Nope....just hearsay and opinion so far, likely because he's black. He may be dumb as a rock, but I've not read anything that actually confirms that.

That's what I thought. Shoot, even if he's as dumb as a rock, he could still be a good QB.
Well, it has been alleged that Newton was cheating on tests while at Florida and was about to be expelled and that is why he transferred to Auburn. He can't be too bright if did indeed do that.

You disagree? Because only geniuses cheat on tests.

Because he's black? Come on. I think he is an idiot for his action that include cheating on tests; stealing a laptop, writing his name on it and then throwing it out the window when the police show up.

He was on he way out as soon as Tebow was coming back. Thats a fact. Meyer/Florida got pissed about him leaving and released/sourced out confidential info that was never confirmed. If he never left Florida none of this info would have came out. Meyer would still be coaching because he would have had a QB that didnt suck.
I find it hilarious people trash Newton but dont say s**t about another JUCO transfer. Who had 1 good year, has serious character issues and a reputation for cheap shots n dirty play in Fairly. I find that strange and hilarious. Just not as funny as the hate on Newton. Who by the way didnt choke vs Oregon and throw the game away like Luck did. OR how Gabbert choked n Mallet choked or just tucked n ran like Locker. I also find it funny that no one mentions the best comeback in college football last year lead by Newton against Alabama. Too damn funny no one but people who like Newton mention that game.

There's a difference between being an idiot and having a low I.Q.. Big Ben has proved to be just as big of an idiot, but nobody that I've heard of equates that with a low I.Q. or specifically, an inability to grasp a playbook. IMO, their actions are more an issue of judgement/immaturity than intelligence (football, or otherwise).
If he scores a -14 on his Wunderlic, or if his coach said they had to dumb down the playbook because he couldn't grasp anything more complex than RUN1 and PASS2, that's a different matter.

Again, IF he did have to cheat on tests in college, he MAY have a problem processing complex data or have bad study habits, making it hard to learn anything, especially complex offenses and defenses in the NFL. IF this is the case, then he probably will have a hard time in the NFL.

You're right...he MAY have a problem, or he may not. Teams could put him on the whiteboard and come away really impressed with what he knows, what he sees and what he's able to process in small windows of time. Or they could come away shaking their heads thinking this guy would be lucky to play TE in the NFL.
We don't know yet, but I don't think his freshman behavior will be the determining factor.

Cheating on tests on subjects he is not familiar with is completely different than studying playbooks, something all football players have done their entire lives. Cam has shown the ability to learn three, yet somewhat similar, versions of the spread....with different terminology. Stop acting as if he is the only one to have cheated, Ive said it before, and I'll say it again....he aint the first and certainly not the last. Get over that fact. Again this wouldnt be an issue had Florida not illegaly leaked this info out.
The issue with the police is chalked up for being young and dumb. Dont sit on your throne of judgment and condemn him for buying a stolen laptop. He could have done alot worse. We have all done things dumb when we were young, especially when you are in a new place. Cmon now.
His dad is a different story. He is the one that is dispicable. Although nothing has been proven, it is still a horrible matter.
Camscuses....you guys still come up with the same argument. You are so much better at being a human being it is obvious that you would reject Cam as a human being, because he doesent fit in with your club. Get over it.

