I dont take hurricanes lightly and have had some pretty big rows with folk who minimize them.

 

This is going to be brutal on the Fla coast.

Im exhausted by the weather people in the triad trying to scare everyone into believing this is going to be anything more than a bad storm.

 

And I didnt say apocalyptic. Ed Mathews did

So is this your definition of just another storm?

 

Just looking at the pictures it looks pretty significant.

 

*43 people dead from this storm so far...

In Greensboro, this was just another storm

They said earlier today that the dam at lake lure was going to collapse but it didnt

They canceled school in areas that just got rain

They preempted regular programming to scare people into thinking that a hurricane was going to hit High Piont but it didnt

Debby was worse but they wanted us to think this was going to be an apocalypse

 

 

You're not understanding that Im annoyed by the ramped up "the sky is falling" way they are treating this weather event.

 

This is why people dont believe weather forecasters when it really is going to be bad

So 43 people died as of right now and you think that wasn't a big deal?

 

Cold world!

43 in NC?  Someone should tell Roy Cooper he just said 3.

 

Youre doing exactly what I talking about

The hurricane is 1 system. Do you realize we weren't the only state affected?

 

A loss of life is always serious. 3 people died today because of this storm. That's a big deal. Asheville is literally flooded. People will be without power for multiple days. All this is a big deal.

 

Just because your area didn't get hit hard doesn't mean everyone else did.

I realize that.

 

Do you realize that's part of their job? It's better to expect the worst than not expect much. They just want people to be safe. I have no idea why you're so upset about that lol

Ive stated it quite clearly.

Im irritated over the hyperbolic coverage.  Im not worked over the national coverage or the coverage of the aftermath but the talk of the anticipated widespread devastation 500+ miles from where it came ashore and 100 miles from the path is ridiculous.

Who cares? You're not forced to watch them lol. I mean, better safe than sorry. Maybe them using scare tactics will keep morons off the roads. Big deal, it wasn't catastrophic like they said it would be. Isn't that a good thing?

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
