I'm shocked by this as well.

I don't mean to be rude at all, but I just don't understand where that sort of mindset comes from. Since drafting Newton, one of the main things he has done for this franchise/fan base is give everything he has to make this team competitive, and tried to rid ourselves of the losing mentality that festered here for too long. He gives it his all on every down. Just watch the guy play. His teammates see it, I don't know how fans can't, unless they choose not to.

Look around the NFL at teams who are still searching for that franchise quarterback. You would think the 2010 season alone would give a little perspective to fans, but I guess not. Newton has certainly grown as a player, a teammate, and an individual, but I think it's some of our fans who had to "mature" over these years more than our quarterback.

I don't take anything you've said as rude, but I wasnt talking about his play on the field, only his interactions in the community.  I've been a huge Cam supporter on the field since he got here, especially after suffering through years if not decades of subpar qb play.  I was simply making an observation that as a 26 year old, same as any of us, he's matured over time since a first-hand observation my wife had of him when he was a rookie, a first impression he left her with that was not a good one.  However, with this story, we both were impressed with him, and the first impression she was left with, an impression I didn't disagree with though I didn't personally observe, has been reversed.  That's not to say he hasn't been doing great things outside of football as the years have rolled on; we were just impressed with what he did for this young boy and the expression of his character through it.
