I'm pretty pumped although I probably overpaid for tickets, but wanted to get locked in. Bought them on stub hub.

Also booked game 2 tickets on Saturday, and should be able to wrangle up Panthers tickets for Thursday night game. Just booked 4 night stay at Hyatt House right next to TWC Arena for a sports loaded long weekend.

Plus a little Halloween action in downtown Charlotte on Friday. Already told the wife she is getting a naughty maid costume and I am getting one of those penis costumes and we are going clubbing like it was 1999. She shot that idea down pretty quickly unfortunately.

We are pretty excited about it, and for the trip she just ordered a Luke Kuechly jersey because I am pretty sure she wants to fug him. Which I am weirdly okay with.

Maybe I will run into some of you guys and you can buy me a beer. ;)

BTW tickets are outrageous, I am pretty sure I paid at least double for what they are worth.

But i just wanted to make sure I got em, and then could book the hotel we like.

Hyatt House looks like it is almost attached to TWC arena. It is so close, they only have 3 rooms available at this point

Well that makes a lot of sense why it looks like it then lol.

I know we went last year and didn't even know that it was like that. We knew it was close, but not like that. When we went to the game we were like "holy poo it is like 50 yards from the hotel!!" Didn't know it was literally attached though. That is the only place we will stay to go to the Bobcats/Hornets games.

I'm going to be there for the opener and do have a nice plan for the night. I'm trying to wait it out and see if I can get a few tickets from the team. Roaring do you have an opportunity to buy a block? If so I definitely think there are 24 of us who would attended with you.

Season ticket holder presale for opening night allows you to buy tickets in groups of 25 or more starting at 85 per ticket.  So all in all, around 100ish isn't bad.  If you can grab them for that now, I wouldn't hesitate.  They won't get any easier from this point most likely.

I bought some when they were $59. Sounds like they're up to $80ish now. I can inquire about buying another block but I'm not gonna chase people down for money, so if there are 25 interested then I would do that for you guys. But it sounds like the face value is going to be comparable to what you can get on the secondary market right now. But I'm open to helping if I can.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
