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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
