No

The organization doesn't need the liability of excessively drunk patrons in the stands nor on the road after the game. 1 dead pedestrian or driver and Panthers are potentially liable. Answer is very simple regardless of the slant of your questions.

Poll Questions are slanted to get a particular response as any "No" answer is made to look like a wussy. Sorry just stupid to answer Yes on this one for anybody with the best interests of the public and the team. Also there will be a lot of Women and Children at these games.

Sorry, if people want to get blasted at games, they do anyways at the tailgates before and after. Not having beer in the games does nothing for the public good. If someone gets too drunk and out of hand, they should be escorted out. But why punish the responsible beer drinkers out there for the actions of a handful of numbskulls?

Generally speaking, I agree with Zod on this. The availability of alcohol is such that eliminating it for roughly thirty minutes in the 4th quarter probably has a negligible effect. The bottom line is that people have to assume personal responsibility for their conduct, and sluggin' down a pony keg before and after the game, knowing you have to drive, is just plain stupid. My only caveat is that by cutting off the alcohol in the 4th might relieve the Panthers of perceived liability for the guy who drinks heavily before and after the game (i.e., "Hey we cut the guy off at the end of the third quarter. What he did after he left us is not our responsibility").

From a crowd control aspect, I think it's best. If you allow people to buy beer all the way up to the end, it will encorage them to hang around in the stadium after the game (to finish their drink). It's the same reason last call in a bar is usually 15 minutes before close.

The last thing I'd want if I'm stadium security is a bunch of folks who have been drinking all day and who are still probably emotionally charged about the result of the game hanging around together in the premises.

I don't have a problem with it. Make a two-fisted run at the end of the third quarter and keep a stash in the car cooler if your deal is to maintain a buzz all day long. The fact of the matter is there is a disproportionate percentage of stupid motherfugers who can't make the right decisions and can't control their body who attend large sports events. It has nothing to do with the Panthers.

The Panthers have a greater responsibility to at least make an attempt at greater safety, even if it is only perceived, than they have a responsibility to make sure your beer buzz is uninterrupted.

    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time. 
    • Displays of luxury spending like this are the only thing that will wake up the poor peasants currently shouting at each other. At least, that's my only way to optimistically look at this trash.
