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

[jherald]

I know that I'm going to get reamed for this but...

the man just came from college for heaven's sake. He has to possess some intelligence. I believe that he handles himself quite well during interviews and does not seem stupid to me. BTW...I am white and live in a predominantly black area. I've known more stupid white people than black people as well.

well said. Welcome to the Huddle!

there are alot of different opinions about alot of different things here... but we're all die-hard Panther heads!

[ncmonzta]

why are you looking for them here?

who have you seen acting proud and tough?

I see a lot slick racist comments and I know most of the people here are in NC somewhere so I just want them to PM me and point me in the direction of the people that are brave enough to say it in the real world. It'll help the future generation if we eliminate the source. There are some that are too far away so they feel extra safe. I know a lot of people that would love to meet these klansmen of the internet. No reason to call names. When you see me call someone out just look back in the thread you'll figure out why.

Ryan Mallett sounded and acted more stupid and ignorant than Newton.

Oh and the WONDERLIC test is BS. It proves nothing about a players the thing that’s always funny to me about discussions on race is there is only one frigging race. It’s called the human race. When will people grow the hell up?

Oh and the WONDERLIC test is BS. it proves nothing about a players intelligence. The expert’s, coaches and media hype it up like it means something. ITs like say Military Intelligence.

The poo he did in college, we have all done stupid ass things when we left for school or the military or just getting out on your own away from our parents. He cheating on tests says nothing about his intelligence or lack thereof. I know of several players in college that were F##ing their Tudors to get them to do their work for them.

Buying a stolen laptop? Did he know it was stolen? I have read the reports and nothing has lead me to that conclusion what so ever.

The young man is very athletic and has a lot of talent. My issue with him is does he have football intelligence. Now stop before getting pissy and read further.

Tom Brady was a 6th round pick because he lacked speed, arm strength, and so on. But he’s the best QB in the NFL because of his "football" intelligence. He can read defenses, he know where every single player on offense is suppose to be on every single play in the playbook. He sees a blitz coming before the ball is snapped.

Cam Newton (At this time) has not shown me he has football intelligence. But this does not mean he cannot learn it. He’s coming from a simplified college program. Just like most of the QB's in this year’s draft. The Panthers coaches have already stated they are going to simplify the offense for him. What does this say? He will need time to learn the full game of football and what it takes to be a good starting QB.

Most of you want thrown him in the fire. We I’m telling you if we do, he’s going to get burnt. Let him sit learn the game. Learn how to read a defense. Let him master our offense and become the leader of the team. IF the coaches do this, with his physical abilities, he could be a HOF QB. But handing over the team to him at this time could hurt him long term.. and then we wasted another High draft pick for nothing.

Drop the Race BS this forum is about football and the Carolina Panthers. If you want to start that crap go to a rally or a meeting. But leave that poo in your own home and screwed up minds.

188.2 QB rating doesnt show you football intelligence? That was better than Luck's

[TheRealDeal]

Can someone just PM me some specific locations where I can find a bigot brave enough to say these ignorant comments away from a computer. Kitten Diver when and where is the next nota klue klux klan or dickhead meeting so I show you how dumb we black people can really get. You pussies are always hiding either behind the computer screen or deep deep in the woods somewhere:dita:

I'm not a bigot nor am I brave but a PM has been sent

You're a pussy and you aren't going to do anything.

You are talking more tough than anyone online and you are the one that looks like an idiot.

Do you get it? Calling everyone klansmen doesn't make you look like a victim nor does it make anyone else look like a racist, it makes you look retarded.

You want to help future generations? Give your children up for adoption if you have them and cut your balls off you piece of poo.

How do you get such a rating? It comes from being "smart" with the football and not making mistakes. I think that qualifies for football intelligence.

No not at all. Not in a college offense. 3 step dropped look at your first read if it’s not there run. It only proves he is an accurate passer. Nothing more. Which is a good thing.

ive seen his game tapes and I have seen his stats. he does have a great upside. My thing is the coaches getting him to the next level. He has the ability to be the Panthers First real Franchise QB. Im pulling for him however I have also been one of his biggest critics. But because of My love for this team. im giving him the chance he deserves like all of our players and rookies.

Now think about this. It shows he can be very accurate as a passer. and we know if a a strong arm and is very elusive and quick on his feet. Now add the ability to read a defense and read a blitz. To call out a proper hot route to your receiver and adjust your blocking scheme to pick up the blitz and hit that WR on a post pattern with man coverage an no over the top help. With speedy WR's like Steve Smith and Gettis, that’s a TD and not a sack.

This is the part of the game where "Football" Intelligence comes in. Can he learn it yes is he eager to learn and become great? He says he is. Can the couches teach him properly. Depends on the coach and how he learns. Saying that, every coach coaches differently and every player learns differently. its about knowing how a player learns the best and coaching/teaching him that way. This is where our new rookies are hurting this season. Not Camps or OTA's no way for the coaches and rookies to learn about each other. Hopefully all the meetings and dinners and so on that Cam had with the Panthers Staff helps in this area.

The point I’m making it from 12 years of coaching football from Pee Wee to college. No one learns the same and you can’t teach/coach everyone the same way.
