Love how it’s 3 weeks from game 1 of the regular season and we are talking about naming our starting QB and OL and letting them gel. Really setting these guys up for success.

Unfortunately rhule thinks he’s still in the big 12 circa 2016 🤷‍♂️

Lol, you guys just don't get it. 

This decision was already made long before now and the team already knew it. All the signs were there if you read body language and other signs like RA asking Baker for extra reps. He already knew.

The reason for this fake QB competition is simple. 

FREE PUBLICITY!!!

It's called marketing. It is a business and like all businesses advertising is important. Free advertising is priceless. 

Can you not see how many shows and articles were about the Panthers specifically BECAUSE of this so-called competition? We were talked about by everyone for weeks on all the major and minor shows. That's free advertising. 

It's genius if you are smart enough to see it. If not I can't help you. I can only lead you to water. I can't make you drink it.

There's good marketing and bad marketing. Making yourself look like a clown show is bad marketing.

Outside of Bozeman's injury and potentially LG, the starting OL is actually set.  Ickey, BC/Jordan, Bozeman, Corbett and Moton.  I don't think Brown, Tecklenburg, Horton or Erving is pushing for a starting spot.  Elflein may get the nod at center until Bozeman is healthy again.  Mays is good depth but isn't taking Corbett of Moton's job on the right side.  Camp competition is over, let the 1's all run together and get some continuity.

So, if I understand your theory correctly, we took away valuable training camp reps from our starter in order to get talked about on stuff like GMFB?

That doesn't seem like a real smart idea.

You know a great way to get all those shows to talk about you long after the doldrums of the offseason? Winning.

Hey it worked for the My Pillow guy really well didn't it. Any publicity is good for business.

Except you're wrong. The only ones calling us a clown show are around here. Many of those shows were talking about our improved roster and how Baker could take this teams to the playoffs. That's good marketing. It's genius.

Dabo just sits around and comes up w/ corny nonense and sells the hell out of it.  Somehow it works.  I no longer question how it does.    It's a mystery I quit debating long ago.  

and Dabo would be an utter failure as a NFL coach.  Yet is a modern day college GOAT.   His strengths don't translate.  And that's okay.  I still say Rhule is a knock off Dabo. 

I'm curious to see how things go with Venables leaving. IMO, he was the best football mind on that staff. Dabo can flat out recruit his ass off so I don't think Clemson is going to the dregs anytime soon but I wonder if they're still going to be perennial national title contenders minus Venables.

I'm curious in the bigger picture.  Clemson does a good job of having guys learn underneath to take over. 

Clemson's DL talent this year is great.  Pending they stay healthy, anyone should look good with that talent.  It will be interesting if they can get guys in without Venables and what the new guy does with his own recruits.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By hepcat · Posted

      Is right now the worst time in the history of Charlotte pro sports? The Hornets (formerly Bobcats) have been a dumpster fire since rejoining the NBA 20 years ago. The Panthers were a respectable but frustrating team before David Tepper bought the team, but now they are easily the worst team in the NFL. Charlotte only has 2 sports teams so it's unfair to compare to every other city in the country with a Big 4 pro sports team, because when you have all 4 of even 3, you tend to have one franchise that ends up being successful. If we're taking into account the Hurricanes and ranking NC's pro sports teams as a whole, the Hurricanes make everything look better in NC pro sports. But just taking into account cities with an NFL and NBA team, and excluding their respective NHL and MLB teams, in the last 5 years, Charlotte easily takes the crown for the worst city for pro sports. The only other city coming close is Detroit since the Pistons have been awful, but the Lions were in the NFC Championship last year and should probably have made it to the Superbowl if it weren't for some questionable coaching decisions. Indianapolis could be mentioned because the Colts and Pacers have had a somewhat rough go the last 5 years, but both the Colts and Pacers have had more recent success than either the Panthers or Hornets. Sadly enough I think the Panthers have a better shot at success than the Hornets since the NBA is structured more towards star player driven success and the NFL is a team driven sport where there is more parity year to year. But I'm fairly confident this level of misery will continue for some time.
