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

[CatMan72]

Just curious here, he reportedly threw the laptop out the window AFTER the cops had the serial number. If that is true, how in the hell is that not dumb? That means the cops already knew he had the stolen laptop. How does throwing it out the window at that point do anything but make him look guilty?

Yes, if he had an above-average criminal IQ he wouldn't have thrown it out the window, but he's basically a good kid who did something stupid and was about to get caught, so he threw it out the window...

Coming from a person who obvisly (and has just proven) he knows nothing about football.

He see the blitz after the ball has been snapped not before. If his coaches coached him up he would have already see that coming and not had to react. He could have planned.

Watching the first 6:00 minutes of tape with is what he had.

34 Passing attempts.

12 Good reads/ Passes hitting WR's on the move in stride.

22 Passes with bad throw in to double Coverage,Low, High, miss WR 2INTs in BCS Game. Several more could have and would have been INTs in the NFL

Look at time footage 4:53. A clear Safey blitz comes in and He is oblivous to it. He never saw it coming and never felt the blitzers presance behind him.

The only thing that you have proven to anyone in the forum, is you have a lot of hate an anger in you.

Oh and hes not the first QB taken 1# overall with a BCS and a Heisman trophy on his resume in the past 25 years. And let me think....hmmmm None of them amounted to poo in the NFL.

How the hell do you know what he saw before the snap? The first play of the first video he scanned the defense before the snap. Did he get sacked? Did the blitz work? 22 passes that were bad? how many were complete is what matters.

1int in the BCS game, coach. WR dropped a lot of good passes too. So out of all that footage you only saw 12 good plays and he didnt see any blitzes. You could of told me before hand you just talk out your ass and could've saved me the time showing you the videos. Apparently Rivera and Hurney see the same thing I do, but what do they know:rolleyes:

I'm sure coaches look at a little more than just completions, but please carry on.

exactly. more than just accurate too, which is something you swore he wasn't. Ask coach how accurate he is. You also said the defenses would eat him alive. The DC that had the #1 defense in the NFL doesn't agree. I got like ten minutes until I get back to not giving a poo about what you're talking about hurry it up

No he was already caught. Throwing it out the window doesn't change the fact that the cops already had the serial number.

He's not accurate.

We'll see about defenses eating him alive although I'm not sure I ever used those words.

We'll see what happens in the future. I hope I'm wrong, but that's rare.

Learn to read footage before you try and tell someone how thats been doing it for years and gets paid to do it.

your team must be garbage as hell and you should be fired. I never coached poo but bitches in the bedroom and read that footage way better than you. see yall later:cam: get over it

[HsvPantherFan]

Cam completed 73.5% of his passes when rushed by 5+ defenders. That's damn impressive. :thumbsup:

He talks like a black guy. Of course he's dumb as poo. Only black guys who sound like uncle toms are intelligent. Get with the program.

Black guys who sound like Uncle Tom's? By "Uncle Tom", do you mean using proper English and expressing themselves clearly and succinctly? That is not a white thing, it is an intelligence thing. So you think using proper English is giving in to the man, and if you are a real black man you will butcher the language, slur words, and use slang common to street thugs?

Speaking correctly is not about race, it is about intelligence. If you want to separate your race from others by creating an identity that labels, then you are contributing to racial profiling, not opposing it.

Cam is not dumb, but some perceive that he is because he has some grammar issues. You do not hear Asians putting down other Asians for losing their accents. You do not hear whites from the South put down for overcoming the Southern drawl.

Uncle Tom is what blacks call other blacks because they are adapting to the world around them--every intelligent person does it. When we talk, others measure our intelligence. So, if you want people to think you are stupid, use bad grammar around them. Regardless of color, you will succeed in doing so.

[DawgzLife]

it's because he's black and we live in a very racist country.

Seriously?! :ack2:

Racism will always exist when it is constantly blamed.

Can you explain then why people think Ryan Mallet (I think he's white) is berated as stupid & dropped to the 5th round with 1st round physical talent. Maybe he is secretly black!

Come feaking on, there are as many brilliant blacks & there are whites, or japanese, etc, etc. There are also as many idiots in each race too. Let's just face the facts.

Cam has a bad rap b/c of the choices he's made & the people he has surronded himself around (esp. his dad). He doesn't have the best handle onthe English language & thus gets the label. It will be fun to watch how wrong those claiming he is dumb are! :)

he knew it was stolen so he tossed it out a window to try to avoid being caught with it is my take. I did a bit of reading about this because originally I didn't believe he knew it was stolen and thought he was just freaking out that the cops were beating at his door or something, but...

What happened (according, admittedly, to Florida people) was someone was downloading illegal items (songs etc) with the computer after it was stolen from some other undergraduate. The owner of the computer got a warning via the campus IT people that his internet access was being suspended for downloading MP3s and poo. So he told them hell I don't have my computer it must be someone on campus. They traced the internet connection back and checked the logs, finding out that someone named Cam Newton was logging in to the campus internet with the computer.

The police wrote down the serial # on a piece of paper and went to investigate. In Cam's room they found a laptop of the make and model of the stolen version. They asked Cam about it. He let them see it. They checked the serial #, and found out it was not the # that they had written on a piece of paper. So they wrote down the # of Cam's, then left.

When they double checked the number it turned out that the cops had transcribed the number wrong from the original report of what was stolen. The actual number matched what they had written from Cam's room. Cam tossed the thing out a window and then had a friend dispose of it. The friend texted Cam about it, which the police ended up reading when they his cell phone.

Cam later completed a pretrial program to avoid a sentence that would have destroyed his life. Since Florida, it truly appears he's been on the straight and narrow. I do think he has turned his life around and I am glad for it, because he's a Panther now.

As to the topic, Cam undoubtedly receives hate because of racism, but it is too easy to fall into the hole of thinking anyone who has a criticism of Cam Newton is a racist...
