Hurney, Rivera Looking like IDIOTS

Recommended Posts

1) They didn't go to Mallett's but brought him in. Sent Shula instead, and Mallett was at least at one point still in consideration.

2) ESPN did claim Rivera was there at one point, but that has since been retracted. Perhaps something happened?

3) We were surely in attendance even if not with our big guns.

4) We've got a private workout with the guy on saturday.

5) Maybe they already decided they wanted or didn't want him and this is all just a formality either way.

I don't doubt it. I have heard all the crazy praise he's getting. I'm pissed that all I've seen of it is a 30 second clip while ESPn gave me the lovely chance to sit through 8 hours of Auburn pro day. >: |

I think we saw what he did and I'm sure the Panthers know how he looks. I almost wonder if they heard he was throwing to a bunch of "no name" WRs and assumed it wouldn't be worth going to in person and could just watch film so they scheduled a private workout with Ricky Proehl running routes instead.

Might want to look at http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/03/17/gabbert-answers-questions-about-accuracy/?module=HP_headlines and http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/don_banks/03/17/blaine-gabbert-pro-day/index.html#ixzz1GtfZ6rzc if you haven't yet. first is Gil Brandt going crazy over a guy he spent the last month downplaying, second is Don Banks with some comments from OCs that were there.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
