Lots of people and media outlets have him as a legit MVP contender.
That's the thing, it's not just Carolina Panther fans or Cam Newton fans that think he is or should be in the MVP race...it's a lot of other people.

Also, the OP completely plays down Cam Newton's supporting cast and his running ability. Cam Newton's running ability opens up things for Jonathan Stewart. His passing game revolves around one player, Greg Olsen. Teddy Ginn Jr and Philly Brown would both be WR4s somewhere else. Tedd Ginn has not only dropped passes that would've been touchdowns, but he's also dropped passes that ended up being intercepted.

It's much more than just stats with this. Carolina is 7-0 thanks to Cam Newton and the defense.

NFC South: Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers

The Panthers' franchise quarterback is listed here not because of his numbers but because he's found a way to guide his team to a 7-0 start despite a supporting cast that includes only one Pro Bowl-caliber playmaker (tight end Greg Olsen) on the perimeter. Yes, the defense has also played a major role in Carolina's ascension to the ranks of the elite, but Newton's maturation has keyed the Panthers' dominance in the NFC South.
