Seriously those places you mentioned are surrounded by incredible crime.  IMO Charlotte is not much different than a Chicago.  Everything smells terrible and there is filth and garbage everywhere.  I can’t imagine anyone really wanting to move their family here.  Me and the wife are planning a beach move asap

As I drove to work today there was someone with a help me sign on every single corner.  

Wow you're a real pillar of the community jeez

Raleigh is the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the entire country.

At one time Charlotte was one of the fastest growing cities in the country.  What you hate about Charlotte will happen to Raleigh,a biggish city with no identity.  Like how no one is from Charlotte, no one will be from Raleigh as well.

MCCown is the only person I trust evaluating QBs to be honest and that’s not really saying anything. I have no idea if he will be a good evaluator but that unknown beats what we do know -

Tepper and Rhule’s GM both inept/little to zero experience, Reich has made god awful QB evaluations based on religion…

Hell I even trust Morgan more than any of them. I hope Brown has some say as well.

People who hate on those cities aren’t too aware of what other cities are like. Those with history/culture/character also have a lot of issues that come with that diversity such as engrained disparity. Lots of raff. Some don’t want to deal with that. As I get older and have lived just about in every mid to large city, both Raleigh and Charlotte are fantastic, above average cities to settle down for those over the age of 30.

I drove to work today down 29 / Tryon Street and let me tell you…it is flat out slums.  I lived here in the 80s and Charlotte was a small up and up and coming city.  Charlotte is a big city now.  The poverty and slums all over the place are disturbing.  Charlotte is not a nice place

I can't believe you have to look at poor people. It must be so difficult. Hang in there

Having lived in a third world country, I can tell you that you have never seen slums before.

It still is one of the fastest growing cities. It's 6th to Raleigh's 2nd.

Anyhow, I also have traveled and lived in a lot of different cities around the country. I never said that Charlotte was a bad city, or any of the cities in the state. It's just very generic feeling. Like if an AI was asked to create a city or something. It's a fine place to live. I live in the Charlotte metro area on Lake Norman by choice so it's not like it hate it or anything. It's quite lovely. I just don't think it's like some comparably amazing city to the majority.

Back to the topic, if you combine McCown's comment (if he said "live") and the fact that Houston was not really there in full force, it tells me a few things:

1. The Texans think the Panthers will go with Stroud and they are not buying the Panther smokescreen.  Maybe they wanted to seem disinterested in Stroud to lure the Panthers into trading--hoping they would assume the Texans want young.  Could be some chess moves going on here--or not.

2. The Panthers probably have Stroud #1 on their board, at least #1 on McCown's board

3.  The comment, if reflective of discussions with the staff, suggests that the combine, interviews, and pro day suggests that he "checks all the boxes".

4. If Stroud "checks all the boxes" then there is no way Young can impress enough to get the job because he is 5'10" and probably will be for a while.  5" of height and somewhere around 15-20 lbs of weight is significant if the players are otherwise pretty equal.

Texans arent going to Young's either. Its just their stance on Pro Days as a whole.

Charlotte has indeed gotten rough it's a shame. But part of the problem with that here and across the country is due to a number of reasons. Many Americans need to do some soul searching. The American value system now is the worst it's ever been. Everything is me me me I want I want fancy 500k and up condos everywhere fancy and or enormous new cars suvs and trucks that cost upwards of 100k and affordable housing gone. So many want to live well beyond their means. Eventually the chickens will come home to roost on all this .
