Mike Mayock Rant

I was absolutely salivating about the Dolphins possibly getting Jay Cutler MONTHS before last year's draft.

I saw a few projections with him going 16th to us, and I rejoiced to the Heavens.

But then he proved how good he actually is in the combine and other stuff, and he went higher.

JC actually has what it takes to be the best QB in the NFL. Watch in 3 years. Mark my words.
 
If you dont like him then dont watch him.... unless you are Superman and Mikie is your Kryptonight and Dr. Evil has you chained to a chair in front of the Television and the clicker is out of reach... god help us with no superman
 
Vince Young scares me as a Dolphin fan. He is going to make playing Tennesse very scary for years to come. The guy is a winner, and a freak talent...deadly combo. Now, can anyone tell me if Quinn or Russell is participating in the combine? If not, I predict during combine week, Mayock will adopt the top talent at qb, surrounded by most hype, and will label him the best qb in the draft.
 
Don't know why you feel that, but when it comes to watching draft "gurus," I think his opinions and analysis are the most insightful, on TV that is.
 
I just think he's a bit of a nut-hugger for guys who compete on the programs he tries to promote. Last year, he took a lot of credit away from Vince Young and Matt Leinert because they didn't compete at the one event a year that Mayock "is the guy" at, the combine. Draft day, its Kiper. If Joe Thomas doesn't compete at the combine, guaranteed, he'll slap Levi as the best Tackle in the draft. Last year he almost seemed like he was on a witch hunt against guys who skipped the combine( skipped because thier value was already so high). Thats what Im saying. But just because a very top draft prospect doesn't compete, does not mean you should deny thier true value. The truth prevailed draft day though, when both Young and Leinert went before Cutler, to Mayock's displeasure no doubt.

As I said before, Mayock was a huge Cutler fan BEFORE the combine.

You honestly think he lost sleep over Cutler being drafted after the other two? Couple years down the road when he turns out to be the best of the 3 Mayock will say I told ya so. Your putting too much emphasis on the combine as well, the Senior Bowl is the first stop and most guys that skip that, skip most of the combine drills as well. Granted Young and Russell were/are juniors and can't be in the Senior Bowl, but its not just the combine thats important.

Actually Mayock was big fan of Cutler before the combine. Talked him up quite a bit during Senior Bowl week. I think its far to early in their career to declare one so much better than the other. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but if I was starting a franchise and had to choose between the two I'd take Cutler everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

I was a fan of Cutler before his senior season. I was hoping we'd get to land him, little did I know he'd go top-15 before the season though.

I liked Cutler long before he was on the national radar as well. But you know who I wanted to draft in the first round last year prior to the college season? Omar Jacobs. :( That didn't work out as planned, to say the least.

:yes: I've been a big fan of his since he was a sophmore. Fearless player, took his whole team on his shoulders every Saturday at Vandy.

:lol: I played against him in high school and he was running over and stiff-arming our safeties in the playoffs. He along with Brent Schaffer were the two QBs I played against who were just on a different level than anyone else. I guess things change every time you take your game to the next level.

But thats where my issue with Mayock is, to digress to my original point. IMO, he put super value on the guys who competed at the combine, and paid a less creedence to the super prospects who skipped it, than he should have...almost saying "you don't do my combine, than to hell with you." Thats what I got from his coverage last year, and add his vanilla analysis on top of that, I felt the need for a rant. He watches a lot of tape, I won't deny that. Hey, good stuff on counter arguements. We're all entitled to opinions. Its what make this an interesting 1 star thread.:lol:
