Would Charlotte Support The Tampa Rays?

Charlotte is one of the worst sports towns in the country. They would be retarded to move here.

What is your proof to back up your statement? Why did the NBA want to replace the Hornets so quickly after they left?

I think Charlotte would have sold out that game if one of their team was about to clinch a playoff spot.

It's not a bad sports town, it's just young. We haven't quite had the time (or winning consistency in the teams) to develop our own identity. Charlotte is still primarily in its first and second generation of fans.

As for the Rays in Charlotte, they'd be no better off here than in Tampa (though we could give them a baseball-friendly climate and a nicer park.) If you think its tough trying to develop a Rays fanbase there, take a look at the 47-page Atlanta Braves thread...

That's not even counting the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and other large MLB fan contingencies found in NC.

      I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.

      The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
