Yeah, the NW mountains were my primary stomping grounds growing up so that's "home" but I prefer the SW honestly and it's all about less crowds for me. The further west you go into NC the less crowds. The Asheville/Brevard and Boone/Blowing Rock areas are just completely blown up these days.

It's just too snooty for me. Sticking with the Colorado comps, it's Evergreen to me. There's a reason I cashed in my chips and bailed on Evergreen.

Was probably just the cover for him not throwing at the Combine. Did he weigh in again today?

Asheville is basically just hillbilly Boulder. It has become a caricature of itself. Brevard is kinda becoming the new Asheville IMO. If you like Asheville of 25 years ago, Brevard is basically a smaller version of that. It's the Lyons to Boulder.

I definitely agree with our brass that game film is by far and away the most important evaluation tool but if he doesn't throw at all during this pre-draft process... I mean, WTF?

Here they are Honestly, I think it's really just that one UK fan.

As it should be. We have the #1 pick. We hold all the cards. Even if we know who we want do all the due diligence anyway. Gather all the information you possibly can to make the most educated, informed decision you can possibly make.

Holy poo. Did you actually unironically include Columbia in that poll?

Lumberton

It pains me to say it because I love the kid but he needs to go. He's not improving here and we're not improving as a team with him taking the lion's share of the shots. He needs a coach to help him with shot selection and decision making in general, not a constant green light. And as a team we need to move the ball and having two shoot first, shoot second, pass as a last resort guards playing nearly all the guard minutes just isn't working.

Raleigh is awesome. Spread the word! Everyone looking to relocate to or within NC should absolutely be looking at Raleigh. Western NC is awful. Nothing but hillbillies and meth. Definitely don't move here... uh, I mean "there".

LL as a top three rapper of all time...

So you think someone like Justin Bieber is the GOAT? This take keeps getting worse.

This is like the people who claim Cam only had one good season. It takes some seriously selective memory. When your best season was an MVP nearly undefeated season everything else kinda pales in comparison. Kinda like when your best album is arguably the greatest album in hip hop history. And everyone with two brain cells to run together knows Nas' best track was NY State of Mind.

Easily one of the worst takes in huddle history.

I honestly don't see Burrow as acting like a dick. This just feels like how opposing fans viewed Cam. Oh god, the guy is young and confident and has fun. What a fuging travesty.

He backs it up though. And honestly I just disagree. Teammates often feed off of that confidence. The media and half the fanbase always tried to trash Cam but I don't think I've heard a negative word about him from a teammate yet.

I honestly hope Love just goes into the draft and goes to the G League. It's what he needs for his development and it's what UNC needs as a team. Too often these guys get caught standing around waiting for Love to do something.

Burrow reminds me of Cam more personality wise than anyone else currently in the league. Confident, doesn't mind talking a little crap, has some flare, but still remains likable IMO. Yeah, if there's a Joe Burrow in this draft gimme that fuging guy.

Nah, that's part of what I want.

And the #1 overall pick isn't/doesn't? They have it made and are treated like gods as long as they play well and win. Just like the NFL. They have to compete against a pressure cooker of talent within the program for playing time too. Just like the NFL. It's as close as you can get to an NFL environment outside of the NFL. What makes the evaluation process tough for these guys is just how much better their supporting cast is compared to the teams they're playing week in and week out.

Oh, absolutely. The bowl system has just gotten outrageously bloated. You have to be completely terrible not to be bowl eligible. Being bowl eligible used to mean something. Now it's just meaningless. Honestly, all that matters these days are the playoffs games and then to a significantly less extent the NYE6 bowls. Everything else basically has high school game attendance levels and infomercial level TV viewership.

Of all the guys in this draft though they've come the closest. Playing at a Bama or OSU type program is as close as you can get to NFL attention, pressure, media and fan scrutiny. And now with NIL, it's true from a $$$ perspective too. QBs at these programs are pulling in 7 figures.

Honestly... I agree. I completely understand it from a perspective of doing what's best for them and their career but yeah... I mean, it is what it is. But the NFL has clearly shown they don't care. I don't feel like anyone's draft stock has been hurt in the least by sitting out of an also ran bowl.
