Look, I know you're backed up deep in your own territory and it's 4th and 10 but down two TDs with only one timeout and 6 minutes to go you have to make a choice. Do you want to try to win the game but risk getting blown out by going for it or do you want to try to make sure the final score looks respectable but basically ensure you lose by punting? Clemson chose the latter

You don't get to replay the game in that moment. It is what it is. You're trailing 28-24 with six minutes to go and only one timeout and it's 4th and 10 from your own 20. Shitty situation but it is what it is. If you punt, you've lost. If you go for it and don't get it you've lost. If you go for it and you get it you're probably still gonna lose but at least you've given yourself a legit fighting chance.

You can't punt there if you're actually trying to give yourself a chance to win versus just trying to save face and not have the final score look like a skull dragging.

I can see TCU having a chance, but I think Stroud gets further exposed tonight. UGA is going to pressure him all game long and he doesn't do well under pressure.

Definitely looking forward to seeing Stroud play UGA's D. If he struggles again it definitely adds a lot of fuel to my suspicion that he might be a guy that has to be surrounded by talent that is simply superior to his opposition. That just doesn't happen in the NFL. Sure, some teams are obviously better than others but the talent gap is a lot smaller than what you see in college when powerhouse teams face off against non-powerhouse teams.

Here’s to Stroud dropping to our 2nd round pick! Highly improbable, but I can’t still root for it. 
 

I was thinking last night what it might take to get the Texans off #1 for Young. Would they go for Burns + 2 1sts? Probably not. Not sure I’d want that anyway with Darnold playing decent and the 2024 crop of QBs looking strong.

I'm not opposed to going all in on a QB like that. I just don't see anyone in this class is be willing to go all in on. They all have warts. That's not to say one or more won't be great NFL QBs. All the best young QBs currently in the league all had warts. I just can't rationalize making an all in move on one.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
