Katie Peralta Retweeted Avery Wilks

curious if @Harpootlian4SC or other lawmakers skeptical of the projected benefit have mentioned the jock tax (https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article227793404.html )- salaries of highly paid employees who travel (players) are taxed in states where games are played (1/2 games are at home, aka in NC. None in SC)

NEW: In a strange twist to the @panthers tax break saga, Dem Sen. @Harpootlian4SC hired an economist who evaluated the deal and believes the Commerce Department's economic impact numbers are exaggerated. Harpootlian says he'll continue to block the bill https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article229073114.html

A delegation of Panthers, including head coach Ron Rivera and VP of development Mark Hart, some players (and I guess Sir Purr) are at the S.C. capitol today to get introduced in the House and Senate as well as meet with SC governor McMaster.

Just read that article.  The Commerce Dept report factored in ALL employees moving to SC, which I think it nuts.  Sounds like they got a little over zealous with the numbers.  Still though, 1.1 billion is a pretty big impact to the State.

I believe the economic impact was grossly overstated. 

That is nothing unusual in this day and age of economic buffalo hunting. Kudos to the SC state senator who hired an independent economist to check all the figures. Research should always beat salesmanship.

Saw the Cat Cruiser heading south on 77 this morning!  Wonder if RR was riding shotgun?

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
