Hurney, Rivera Looking like IDIOTS

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2) ESPN did claim Rivera was there at one point, but that has since been retracted.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

    • Seriously? Rub some dirt in it and get back on the field. 
    • hiring matt rhule and giving him full control was maybe the worst singular decision this franchise has ever made outside of Rae Caruth 
    • Vikings bring back WR Thielen from Panthers Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick Panthers get: 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick Vikings grade: A- Panthers grade: C+ The Vikings have re-united with their longtime receiver Adam Thielen. Assuming the conditions of the 2026 pick headed to Minnesota are met, the Vikings will have moved back two rounds in next year's draft and one round in 2027's draft to acquire the single year remaining on the 35-year-old receiver's contract. This is fine business. The Vikings' receiver depth will be tested early this season, as WR3 speedster Jalen Nailor recovers from a hand injury and WR2 Jordan Addison serves a three-game suspension. Depth receiver Rondale Moore had a season-ending knee injury early this offseason, leaving rookie Tai Felton and veteran Tim Jones as the depth behind Justin Jefferson to start the season. Thielen should slot right into a familiar offense and provide a good safety blanket for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who needs strong early performances in September to boost his confidence and generate some positive momentum. I like the deal a lot for that reason: McCarthy won't spend the first three starts of his NFL career endeavoring to make up for bad receiver play. This is actually a bigger risk for the Panthers than it appears. From Week 8 on last season -- the stretch in which quarterback Bryce Young came back and looked solid -- Thielen was the Panthers' best receiver. Sure, guys like Jalen Coker and Ja'Tavion Sanders were having breakout games, and the backs were getting involved as pass catchers, but it was Thielen who drove the ship. Thielen averaged 2.47 yards per route run in that stretch, which was the 14th best number in the NFL. He also caught 80% of his targets when Coker and Xavier Legette caught 63.2% and 56.4%, respectively. Thielen was so valuable that the Panthers gave him a raise in March worth $1.5 million to encourage him to stave off retirement. The drafting of first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan always foretold a decrease in target share for Thielen. But keeping Thielen around for another year would have helped smooth the transition. Now the Panthers enter the season with a starting receiver trio (McMillan, Coker and Legette) full of big-play potential but no proven chemistry with Young over the middle of the field. That's an important cornerstone of the Panthers' offensive system that needs replacing. -- Solak
