Same with RGIII. You don't see people questioning his work ethic and intelligence (aka...caught stealing/cheating)
I don't give a shit what kind of year Cam had, I without a doubt believe they would trade Cam for Luck in a heartbeat. I know I (and many others) would as well.

Cam rookie season destroyed the misconceptions that exsisted about him pre-draft thus effectively proving the pre-draft analysis 'question marks' by 'people' invalid.
The mere fact that he was selected #1 overall proves that draft media and actual team scouts/execs/decision makers don't share the same opinions.
You can believe whatever you like and plunge your head as deep into the sand as you like.
But, you're not gonna be able to make Cam actual on the field production vanish simply because

The draft media that you listen to were wrong and therefore you were wrong.
Cam proved you wrong, just deal with it and move on.
BTW-Here's what a media memeber that's a former actual team scout/exec that actually meet Cam and his family (i.e. actually did his research about Cam) said about him last year prior to draft:

The one thing most people will agree on is that Newton has a ton of talent, both as a passer and a natural athlete. The biggest concern is perhaps his lack of experience, having only played one season of major college football. But when you factor in his work habits and his character, the experience becomes less of a concern.

NFL.com news: Believe the hype: Newton has intangibles to be a star
You chose to believe whomever you chose to believe.
I believe people that actually know what the heck they're talking about.

I'm done unless you wanna talk about Griff?
