Can someone shed some light on this idea that Newton is dumb?

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.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
