I don't think he's legitimately in the mix for the first pick, but I could understand why they'd be interested in him.

I don't want him, but I do think he'll be the best pro out of this crappy class.

Also, I'd be really surprised if he, Hurney or anyone else definitively ruled anyone out as a possibility.

Sure he does, he's got his poker face on right now... what he's really saying is: if you like Mallett, call me.

i don't see it that way. i don't think ANYONE is liking mallett enough to call about the #1. Now if they want gabbert or newton, and they know we like mallet enough to trade down and take him later, then this is to let teams know we're open for business.

You never know... look at how much did Denver gave up to jump up and grab The Golden Calf of Bristol :out:

I do.

Wouldn't be my choice either, but like I said in the other thread, what we see from guys like Mike mayock and Mel Kiper has no bearing on the Panthers. Their scouting department may grade Ryan Mallett higher than any of us think.

I think it is hard to believe for the number 1 pick. I think this is for a situation we trade down or trade back into the second round if he is available and we don't pick a QB number 1.

You may be right but it is hard to believe when there are reports out there like this:

Per CBS Sports:

"Multiple sources inside the league" tell CBSSports.com that Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett is viewed as no better than a borderline first-round prospect.

Mallett is "very much fighting just to stay in the first round," the sources say. Panthers coach Ron Rivera recently suggested Mallett was one of his team's targets at No. 1 overall, but the coachspeak can't be taken seriously. All in all, we'd be surprised if Mallett was drafted in the top 25.

I think this is bs personally and still think he is off the board much higher than he is being projected. But number 1 is hard to believe.

You never know though, you could be right. :confused:

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
