Increase in property taxes? Oof. Rock Hill residents about to take it in the shorts.

Oh I don't trust them either. In fairness, this process has been pretty fuging transparent and involved enough entities that they would have to have a lot of people on board to intentionally fuging over so many. Plus, it really doesn't behoove them to have this thing to continue either.

STFB from 16? Nice. Overseas pickup, in that case. Have a few of those in the cabinet.

It's a calculated risk, to be sure. But they are required to actually finish their studies. I was initially skeptical but the more I read into the research, it was a risk I was willing to take. And let me be completely clear, I was never scared of this virus. Ever. I literally only took the vaccine because I didn't want to be sitting at home for 2+ weeks not getting paid. It's not even that I need the money, I'm just greedy. So, the money was worth the risk to me personally.

Basically if you choose to disclose your proof of vaccination, you get to no longer wear your mask. Everyone has an ID badge here, so you will get a sticker on your badge showing you are exempt.

Drinking the tears of my anti-vaxxer co-workers after after company just announced people with the vaccination don't have to wear masks at work anymore. Garnished with jelly.

That will be a long term thing. If he can keep it off for a couple of seasons, I think he will be out of the park. 325-335 would probably be great, depending on what his frame allows.

Hopefully they can get him down even further.

Another Huddle JAG special. They always leave you wanting more than they are capable of being.

My ideal OL definitely doesn't exist with our roster. I think it will end up: LT: Scott/Christensen/Erving LG: Elflein/Erving/Moore Center: Paradis RG: Miller RT: Moton I think the left side will be rotating players most of the season in an attempt to find "the guy."

That's really hard to say. I think his comments during the season didn't help. You could definitely see the frustration in the last couple of press conferences from Rhule about Teddy. He definitely indicated that Teddy wasn't likely to head into the offseason as the presumptive starter. I think that rift developed over the course of the second half of that season. I don't even think it was a big rift, just that both parties became frustrated with each other.

Yeah, unfortunately those decisions always get amplified if they are wrong. It is what it is.

You mean when people loved Brett Favre?

I don't know that I would necessarily attribute it to his attitude. He was largely the same player as he was beforehand. I think they(and the bulk of the fans) just had unrealistic expectations for him. We wanted him to be something he is not. That is my big fear for Sam Darnold. People are really setting their expectations very high for a player that has really shown almost no ability to be that. In a similar vein, I am not going to jump all over Darnold if he does just keep being the same player he was in NY. He didn't trade for him, he didn't draft him and I don't think he is mailing it in any less than Teddy was. Not every QB prospect is a franchise player.

Jilted lover syndrome. I don't actually dislike him anymore for what he said. For all we know it was accurate.

Great article but they could expand that to actually include actual performance and that would probably change the results substantially. From the "positional value" aspect, it hits the mark. But, not all draft decisions are that simple. I would say it is a dramatic oversimplification of the process to break it down that way. Great data but not necessarily something you could run a draft based on.

Funny how those of us that warned people about him in the offseason have so much company on the anti-Teddy train now. It just took a season of watching him mainly be the problem and then throwing people under the bus.

Nah, he was definitely lashing out. I think he obviously feels jilted about the whole situation.

So much is going to depend on our division games. Are we the 2nd best team? 3rd? Worst? That will be the difference between us and maybe being .500 or better. The NFC South is going to be pretty hard to handicap.

I did want Fields or Slater instead of Horn. And, in hindsight, I do think Horn is the safest pick of the three. But LT and QB are higher value positions that we also really had a great need for. I hope that we chose the right horse in that race. It will hurt if we didn't. Sewell going one before us was soul crushing. So close. I have to believe since we have gone through multiple staffs and not moved Moton over, he just isn't the guy at LT. I honestly think we won't have a guy that starts more than 8 games at LT. It will be shuffling around to see what works, IMO. 100% okay of any of the guys we are going to attempt prove me wrong. It's a lot easier to discover your coaches/front office are geniuses than find out they are fools.

No doubt. Yet we continue to not make it a priority or make smart personnel decisions at the position.

We'll just be revisiting the same hole we have had since Gross left. We just don't prioritize it or make smart decisions. It's amazing.

Notice the "Triangle" statement. Wake County is larger than Mecklenburg but also the Triangle(which is admittedly a much larger geographical footprint) has actually been bigger than the Charlotte metro area for a while. Charlotte itself is larger than Raleigh but the RDU sprawl is much larger than the Charlotte sprawl.

That is older census data. The Triangle area is bigger now.