Step off. Who is condemning Cam Newton? Get off your judgment high horse and stop condemning me or anyone else. Stop being a hypocrite. I put conditional clauses in all of my statements. I never accused Cam Newton of cheating.
I've been to college three times over on different levels, not to mention teaching various courses. I know that any core course is passable by any undergraduate student if they put time and effort into it and have even a modicum of work habit. And saying that "he ain't the first to cheat", is certainly not an excuse. It's like saying, "I'm not the first one to cheat on my wife, and I won't be last", as if that makes everything O.K.. There is NO excuse for cheating and I have failed students for doing such. Students who cheat don't belong in institutions of higher education and it is a shame if any higher institution covers it up. They demean the very purpose of education and cheat themselves. I mean, why go to college, an optional place to go to learn, if you have no genuine intention to learn anything, but how to be a thief and liar?
Again, if you read my post, you would have seen that I stated that IF he cheated, it COULD be a sign that he has either a poor study habit, which could affect a player who plays a position that demands a lot of time and effort in the classroom, or, it COULD mean that he lacks the ability to learn well and has to take "short-cuts", which also has its adverse effects on the position.
In regards to the laptops. He was an adult during incident, not a 13 year old. He was responsible for his actions and chose to try to avoid authority and getting into trouble when he knew he did something wrong. He could have realized he made a mistake afterwards and truly have repented, or he could have been repentant only of the fact that he was caught. In the former case, he gained some moral character, in the latter, he gained the knowledge that he should try harder to be deceptive in criminal matters. Only Cam Newton knows which one applies to him. I can only judge the incident as a point of concern and need for investigation in the future, especially if the Niners want to draft him. They have to investigate everything.
Further, you condemn his father, but you forget that he IS Cam Newton's father and Cam IS his son. He is very close to his father and seems to put a lot of authority in his hands when making decisions. That is worrisome, especially when his father seems to try his hardest to make a profit off of his son. Who knows how much of Newton's father's unethical behavior has rubbed off on Cam? But, that really isn't a concern. The concern is whether the father will continue to be "meddlesome" in his NFL career, which could cause tensions with any team that deals with him.
Again, no one is condemning Cam as a human being. No human has that right. But, one can be worried about how Cam acts and in what ways it will impact his NFL career and the team that wants to invest in him.

If you are a teacher, then you should understand how most of the student athletes are raised...most institutions, studies are taken lightly. Football is a business, most of these players spend most of their time training and studying playbooks, not real books.. Most of the schools let them get away with taking studies lightly. Its not that hard to understand, don't be so naieve to think that all students who go to school are superiorly intellegent than those that dont. That is not the case here.
And saying he is a legal adult is fine. But its the first time away from his parents living in a new city. Most of them are wide eyed, trying to meet new friends, and learning to live on their own. And $hit happens. Really why harp on it....MOST of us have made similar mistakes, I know I have...maybe you may have not, because this is such a big deal. I chalk it up to a kid being a kid....yeah he is 18....and if you have heard any of his interviews on the subject, Im sure maybe you will have a change of heart.

Every QB n player drafted is a project. You have to look at the rare & unique abilities when drafting in the top 10. For a QB needy team Newton fits the bill perfectly. More than any other QB we could draft. Look at what Harbaugh did with Josh Johnson. Newton is the heavyweight version of him. Without the Russell man titties. Cannon arm, speed, accuracy, poise, and elite size. The best of all he doesnt make bad throws into coverage. He doesnt make that game ending throw like a Locker,Mallet or Gabbert. Harbaugh is perfectly capable coaching his mechanics and footwork. Its a huge reason he is here and gets 5 mill a year. Once thats done we will have the best QB in the division.
scam is a project that harbaugh wont be working with and im happy about that, im 100% confident he wont be a 9er. but i guess people love to hope he would be a 9er only to see come the end of april he wont beand all this newton talk about hopefully being a 9er can die
Are you following Harbaugh around with a pooper scooper in your hands following Harbaugh everywhere he goes? Do you wipe Harbaugh's ass everytime he goes to take a dump? Your bias and idiotic assumptions are getting old. How do you "know" that he wont? Because the Niners failed with Alex Smith means that we wont NEVER take a QB in the first again? Get real man.
We need a QB. Harbaugh specializes in QBs. Because there wont be FA until after the draft, QB is #1 on our list. Really, do you really want mediocre play from the QB position for the next decade? We cant sit and wait around, and pray that some mediocre FA QB comes in and becomes Jesus re-incarnated. We need a QB, Cam is a potential look. So is Locker, Mallett, and Gabbert, each of them have their own "faults"...there is no doubt in my mind any of them can play in the NFL over time. These 4 will go in the 1st. And all four are much better than the second tier qbs in this draft.
Besides, Peyton Manning was the last sure thing to come in to the NFL from college. And there wont be another like him till Luck comes out next year.
whatever buddy just dont cry when newton is not a 9er
100 bux Fred doesnt even watch college football muchless SEC football. Youre wasting your time with his hating a*****e attitude.
