I'll just say I don't remember much about being 23. Not even sure where I was living then. 

 

Likewise.

Look, he was obviously being dumb and he got caught. It's nothing crazy. Just being dumb. If he keeps being dumb, it's a problem. He's a kid, he is allowed to have at least 1-2 relatively minor dumbs. 

Better than being dumb and killing someone(recent Las Vegas incidents).

Reminds me of a few years back. When the players were released from training camp (2011) One was pulled for speeding (and was puffing a "fat one" while doing so) in Rowan County 0n I-85. Allegedly, when asked by the officer what he did for a living the player replied "well I WAS a Carolina Panther".

Agree 100%… when I was 23 I was making bad decisions.  I still am, but I was then, too.  Victimless crimes don’t deserve to be judged the same.  Dude was driving around with some weed and a gun.  Who cares… I know people (average citizens) who drive with that every day

That's the bigger head scratcher for me. I've done a lot of dumb things, but managed to keep away from situations where I thought... "Dude, I sure wish I had a gun now." If you find yourself heading into those situations, might be a good time to change direction.

Let’s be fair to the world climate today but in general that’s a very fair statement.

I mean if you're in a land that just got invaded by Putin, you might have an argument. Here in the US.... there's not really a need for it.  Every other country in the northern hemisphere seems to be doing ok without them.

Stuff happens. I know a dude who was moving and loading up the van in broad daylight. This was back in December. He was approached by a guy who started chatting him up in a friendly manner. They talked a few minutes until the stranger pulls out a gun and started pistol whipping the guy I know. My friend was knocked down but was able to grab the pistol he had on him and shoot the perp. The perp got in his car and drove a few blocks before he died. People in general are targets, guys with money and fame more so.

I’m not a right wing huge 2nd amendment guy, but it’s not uncommon for people (at least where I live) to have guns on their hip and it’s within their rights to do so.  Don’t always need to be in a dangerous situation to have a gun with you.  This is more of a red tape/bureaucracy thing than anything (aside from the speeding) + weed is legal in so many places around the US.  It’s dumb that he was arrested for this

i'm used to seeing it as well.  why would you need to, though? why would you want to? there's very little need for anything like that unless you are putting yourself into those situations in which case you just need to stop being in those situations. and if you do feel for some reason that you might need one....at least do it the right way and get it registered and get your ccl. 

weed shouldn't have been an issue (the fact that it is is dumb on it's own), but it is an issue and because it is an issue....don't be dumb with it. don't get caught with it. if you've got it, don't do anything dumb to draw attention to yourself just in case. 

he's learning....i hope. tough lessons to learn, but it could have been worse.

Well said. I’m all for second chances.  I’m a fifty year old guy but I was in my 20s once.  I did a lot of stupid poo when I was young and never got caught.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I see both sides of the arguments, but compared to last year we're somehow at an upgrade over completely fried Dalton and wasn't even good in college Plummer. At least Pickett and Grier probably have some desire to make more money when Dalton was happy to just go through the motions and I will never understand why they even bothered with Plummer.

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
