Apparently, No Name Change Coming

This is all that was written about it, so I guess that's all that needs to be said?

As much as some of you would prefer a name change from the Bobcats, that isn't a widespread concern, based on the team's recent market research. Pete Guelli, who heads the Bobcats' marketing, told me the team's recent market study showed no groundswell for a name change.

Sorry, guys no name change. But if you're feeling nostalgic, the Hornets are still around and are being led by David Stern now. With concerns over them having to move from NO, Im sure the "name change" folks would be welcomed with open arms in that fanbase. Then you could pull for a b-ball team named the HORNETS! Muggsy Bogues and Kelly Tripucka might even walk thru that door.

As i said in another name change thread, I would have liked to see the Hornets name again just for the historical significance of it. When i see the name Bobcats i don't think of Bob Johnson. I never have. I'm glad they researched the possibility of it. At least they are showing responsiveness to the fans.

Go Bobcats!

    • Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.
    • I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.
    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
