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.

    • 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.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
