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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.

      Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
