What a sad little party they are having together.

I mean, I get it. An event that has always been free is now $5 to get in. So I'm not surprised that people's first reaction is to be upset. But at the end of the day if you choose not to go to Fan Fest because you don't want to donate $5 to charity, then yeah you're exactly right it's pretty sad.

If the event was still a few thousand people it would be free still. It's a simple matter of thinking about the logistics as several people have noted. When you do that  it's obvious something had to change. When you refuse to think you get responses like theirs.

Yep - I'll take having to pay $5 for a good team with interesting players that people want to actually come out see vs. the way it used to be when only a few thousand went. These are just growing pains. Which ,in my opinion, are great problems to have.

Knew this would happen after seeing scalpers in the streets last year. My fiancés mother spent 4 hours online refreshing so some of us could actually go and enjoy it while you have these ass clowns profiting from something they could care less about. Per usual, a few morons ruin something special for everyone else.

I mean....hypothetically if they were going to charge I'm sure it would be a small amount and for a good cause. 

Nice save.

Yep - exactly. 

And the show at the end of practice alone is worth the $5 charity donation to get in. Let's all think here before overreacting. 

$5 admission confirmed lol

How is charging $5 a ticket (hypothetically) going to stop people from reserving blocks and scalping them?

Before, there was no effort or outlay to get tickets. The scum that would try to scalp free tickets don't have 30 bucks.

I'd charge 10, but you get a free drink in a commemorative cup once inside.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
