Show up at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Monday, on a holiday week, with no appointment, not know the name of the company you're at and ask for specific information about projects and ask for a tour.

 

 

Yeah... that didn't go so well for the young fellow.

 

I thought it showed initiative :(

 

Also you dress funny.

It struck you wrong because it is wrong. That's not initiative, it is ignorant, and presumptuous.

I had a feeling you'd feel that way. :)

I wasn't rude to him but I made it clear that he would be getting no tour or much info.

If you're genuinely interested in what we do, call or email me and I'd gladly make time (at my convenience) to give you some info even if we're not hiring (we're not).

I'm just not much on being interrupted. Whether you're selling something or what... Call me and if I'm interested I'll let you know. Better yet, email me... A local IT company sent me an email solicitation recently, and not only did they get a meeting with me, they've done over $3000 worth of business with us since.

We're a small company yes... And our door is open, but my time is valuable... Would you expect to walk in a large company and immediately talk to the CEO in person? No, you'd make an appointment or talk to HR first...

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

      Honestly, I'll probably just tap out if it happens. Tune in again some time down the road if we ever jerk our head out of our ass as a franchise.

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.
