From http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/, Rivera: Panthers looking at more than QBs

Echoing what he said at the NFL combine last month, Rivera mentioned the Panthers have zeroed in on about eight prospects. He said three of those targets are quarterbacks – Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Mallett – but not all.

Asked if Gabbert and Newton, considered by draft experts as the top quarterbacks in the draft, were on a different level than Mallett, Rivera responded: “I wouldn't necessarily say that. Because as far as throwing the ball, you've really got to evaluate each guy's strengths and weaknesses.

“And the other thing: There's other positions were looking at, too.”

...

“We have a number of positions that we've identified as needs. We're trying to get to that point where we can start filling those needs as the time is appropriate,” Rivera said. “If you can fill a need through free agency, we're going to do it. If we have to go through the draft, we'll do it. If we've got to make a trade, we'll do it.”

Food for thought. I think his dancing around the question about Mallett, Gabbert, and Newton is interesting... because if you're focusing only on throwing the ball, Mallett may just be the best out of three.

Ryan Mallett? at one........man if he got picked at number one he would snort all the cocaine in north carolina

Who ever said JR didn't care about the community? Hell, he cares about the entire state apparently, taking drugs out of the hands of residents across the state!

Also, anyone who says that Newton is getting hit the hardest with 'character assassination' bullshit needs to read this post, haha.

Something thing that got my attention seems to be they're keeping the possibility open not only to trade down a few, but maybe to mid round-1 for a few additional picks in the draft. Maybe we could get a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd for the #1 overall & one of our 6s. We could get a QB, DT, & CB by the top of the third. Also, we still have plenty additional picks (2 more 3rds, rest of draft) to add some DL, OL, & DB help. As much as some may want to admit it, we have to somewhat be open to Mallet because you never know what the fug may happen in the draft, especially this one.

Now I'm not a fan of Mallet atm, but anybody can change whether it be Newton, Gabbert, or Mallett both game & attitude wise. This Ryan character may seem dumb as a brick and probably tried coke a few times, but I'm sure he knows what level he's going to and needs to sharpen up and become a student & leader of the game if he truly wants to succeed. Plus, he's shown that he can be a hell of a passer. This is what I hope happens to the kid and I'll try to stay positive and hopeful rather than joking about his drug use and brushing him off like nothing.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
