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.

      PGA Tour disrespect Dave Tepper and the Carolina Panthers

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Very true.  Sports are also getting crazier than ever.  I have seen full blown armored fights making a combat.  Bonkers to me Medieval fights are a thing again.  I don't watch it enough to know, but how has someone not died or been seriously injured?

      Definitely not a classy move.  They deleted it, though.  Maybe they realized that.  Maybe they got a call from Tepp lol.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      Wanted to take a step back and look at how the Panthers' WR room has evolved over the past three seasons... especially now that Bryce finally has a corps with defined roles and actual upside heading into 2025. It's been a journey from stopgap veterans to a room that actually feels built for a modern NFL offense. We've come a long way from DJ Chark and TMJ. Speaking of... 2023: Inseparable WRs: Adam Thielen (slot), DJ Chark (X), Terrace Marshall Jr. (Y), Jonathan Mingo (rookie), Laviska Shenault, Ihmir Smith-Marsette What Happened: Bryce's rookie year. Thielen was productive but heavily targeted out of necessity. Chark couldn't stay healthy, and TMJ didn't break out (again). Mingo was raw and got bounced between roles. Shenault was a gadget guy. ISM was a special teams guy that eventually took Shenault's role. No clear WR1, no deep speed threat, and nothing consistent beyond Thielen. Bryce was throwing into tight windows constantly. TMJ started at Y but was inactive after Shenault returned. Mingo was drafted by Reich/Fitterer, while TMJ was a Rhule/Hurney holdover - so Mingo got more looks down the stretch as a possible possession WR2.  Verdict: Ultimately, this was a group of veteran placeholders and miscast youth that had no real identity and was built for survival rather than development. 2024: The Reset WRs: Adam Thielen (slot), Diontae Johnson (X), Xavier Legette (Y, rookie), Jonathan Mingo, Jalen Coker (rookie), David Moore What Changed: New leadership brought in two guy to try and provide some juice to a group that was at the bottom of the league in separation. They traded for Diontae to play the X and up to #32 to draft XL as a long term Y with WR1 upside. Mingo backed up the slot and rotated outside before being dealt. Coker, a UDFA, started flashing early doing what was being asked of Mingo. Diontae was moved midseason after attitude issues. Mingo was dealt to Dallas with a 7th in exchange for a 2025 3rd - insane value considering Coker's emergence and what other WR trades have netted teams. Coker stepped into WR3 duties after the trades and held it down until Thielen returned from injury. XL earned praise for his toughness playing thru injury but had issues with drops that frustrated fans. Hopefully, his timing with Bryce improves in 2025. Coker filled that power slot/possession role the team hoped Mingo would grow into, and he did it with more consistency.  Verdict: The room got younger and more intentional. Diontae and Mingo weren't fits (the former due to attitude, the latter due to scheme), and once they were out, you could see the group trending upward. 2025: Real ID Projected WRs: Tetairoa McMillan (X), Xavier Legette (Y), Adam Thielen (slot), Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr (rookie)., and a battle for WR6 (David Moore, Hunter Renfrow, Jacolby George) The Vision: TMac was the pick at #8 overall and finally gives Bryce a real X with size, body control, and a presence in the red zone. XL gets to stay at the Y where he is a better fit until he develops further. AT becomes the vet/mentor rather than having to be WR1 as a slot receiver in his mid-30s. Coker offers rotational size and reliability to go along with his excellent hands. Jimmy Horn Jr. brings some of the speed and agility that Diontae brought last year, but with value as a returner as well. WR6 could come down to who brings more value on ST. It wouldn't surprise me to see Renfrow stashed on the PS. Verdict: Finally feels like a WR room built for Bryce instead of just giving him a few guys and demanding that he make them a top-10 unit. It has structure... size on the outside, RAC potential, vets inside, and defined depth roles. We've still got plenty of questions waiting to be answered: Who wins the WR6 spot? Does XL take the next step in year two? Does TMac hold up to expectations for a top-8 draft pick? Is the room truly improved or does it still lack a true separator amongst them? Still.. it's pretty cool stepping back and seeing how things have evolved over the last few seasons.
