Charlotte...Not a football city?

A Charlotte resident who also played in 185 consecutive games, has a nice bust in the Hall of Fame, and has been involved in with the NFL for what...almost 40 years now. I am pretty sure he is more qualified to know what a football city is than most.

 

Good for him, so how does he explain 100+ consecutive sell out games in a non-football city? 

 

It's also important to keep in mind that we wouldn't have a team or a stadium if folks in this non-football city were not willing to plunk down money for PSL's. Did the residents of Cleveland and Buffalo have to make a significant direct investment to get a team?

That's debatable.

At least you were one of the Ohioites smart enough to get out of that Godforsaken place. Kudos to you for doing it before Lebron made it cool.

Raised on Dean Smith and Bobby Knight as the best coaches of all time. Intelligence and discipline. Both were and are kings. ACC and Big Ten. Good battles, and they continue year in and year out.

I'm a football man. Can't debate the bball. I'll concede that. Lebron can take his talents wherever the $ flows, or to a college of higher institution where they make up classes and provide passing grades to the athletes that attend those made up classes to ensure their team gets bounced in the early rounds of the NCAA tourney each year. I really couldn't care less.

Sure does sound like you care.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
