Saw Shane Willis out in the concourse. I didn’t remember him being that stout. Anyways, Willis definitely had a buzz, you could clearly see it in his interviews. Should have bought him a beer, oh well maybe next time.

Not sure why either of those would be that surprising.

I've only been to a handful of games in the decade or so since I moved from Raleigh and have ran into a players' dad drinking in the tailgate lot damn near every time. 

(Shoutout to Papa Martinook da GOAT)

As far as Shane, dude is puffy and bleary-eyed damn near every broadcast. And, it was a very poorly kept secret that our longest tenured media member was tying one on prior to games for years without anyone intervening. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

I’m just reporting my experience at the game. I don’t really care if anyone believes me. I’m not posting here for credibility, I’m just sharing what I know and what’s going on. Yes Willis was plastered, and Tuchs uncle showed several pictures of Tuch after games. I think he was from Vermont. Anyways, he was with some canes fans that are family, and one of those family members is on the board and talked about projects going on around the arena. They were going to hang out with Alex after the game. Again, don’t care if you believe me, just stating what went on yesterday.

It’s called ball busting. While your story seems tall, it also sounds fun. Did Tuchs uncle give you any insight that he would play here?

No, he mainly talked about rarely getting to see him and not begging him for tickets. He did state that he had to pay 1/2 price for his tickets to our game. He is Alex father’s brother. He was a nice guy, drank grey goose with me. He showed me some pictures of Alex taking picture with fans and family. Neat experience. The board member talked a lot about the arena and projects that are way behind. The Willis incident was random and happened towards the end of the first period. Willis is pretty stout. Other than that, more storm brews and a 2-1 win, it was a great day. I’m am curious what happened to Primo subs, anyone know?

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised by that bit about Shane. He was one of the players that went out partying a lot when he was playing.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
