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.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
