Never been. Going to a concert there Thursday night. Decent tailgating opportunities in the parking area or no? I see people are going to the beer hall to grab a beer to get their parking validated. Seems like a good plan to me. I'd like to smoke a brisket and do a decent spread of food but I just don't know if the parking setup allows for it.

Don't be trying to fight when you're playing Virginia Tech as long as this kid is there. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IRzpOO2FW/

I'd argue yes if you think it was giving you a better shot to realistically land a highly sought after free agent that you really want. In the grand scheme of things, a 5th rounder is basically nothing. Mathematically speaking, you have about a 7% chance of landing a starter in the 5th round.

You have to think about it in terms of trade value. What can you reasonably expect to get on the trade market for a 5th round pick? Certainly not a guy who is going to be a highly sought after free agent.

1st priority: play a lot better All other priorities start somewhere down here. Critiquing Bryce for his quiet laid-back demeanor is like complaining about the color of the front door on a house with a crumbling foundation and holes in the roof. No one is gonna care about Bryce being quiet and laid back if he's playing well and we're winning football games. Quite to the contrary. People will start calling him "the silent assassin" or some other cringy moniker. Just play well and keep your nose clean off the field. All the rest is just bullshit.

Well, that's creepy and gross. But they're both adults and I'm assuming they're both getting what they want out of the deal so whatever.

Drop your dad off curbside then street parking in a local neighborhood.

Even if he is he's probably made a nickel or a dime so far off of Huddle clickthroughs. LOL

I just don't think some guys have it. Darnold has the panic gene. I don't think there's any fixing it. He looks really good as long as the play develops as drawn up or if he gets pressured immediately and has to go to his check down right away. It's when he has decent protection and his first read isn't open and he's standing back there in the pocket with that panic slowly building. That's when he does disastrous poo.

That's how guys like him keep getting opportunities. They have all the talent. They make some plays that leave you clinging to hope that it'll eventually click. They're good guys and great in the locker room. At the end of the day he's never going to be a quality starting NFL QB but he's gonna put a LOT of money in the bank so good for him.

Drafting a RB coming off an ACL tear in the 2nd round was baffling.

Ya gotta think about it, I mean going into FA if there's a player you really want at a premium position just start doing the math. Okay, what are the odds we actually get caught? Okay, the precedent is it'll cost us a 5th IF we get caught and we WANT this guy. Yeah, hit that motherfuger up, let's GO!

The NFL doesn't care about tampering. I mean, if tampering helps you get a FA you really want at the most important position in sports losing a 5th round pick is WELL worth it. That's not going to deter anything. Hell, it might actually ENCOURAGE tampering.

I hope we bring in some kicker off the couch who just absolutely kills it. I mean, I get a guy wanting to get paid his worth. But there are VERY few kickers with actual leverage in this league. He ain't one of them. Pretty much no kicker on one of the worst rosters in the league is one of them. You might make a kick or two that fugs up our draft position. Get lost. LOL At the end of the day, most NFL kickers can be great if they never have to make clutch kicks. When your team is complete ass there are no clutch kicks. Let him go to a contender and we'll find out how good he really is

It doesn't matter if he's quiet and not a rah rah in your face guy. His teammates will respond if he proves he can help them win. Honestly, being super vocal without having proven anything would be more of a negative than a positive. Ain't nobody trying to hear from the second year sales guy who's never hit a quota in his life. STFU and do something before you wanna say something. Just because you can rattle off a bunch of specs doesn't mean poo. It ain't helped you sell anything as far as I can tell.

We got fuged because the NFL forced JR out before they forced Snyder out. Not to defend JR but Snyder absolutely deserved to be the first to go. Tepper had already been hand picked by the good old boys club to be the next admitted so as soon as the Panthers were the first franchise on the block we were doomed. We were jumping on that grenade like it or not.

The NFL forced the team to be sold to David Tepper. It's been all downhill from there. It really is just that simple.

I hope so. The worst case scenario might actually be the most likely scenario. Bryce incrementally improves enough to make us think he might still be able to be a capable starting QB. Not an elite starting QB, but "good enough". I want one or the other. I want him to make a huge leap and having me saying "alright y'all I was wrong, he is HIM" or I want him to just suck ass again and look no better so we all know we have to move on. The danger zone is that gray area in between.

It's funny to call it "latching onto an agenda". All the things I was dragged about leading up to the draft last year about expressing concerns about Bryce and his physical tools and limitations in his game played out on the field last year. The folks latching onto an agenda are the ones who are still trying to convince themselves that his super processing abilities are going to be enough to make up for the long list of physical limitations and footwork that exacerbates them. He has to rebuild his game from the ground up. That's the reality. I hope he can pull it off. That's what would be the best for the Panthers. But I'd be lying if I said I expected it to happen. The most likely situation is that we're all talking 2025 QB prospects by Halloween.

Footwear? LOL Sure, everyone is working on refining their game. Bryce has to rebuild his. There's a difference.

Every team can do this with their picks. We can just do it more than most because we suck. Drafting poorly tends to result in sucking. It took Belichick's years of poor drafting to catch up to the Pats but once Brady was gone and quality vets were no longer willing to come on a ring chasing discount it raised it's ugly head in a major way. Their overall roster is at least as bad as ours. Arguably worse.

I took a look at them for you and the verdict is... unclear. They tout how their product is all natural and how competitors are using harsh solvents, etc. But there's no mention of how they're producing their THC. Can you use CO2 extraction to extract pure natural THC from hemp? Yeah, you can. But at under 3% THC by law, you need a poo ton of hemp to do it and you need very expensive equipment and well trained people to run it. The vast majority of hemp derived THC is used by converting CBD to THC which requires the use of solvents and strong acids. The process can be safely done but of you're doing it while touring your product as being all natural you're not being honest and if you have an all natural product and you're not being specific about your methods I suspect dishonesty.

Then again, if you get into a situation where you need assisted living you're going to chew through a million way faster than you'd think. As long as you can live on your own you can make money go a long way living modestly but assisted living is out-fuging-rageous.

Yeah, "needing" a million plus seems excessive but $50-100k seems low. Somewhere in between is probably the right minimum number for most folks.

They absolutely shouldn't, hence why I keep referring to it as supplementation.
