Wonder if anyone is still waiting on their sold out Bryce Jersey, probably could check the dumpster at your local sports bar.

Never, ever, ever, ever.......ever....buy a rookies jersey. I will extend that and say never buy the jersey of a player still on a rookie deal.

The last jerseys I purchased were Cam/TD/Luke/Olsen.

I pondered CMC but thankfully passed. The only players worthy of that now would be Brown and Luvu. Even then, I would only do so after a new deal was signed.

More likely I am off all team merchandise until Tepper comes out of the basement and learns how to be an owner.

IDK if we are gonna get good data on that. They won't give the numbers.

I am guessing around 12-15% capacity.

They might not even get that many people in the stadium if it's really coming down. Watching two good teams play in the rain is one thing, watching the Panthers and another bad team is something else entirely. This game may make that App State game yesterday look like an all time classic.

Do they still count PSL holders as tickets sold regardless if they show or not?  I agree that the official attendance will be higher than actual butts in seats.

Only rookie jersey I ever bought was DeAngelo Williams, and I wore it to our game against the Browns his rookie year where he got rolled up on and sprained his ankle.  So yeah it's a hard pass for me too.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
