Location. It's gonna be right off exit 5 on i85. Kings Mountain leaders have been pushing hard for this for a few years now. And supposedly KM is getting a new power company that is gonna be just on the other side of 85 from the casino. And they have already started the grading for it. 

I live about 2 miles off exit 5. I'm gonna get to see this take place every day.  It's amazing the house across the street from proposed casino site went up for sale a few months ago wonder what they asking for it?

So, what's in Kings Mountain that would attract such a place?

And why a film studio when most of the film industry left NC when McCrory took away the tax incentives?

It's an in house deal that supposedly builds back the incentives. From what i understand the budget shortfall was so vast they had to cut the tax credits. I personally like the tax incentives as a loss leader to have that industry here. Hopefully it blows back up.

A new giant casino project is being built in the city next to my hometown up in Massachusetts, it was a crime ridden dump before, now it will be a bigger crime ridden dump with lots of neon advertising it.

and here I was thinking that stretch of 74 between 85 and the end of Shelby couldn't get any worse...

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.

      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.

      Ocho Cinco loves one of our CBs

      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.
