Need some advice. 

Banging the wife to TNF this week (coming in mid day Thursday)

bringing my 5 year old son (his first BOA Panthers game) in November 2 (coming in Saturday)

im staying uptown for both trips. 

Was thinking maybe Carowinds for my son (is it too cold early November?)

Im a @RoaringRiot member, so I know that I’ll bring my wife to TNF tailgate. 

Thanks in advance

I hope your 5 year old son likes breweries...

Carowinds shouldn't be too cold in early November, but it's only open on the weekends, fyi. 

Downtown, there's Discovery Place, which should hold a 5 year old's attention well enough for a few hours. There's also the Nature Museum down at Freedom Park. Loved that place as a kid. It's about a mile outside of center city, so a quick Uber trip. 

Charlotte is mainly known for it's breweries, massive apartment complexes and for tearing down historic buildings. You can see all three all along the Light Rail system, either in Southend or NoDa. NoDa has more entertainment options, but Southend has axe throwing, so...

If you're going to be in town this weekend, I'd do something like dinner at the Crunkleton, over in the Elizabeth neighborhood. Another quick Uber out of downtown. Get the 36 oz tomahawk ribeye to share. They have great cocktails too. They just started serving weekend brunch, which I would assume is amazing based on everything else I've eaten there.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
