McCown to CJ : “Maybe when you move to Charlotte”

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.

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.

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.

Also, Charlotte has plenty of engrained disparity. Plenty. Let's not pretend that it doesn't.

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 .

Wild how a topic can go from speculation of what a coach may be saying to how much Charlotte sucks.

I love the panthers but a game at BOA will never amount to a Canes home game at PNC. NHL playoffs are on a different level and Raleigh delivers every single time the Canes have a home game. Raleigh delivers regardless. Canes have the second highest attendance in the league. 

Still amazed how quickly it went from not being able to give tickets away to now. 
Still need to go to a game.

People will hear whatever they want to hear - there is no 'v' anywhere in what McCown said. I am a bit surprised, for the better however, that no one seems to care about Stroud saying he was going to take McCown's money. Seems like the type of thing that clickbait internet clowns would find a ludicrous way to be all over.

I thought that was a really cool exchange. It shows the potential connection those 2 could have. Not that it wouldn’t be the same with any of the other prospects. McCown just seems like a good dude.

I drive all over this state for work. There are some pretty diverse spots. The Raleigh/Charlotte debate is weird for me. Charlotte became what it did despite the politics in Raleigh. Quite the feat. As for Gastonia, it's growing right along with every other town in this state. Belmont is quite the jewel over there, however. But glad to call Concord home. 

[OceanPanther]

Yeah, he did say " when you're in Charlotte "  .  

What that means is,, he'll be drafted by Texas or Indy and they both play on Charlotte this coming season..

We're going to convince Bo Nix , Oregon , to come out early and draft him #1 .   Or Draft Drake Maye and get him to sigh in late Dec when his time at college will have run it's course .

( I bet Josh tells Bryce Young the same thing today  hahaha )

It seemed to me when josh did his underdog vids, his clear favorite was CJ Stroud. 

I may be wrong, but there wasnt a AR vid, i doubt hed change. 

Smartest pick is Coleridge Bernard "C. J." Stroud IV and thats what should be on the card turned in. 

I regularly watch the Underdogs videos. They were planning to do an AR vid, but they couldnt because he got hired by the Panthers.... so yea, change of plans. But he definitely has a soft spot for CJ.
