Mike Mayock on Cam Newton (on around the NFL)

Recommended Posts

Mike Mayock broke down Cams performance on Sunday (on the NFL Network) and basically said;

Cam was very impressive and there is a reason carolina scored 37 points.

Cam NEwton

Poses a lot of threat with the run game.

Does a great job of reading

How long can he continue to run and survive like this. (No answer on his opinion)

Basically broke down a lot of our good plays and was just giving us props.

Sorry nothing earth shattering.

Also the segment right before was showing the burfict ankle twist on Cam and OLsen and then showed Olsens interview.

At least it got some air time

His improvement, talent, and value to the team has never been more obvious than it is right now.

 

Considering he's a #1 overall pick and is going to be making a TON of money soon I have very high standard for his play. Right now he's playing just outside of HoF territory. I wish he had a better team around him. I would prefer to not run him into the ground.

I cant remember but wasnt Mayock one of the guys high on Cam in the 2012 draft?

 

No. The future hall of famer Blaine Gabbert was his top rated QB.

 

Of course, he hedged his bet by saying Cam could become great if he wanted to, but that he (Mayock) had doubts if he would ever reach his potential. 

 

As the draft got closer, he admitted that Cam was likely to go first, but he personally was clinging to the Gabbert wagon.

I don't sweat pre draft stuff. Aren't some of the so called experts like some of us? Rather than go with the crowd they want to get the under the radar guy or say they were the only one to mention so and so.

It's not like Cam is the first guy to have people whiff on.

Sometimes you're right and sometimes you're wrong.

I actually watched the video. Here it is

I found it funny that he did not talk about his passing game but went straight to his running game. It was a bit annoying to me because we have known what a force Cam is in the run game, we in CAR see what's most improved about his game which is the passing.

Mayock did tell Panthers fans to be patient with Cam and let him grow.

I agree with CelibatePimp, it's kinda messed up that this segment was all about Cam's running game when he passed the ball so well on sunday....oh well thank goodness for the TWC sports channel, i'm really digging Kelly "flirty face" Burtik, she funny.

Statistically all he has to do is put up the numbers he's been putting up.  He needs to win playoff games to get there though.

About Gabbert--I don't blame Mayock as much as I do the Jags.  NO QB would have made it there at that time.  Gabbert got gun shy.  On the other hand, Cam had a 13-game resume in a spread offense that really did not challenge the QB. 

 

I respect Mayock.  He evaluates talent, not the situations and variables that impact success.

    • All good solids points. I think after the RB and LB, is kicker the next spot among "Legacy" panther spot?? Kasay, gano, butkler, Eddie(best all-time %), Slye, Lloyd the touch back god, Mare, lols.....  Fitz...*right now* feels a combo of all the best panther ones. With the new rules, Fitz is either first or second in starting field position form KOs. He's a weapon and ten yards do matter. 
    • "Plays well" vs "near historic performance" are pretty different things. It's important to keep in mind the Cowboys passing defense is league worst and their run defense is nearly so, for sure. But one of those two players vastly outperformed what most other players have done versus the Cowboys and the other had fewer yards than typical (but still played very well imo, and did all we needed him to). Rico pretty much doubled up virtually every other single back that has played the Cowboys.  So yeah I get why people would be surprised that Rico is so far down the list of O players.
    • Trevin and Rozeboom remind me (obviously at a smaller scale) of when they had Beason as the mic and Luke beside him. Luke looked very average and was out of position a lot until he swapped to mic. REALLY hoping this is another case of that. Just on eye test alone that swap has been a night and day difference.
