“Something tells me that he’ll be content to be a multimillionaire who’s pretty good,” Mayock said. ”And doesn’t get it done for me.”

“It’s just this gut feeling I have: I don’t know how great he wants to be,” Mayock said on the Dan Patrick Show Monday. ”He’s got all the tools. Mechanically, he’s way beyond where The Golden Calf of Bristol and Vince Young were as college quarterbacks. . . . He’s got everything on the physical side.”

Quotes from here: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/25/mayock-on-cam-newton-i-dont-know-how-great-he-wants-to-be/

Actual interview here: http://www.danpatrick.com/2011/04/25/nfl-networks-mike-mayock-raises-questions-about-newton-mallett/

Didn't get to listen to it.

Not sure I agree, but hey. He's welcome to his opinion and he has seen far more of him than I have. Someone who isn't at work, listen to the interview and see if he says anything other than a "gut feeling"?

Does this change anyone's opinion of Newton's success? I was honestly surprised to hear such strong language from Mayock on him. He seemed as if Newton had been slowly moving on up. This is a drastic change and one that kind of worries me since I do respect Mayock's opinion and I also think we're looking closely at Cam.

LOL @ someone being labeled a hater if they don't slurp Newtons jock.

Title is mostly meant in jest. If you know me at all, you know I don't think the world of Newton, either.

Does this change anyones opinion of Newton's likelihood of success?

It is the same thing Mayock has said since pretty much day 1. I think he is dead wrong about what drives Cam Newton. And Hurney and Co. has spent a lot more time with Cam than Mayock has.

But Mayock could be right. But the same could be said about any of these guys. How a guy reacts to getting paid is an unknown for even a guy like Peterson.

when was mayock ever on the cam bandwagon?

he picked and stuck with dareus being the top player in the draft a long time ago.

Cam was his third QB entering the process and he has easily warmed on him and said a number of positives about him over the months, but he always said he didn't know if he's put in the effort to e a star.

Now he's saying more than just "I don't know," but "He'll be content to be a millionaire." That's a pretty big change, IMO... unless he always felt that way and was just trying to be PC.

It's not exactly the same thing. To go from him moving up your board to being concerned because you think he'll be content just getting drafted and paid is a big difference, IMO.

I agree Hurney has spent more time with him and I agree Hurney is likely to have a better idea of that.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
