  1. This is true too. If you're not gonna have a good OL, you better have a good checkdown/dump off option. We have the best one in the league.
  2. We'll see. It's possible. He comes into the NFL with very similar height/weight numbers to Tom Brady though and Brady sure didn't have an issue with longevity. The Jets are definitely gonna have to protect him better than they did last Sunday though. That's for sure. Brett Favre would've had trouble making it through a season of 17 of those.
  3. You didn't see more arm talent? Better movement ability in the pocket? Darnold has a good arm, don't get me wrong and he can run a little bit. But Wilson has that short area shiftiness and that flick of the wrist send it 30 yards on a rope ability that is very rare, even among elite NFL QB talent.
  4. If you watched that game and didn't come away thinking that Wilson was definitely the more talented QB but in a far worse overall team situation, then I don't know what to tell ya. I thought Darnold played decently well. He didn't panic. That was the big thing. He missed some easy passes that would've resulted in TDs but that's something that can be worked on. But those elite traits Wilson showed at the college level? Yeah, they translated. He basically looks like a more slippery in the pocket bigger armed Joe Burrow. Put Wilson on the Panthers and Darnold on the Jets and that scoreboard is very lopsided.
  5. Oh, it's not even close. Anyone who would even attempt to argue otherwise just doesn't know.
  6. Good for him. He looked good out there. I hope he keeps it up.
  7. Don't fug with wrestlers. Especially don't fug with wrestlers from the corn belt states.
  8. Completely illogical is thinking that a super analytical businessman who sees his net worth as keeping score in life isn't looking for every dollar he can possibly get. Hence laying off low paid workers during a fuging pandemic.
  9. I made it to #481. When I saw "Pancho and Lefty" at #498 and "Cross Road Blues" at #481 that was enough for me.
  10. When you make roster decisions based on "versatility" but the player himself is telling you he feels much more comfortable on the left side then proceeds to play like trash on the right side.. yeah, not a good look.
  11. It's not a rivalry because it's no contest. The "rivalry" attitude comes almost entirely from the SC side of the border. It's like the UNC/NCSU rivalry. Of course UNC fans want to beat state, but to state it's their everything. If they beat UNC it was a successful season.
  12. I don't think he has any desire to actually relocate the team but if that's the threat he has to make to fleece Charlotte out of the money for a new stadium he'll absolutely play that card.
  13. Let's all marinate in the delicious irony of this post.
  14. Well, I mean you can't exactly put meth production and pill pushing on the official list of economic contributors.
  15. He fired Hurney and Rivera. Other than that... yeah, the jury is definitely out.
  16. Rural for sure but I wouldn't say economically agrarian. I would probably just leave it at plain old economically depressed, like most of the rest of southern Appalachia.
  17. Boone is a football town though due to App State. Kinda like how the Hornets rode the coattails of tobacco road basketball in NC. Boone is a lot different than most of WNC.
  18. No bullshit, Jameis is a dangerous QB. It's just that no one knows which Jameis is gonna show up. The one that's dangerous for the opponent or the one that's dangerous for his own team. But trust and believe, one way or the other a dangerous QB is taking the field.
  19. I would honestly just ban your whining ass if I didn't think it would actually be a liberation for you. All you ever do is whine about other people actually having opinions on things. Any time you spend here has to be miserable for you and that actually comforts me.
  20. Makes sense to me. The one thing billionaires want more than anything else is to add another zero to their bank account.
  21. NC by and large has always been a college sports town except for early on in during the time of the Hornets and that was highly likely just feeding off the popularity of college basketball in the state. I can't even remember meeting anyone who gave a single flying fug about the NBA in over a decade.
  22. Take your time and heal up. Take ALL the time you need.
  23. The other guys suck equally at everything. I guess that's still "versatile".
  24. Yeah, our OL wasn't very good but the Jets' OL was barely present. They're either REALLY bad or our DL us considerably better than I expected and I expected it to be pretty good. Maybe it's a bit of both.
  25. Seems to me that Rhule's goal was to become an NFL HC. Had he wanted to be a powerhouse program college HC, he could've stayed put at Baylor and waited for that opportunity.
