Probably not. But im not gonna give the billion dollar corporations the benefit of the doubt here. fug em. 

They should be able to watch the weather over the course of a week and make an educated decision. I have to do it in my line of work for logistics. 

 

It's not just the corporations. Look at all the resources that go into planning for the traffic, etc. To snap your fingers at the last minute and bump a major D1 football game up a few hours is simple to say but it's a logistical nightmare. And predicting scattered thunderstorms a week out? I mean, we all watch the weather. Weather predictions a week out is like planning your finances around scratch off lottery tickets.

I assume the big reason they would be hesitant to flex for weather is less about the teams being able to pull it off and the TV/broadcast/money stuff coming into play 

It's just overall a massive pain in the ass  for something that may or may not happen. You see games rescheduled for hurricanes. You don't see games rescheduled for scattered thunderstorms. It's a lot better to maybe deal with the possibility of an hour or two delay than it is to move the entire operation due to the chance of scattered thunderstorms. It's just part of the deal playing outdoors in the early part of the season. We only have a couple more weeks with it being a major issue.

Sour grapes? Bro, I’m the guy that was just arguing King is THE best QB in the ACC the other week.  You straight up manifesting something here lol.

I merely said they need King to stay on field and healthy….and that is something to question if you talking about a GT run.   Because he gets hurt.  A lot.  

I’ll take GT over any team in the ACC if King is ready to rock and roll.  He is the best player.  
 

 

 

Let me slightly reword that, King is the best QB and therefore the most impactful player.   I would not go so far as the claim he is the best player in the ACC. 

huge King fan.  He is exactly what I would want as my college QB.  Total different wants for my pro team but he is college football to me

Yeah, he's a perfect college QB and big part of that is him being a highly effective QB who doesn't have the skill set that NFL teams clamor for so you don't have to worry about him going pro early. You're going to get all four years out of a guy like that.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
