So how many of you are watching this poo at the Roaring Riot watch party in Charlotte?

After traveling with these beautiful people to Jacksonville, tailgating with them at home games, and watching everything else with the ass-kicking Winston-Salem chapter, I figured it would be downright poetic to finish the best season in franchise history with the same group. If you didn't already know, Zach has organized a badass watch party at Dilworth's Grill by the stadium (he's authorized me to make this thread, so it's not a secret or anything.) To attend you've gotta be a Roaring Riot member, but it's free NoDa beer, Miller Lite, and endless buffet all friggin night.

I'm headed down Saturday afternoon with a buddy of mine and we're gonna spend all day playing video games and drinking beer at our uptown hotel, and then watch the game with the Riot on Sunday, and then stay up til 3am or whatever to greet the team at the stadium when they come home, and then spend all day Monday recovering from what will probably be a sleepless night of drunken revelry.

Anyone else going or have similar plans?

my hotel is uptown so thankfully i can stagger from dilworth's to wherever people are going bonkers in uptown and then eventually to my hotel room

Uber is your friend.  That'd be a long stagger from DNG to Uptown bars/center city.

I plan on being there.  See y'all hoodlums then.

After a night of boozing let's call it an even 2 hour walk. Possible death.

after surviving a drunken harris teeter journey for cigars and champagne post-seattle a few weeks ago we can survive anything

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
