We are trying to think of a place to do a long weekend in late Sept or early Oct.

Any destination ideas? I'm tired of Savannah and Charleston.

Only requirements is it must be within 7 hours of Charlotte, have stuff to do and nice lodging available.

Few things I can recommend for Annapolis: Go down by the bay. The boats are incredible, cute little shops, right there on the water. Go to a Navy football game on a Saturday if you'd like. That's where the Naval Academy is, so sailors are always down walking especially by the harbor. There's a walking ghost tour we went on thru down town Annapolis that was a lot of fun.

Get some Maryland seafood. It's some of the best in the U.S.

And the only other piece of advice I can give you is to stay as far away from Baltimore as you possibly can. That city is trash.

Anyone gone to Blowing Rock and having any lodging tips or must do activities? I've been searching for stuff online and am just tired of researching stuff.

Go over to Linville falls and hike down into there. Its absolutely beautiful. Totally worth it once you get there too.

My parents have a house up there and its awesome.

Also, if you are near Linville, go to Grandfather Mtn and hike up to the swinging bridge, not good if you don't like heights, but an absolutely great view.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
