Mayock Warming to Cam Newton

Mayock's moved Cam Newton past Jake Locker. Big surprise, lol.

Said it on Path to the Draft, not sure if an NFL.com link is up yet.

He still has Cam below Gabbert, and I don't really expect that to change. Mayock is extremely high on Gabbert.

His reason for it was basically that he thought Cam was further along, mechanics wise, than The Golden Calf of Bristol/Young were at this point... also said something about dotting i's and crossing t's.

Mayocks only knock on Newton now is will he still be as motivated when he hits pay dirt.Some how everything else has improved.

I still cannot get on the Newton bandwagon.I agree with what Kurt Warner said about running QBs."When was the last time one won a superbowl."They are not as likely to look past the second receiver before taking off. My concern is he seems to be a prima donna.I hope I am wrong because if we do not trade down it appears we may grab him.The good news he has incredible upside and if does not work as QB he could make a good tight end.

Gabbert you mean the guy with the 'happy feet' and unimpressive stats and had one of the top TE for the 2012 NFL draft to throw to? And don't even let me start on his deep pass.

please talk about his "deep pass" because from every NFL analyst and scout that have made comments about him, they all agree he has the arm to make ALL the throws.

The guy also in that video was recommending that Newton brings that Auburn offense with him, that they start to implement the college spread offense in with the normal pro style. Because "that's what the Titans did with Vince Young". If Newton comes to Carolina he needs to be committed to learning the Pro game and working hard as hell to become the best he can be, we don't need a Dwayne Jarett at QB.

Brian Baldinger. And yeah, that part is not happening.

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
