I would hire him quick If i was a Owner. It seems like he will make great picks for my team and they would fit my team

Should be fun to watch, Cam Newton wants #2, doesn't sound like Clausen wants to give it up:

Two days after Carolina drafted Cam Newton No. 1 overall, the Auburn quarterback stood beside Panthers passer Jimmy Clausen at a charity kickball game, both players donning shirts emblazoned with No. 2.

"It's mine right now," Clausen told The Charlotte Observer in a story for Sunday's editions. "We'll see what happens."

Clausen has welcomed Newton to the fold, but he's not about to hand over the No. 2 jersey -- or the No. 1 role.

Have to see how this plays out, you know Clausen has a huge ego and isn't going to want to give it up but I would think Carolina is going to back Newton and I won't be surprised if he gets it.

Exactly, I can't see why Clausen would care other than his ego, he knows Newton is going to take his job and I would bet he tries to hang onto #2 just to stick it to Cam.

Ya ive heard while clausen wont show it publicly, hes pritty arrogent. Who knows though, if I was in clausens shoes I would say all the right things to the media but not let cam have the number. A distraction like this for cam, could cause clausen to win the job or at least would make cam either pay or wear a different number.

Very true, I'm not particularly fond of either of them and don't really think either will be a successful QB at this level so I'm in for watching any kind of potential drama between them lol.

I'm a big fan of Mayock and his analyst skills. But recently, days prior to the draft, I've been checking some of Mayock's position rankings and I am surprised with some of his 2010 player projections.

He put Gerald McCoy over Ndamukong Suh.

Aaron Hernandez was not even in his top 5 TE list, yet 7th round pick Dorin Dickerson was.

And he liked Earl Thomas more than Eric Berry.

Those picks kind of disappointed me. He makes great quick notes about each player selected, but I don't think he has the magic eye of finding a diamond in the rough.

exactually how ive felt the whole time, I never lived up to the pro style hype of clausen last year, and never lived up to the explosive hype of newton this year. personaly I just dont like either guys personality's, but I also never have thought they would be sucussful nfl qb's. I would love some sorta drama between them
