ESPN's Gruden's QB Camp - Newton

True, but at least he doesn't kill dogs...that we know of.
But in all seriousness, probably not a lot of college kids have stolen laptops and lied about it. However, you're crazy if you think every single quarterback in the league did all of their homework and wrote every paper themselves. OR didn't get some cash to play at some point in their college careers. It happens. Deal with it. I'm not saying that ALL or MOST of the QBs playing now did these things, but that is the way things work at some major college programs. Private accounts through boosters, money handshakes, advanced answers to tests, etc, etc.
Unfortunately, the burden of proof doesn't lie with Newton. It lies with the incompetent NCAA. But this test idea is hilarious.

The only ****** is you for hoping someone else fails at their job. And dont say you dont hope he does, cause if you didnt hope you wouldnt go around bragging that he will.

I'll say it: I hope Cam Newton fails. I can't wait to see that cocky grin get wiped off of his face by a Clay Matthews or Ray Lewis. He's never once come off as a sincere person. He's out to get his, and he's demonstrated that he's only been willing to take shortcuts to get it.

Because of this type of attitude and that so many are rooting for him to fail.....I am rooting for him to succeed. It's hilarious how we pick and choose who to root for.

For me it is NOT really an issue of the sliminess. For me it is just a matter of communication ability, conveyed intelligence, and leadership skills. Cam seems like the kind of kid who can lead other kids from an academically weak program. But I see no way he is going to be able to take over an NFL team as a leader. Sorry, but your QB needs to have the ability to read the different players on the team and respond to each appropriately. Cam comes off more like the primadonna receiver that you suffer as long as you can until he finally becomes too cancerous, so you let him become someone else's problem. Along the way he makes some plays and is good for soundbites, but is just completely disruptive to team unity.

Not sure what evidence you have to back up your claims. Cam showed up a juco two years ago, won the team over and led them to a national title. He showed up at Auburn a year ago, won the team over and led them to a national title. He's proven to be a very good leader, whether his skills translate to the NFL is a fair question, but I don't see how you can question his leadership skills.
Agreed. Newton is everything that is wrong with college football. If you add in his 'self-called' QB sneak in the national championship game, that in itself should be enough reason to never draft this kid. I just wish he would've fumbled on this play. Wants to be a star athlete, but is focusing on the star a little bit more than the athlete.
