Cam on espn and you'll see that.

What disturbs me is the ammount of these comments I'm hearing from Panther fans on the street.

Where are they getting this idea that Cam has no brain.

:cam:

u mad?

He's done some pretty fuging stupid things. Like buying a previously stolen laptop, then throwing it out the window when the cops got there.. Also getting caught cheating twice is pretty hard to do, especially when you're a football player at Florida.

That being said, all of this is done off the football field, and it's never affected his performance so I could care less.

This. He has made some dumb decisions. Some think it was just him being young, others use it to say he's dumb

I can understand the whole Florida thing with the laptops. Everyone has a dumb moment in their life at some point with some being worse then others, but to attack a kid like i've been hearing latley...man people are harsh.

What I'm saying is these people think it's to the level where he doesn't know 2+2...

it equals 5 of course :D

I think it has a lot to do with the way he speaks. He uses some slang. Says things like "cammy cam juice". Just because he doesn't speak like brady or manning doesn't mean he's dumb though. I never heard anything about his wonderlic anyone know how he scored?

Wow....only took 4 posts for some fuging idiot to play the race card. Thanks for not letting any of us down.

The major questions around his intellingence are probably related to:

1. Getting caught cheating multiple time....not that big of a deal to me.

2. Making the very poor decision concerning the laptop.

3. The continued discussion on how the Auburn offense was "simplistic". Whether this is true or not is debatable. Some want to believe that the Auburn offense was the way it was because of Newton, as opposed to just the fact that it is the offense that the HC and OC wanted to run.

Personally, I have made absolutely no judgements about his intelligence. We will see whether he has the work ethic and gray matter to learn and master an NFL offense. I hope and bet that he will.

The laptop thing and his past mistakes aren't a result of a lack of intelligence. They're the result of a lack of maturity at the time. It certainly seems he's turned the corner and realizes what's good for him and how much he stands to gain by staying out of trouble.

And really, it's not like the guy was accused of raping two women or anything. Or hit & run. Or killing someone while driving drunk. Plenty of NFL players have done a LOT worse than buy a stolen laptop, get a few traffic tickets, and take money to play college ball.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      If you think the NFL or NBA are worried about lawsuits or something like officiating scandals bringing down their empires, I think you're giving them way too much credit.  Go watch the documentary on Tim Donaghy in the NBA and who was involved and what he did.  One of the guys he worked with is still one of the league's top trusted officials, especially for playoff games.  IIRC, they have records showing he was the person Donaghy exchanged phone calls with the most during his time fixing games.  And his reputation is beyond horrible...  but he's untouchable.  I also encourage you to go watch DeMaurice Smith's Breakfast Club interview.  He laid out how for fans, we just know these organizations as a singular, public entity - like THE Carolina Panthers, or THE Dallas Cowboys- but, in actuality, he said that is the public-facing identity of an umbrella company comprised of countless smaller businesses and LLCs.  He is tasked with trying to audit their books, and he said these organizations are structured in such a way that even HE can't ever know what they truly make in a year.  It's impossible.  And now, this is just me speculating on top of that, but you think the league's themselves are structured similarly?  They are untouchable.  IIRC, they are recognized legally as "entertainment" organizations, thus protecting themselves in cases where integrity would come into question.  They are protected, layer, behind layer, behind layer.  Betting works because there is some degree of control that ensures the house wins more than it loses, by a lot.  The short of it is, "Give them bread and circuses" and all that jazz.  These leagues operate with total impunity.  Again, it's not just because I'm a Panthers fan, but even if I wasn't and I watched Superbowl 50 without a dog in the fight I would walk away feeling like that outcome was controlled and influenced HEAVILY to where the Panthers were not given a level playing field.  The same poo happens every Sunday to teams playing those blue blood franchises and ones with intriguing storylines.

      Trade Chuba?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This Chuba isn't getting traded, but Rico very well could be in a few weeks if he keeps playing well in a tandem backfield with Chuba also playing well. I think we'd end up going with a two headed monster in that case, but with Rico being on a one year deal, it does open up the possibility of a contending team offering up a decent pick for him.  Depending on the recovery of Hampton, I could see someone like the Chargers giving us a 4th for him if they think he could put them over the top, he would fit nicely in a Harbaugh system I think. If it comes to that, we need to make that trade, as I can't see any way we re-sign Rico with all our other needs and getting Brooks back too.  And he's not going to get a contract big enough to get us any comp picks in return, especially if/when we sign a FA or two ourselves.  So if we're not going to bring him back, the prudent decision would really be to get a draft pick for him at the deadline.

      It's all about what they do at QB. It's clear the rest of the roster is improving. If they commit long term to Young because he's being carried to wins then we're fuged. I think that's a separate issue to finally being competitive again.  There's no QB in this Draft that's going to ride in on his white horse on day one and save us, so we absolutely shouldn't be playing for Draft position.
