According to the AP, Coach Rivera was at the Pro Day

The crowd at Missouri's pro day Thursday included Denver Broncos vice president John Elway and coach John Fox, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis and Ron Rivera of the Carolina Panthers, who have the draft's top choice.

Don Banks and Todd McShay said they were not. So who knows.

The thing that bothers me with Gabbert is his college career and abilities remind me A LOT of Jimmy's. I don't trust his decision making and just like Jimmy, he looks great in practice or when there is no pressure but come gametime it's a different story.

It's almost eerie how much the comments about Gabbert sound so much like what people were saying about Clausen last year.

Local paper liked his performance :).

Doesn't mention Rivera in attendance.

There was no shortage of NFL personnel on hand. Head coaches in attendance included Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis, Denver's John Fox, San Francisco's Jim Harbaugh, Tennessee's Mike Munchak and the New York Jets' Rex Ryan.

This is getting weird with the Panthers were/weren't there thing. I'm not gonna put a lot in it I just think it's funny.

So far it seems that most people agree he had a good pro day.

Is that really surprising? Heh.

Rob Rang weighs in. But it appears he wasn't there and based this off of twitter and the AP report.

As expected, the Missouri Pro Day was well attended by NFL decision-makers, including Carolina head coach Ron Rivera, Jets' head coach Rex Ryan, Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, Bengals' head coach Marvin Lewis, and Jaguars' head coach Jack Del Rio.

Shoddy reporting job IMO. And I usually really like Rang a lot.

Mentions Rivera but I am pretty sure he cut and pasted that from the AP report

Not sure that Rang was or wasn't there, but he is quoting people who were. The fact he mentions Aldon Smith at the end makes me think he was tho.

[eViL jEsTeR]

just saying tho...smokescreen or not. If you really think you know who we draft this year I will give you 500 bux.

We're taking Gabbert. I'll let you know after the draft where to send the money.

Not at all. But again everyone is hedging their bets. It is like they aren't sure what to say (just like Cam's pro day BTW). I stick by what I said earlier. He didn't wow or disappoint. He was about what everyone expected him to be.

:o

I will say this, whoever the huddle thinks we are interested in will probably not be drafted. Happens every year.

not necessarily true. 4 years ago i suggested we draft Jon Beason and Dwayne Jarrett, only the sequence was in reverse (I had Jarrett 1st and Beason in the 2nd)
