Y'all are crazy with this Charlotte is bigger than Atl nonsense and using actual "within city limit" metrics is fuging stupid. The Atlanta Metro area is almost 3 times larger than Charlotte's.

Atl Metro ~7 million people

Cha Metro ~2.6 million

The Panthers fanbase comes from two entire states. The NFL views the Falcons fanbase as the Atlanta metro area, which as Floppin typed, dwarfs the Charlotte metro area. So yes, the actual city proper of Charlotte is bigger than the city proper of Atlanta ... but that's not what the NFL cares about. The Panthers won't move, but they easily could. The NFL doesn't need them there.

Eh, that's a different argument. The actual TV market size for the Panthers is in the top 10 in the NFL.

Here comes the billionaire city shakedown for corporate welfare

Please explain to me what large businesses don't do this.  ( receive incentives from a state, city , county , etc )  It's been going on for years and will so in the future.  But for some reason if a professional team does it, it's a shakedown or fleecing . 

State of SC trying to keep BMW happy . 70 million.   This goes on everywhere , when large businesses are involved.  Do you really think all the banking interest in Charlotte just decided to move to Charlotte without incentives ??

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
