Cam Newton had awesome athletic ability. But he also is dumb as **** when it comes to a playbook and he's got a 10 cent head when it comes to off the field stuff.

Then why was he taken #1 overall and why was he able to set the rookie passing record?
Clearly, anyone that said he wasn't "Elite" was a dumb****. It's exactly what happened to Marino, where people "claimed" he had issues and slipped to #27 overall.
Fortunately for Newton, Carolina ignored all the bullshit and took him #1 overall, anyway.
