Found in the story about Ryan Mallett's agent defending him (link)

Adam Schefter of ESPN quotes agent J.R. Carroll as saying that on the night in question, April 8, Mallett had dinner in Charlotte with Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones, and that Mallett headed back to his hotel room when he didn’t feel well.

Anyone wanna stick their tinfoil hats on and ask why Julio Jones was in Charlotte?

(might not be anything meaningful, but it does raise an eyebrow)

Maybe mallett needed someone to throw to when he visited the Panthers?

Maybe Jones spiked malletts gatorade?

no tinfoil hat here, but...

my wife works for one of the larger hotels downtown and said that reps from several teams (Was, Den, etc.) have been in town over the past several weeks. do some teams travel to other parts of the country to view/workout players instead of having the player come to them?

Pro days?

Alabama's pro day was a while back and on their campus, as I recall. I remember because we were paying attention due to Dareus.

Teams do travel to interview prospects, but why travel to Charlotte to interview an Alabama kid?

The question of why Jones would be here is one of those things that make you go "hmmmm" :sosp:

had thought about that too... although from the sounds of it, these have been semi-extended stays. that many schools around here with pro days worth going to?

How far away are UNC/Duke/NCSU from Charlotte, or SC/Clemson for that matter? Depending on if those schools all had their pro days around each other, the teams could've just used Charlotte as a central area.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
