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:

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
