My heart goes out to Jamaica

Having gone through Helene in western NC, I can't even begin to imagine what they're about to go through. They're talking about western NC Helene type rainfall amounts and flooding and then add in class 5 hurricane winds on top of that. Seems like that island is gonna get razed to the ground because during Helene we really didn't have that bad of wind until near the end of the storm and even then it wasn't nothing crazy. Basically just a run of the mill windy day type of wind and still yet trees were going down all over the place. Sounded like a warzone outside from all the trees falling because the ground was so saturated. They're about to go through pure hell and my heart goes out to them. All the people talking about how the whole island should've been evacuated are dumbasses who can't even begin to grasp the logistics of evacuating and island of 3 million people.

Me and swmbo been talking about this today.  I really feel bad for what those folks are and will be going through.  I was last there close to 40 years ago but I bet it hasn't changed all that much.  The majority of the folks living there then were 3rd world poor and losing what little they have is going to be extremely hard for them.

Devastating. Mom’s family is from Ocho Rios which was mostly spared, thankfully. I will say this, if you’ve never seen an angry and motivated Jamaican, you don’t know the true meaning of no F’s given. Hardest working people I’ve ever known. This storm doesn’t know just who it messed with. They’ll get poo done.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
