Fox Sports says Panthers have the 24th best stadium in the NFL.


Recommended Posts

The tailgate scene in Charlotte is sort of lacking, but that's what happens when a stadium is right in the heart of downtown. And that's a compliment. Centrally located stadiums are where it's at. Eating and drinking in a climate-controlled establishment designed for such things and then walking to the stadium is far better than standing around in a parking lot convincing yourself that cooking hot dogs on a small, charcoal grill while wearing your huge winter gloves is some sort of rite of the football fan. Don't get me wrong -- some people do tailgating right. Most of them just happen to be doing it on Saturdays outside SEC stadiums.

Top 5:

5. Heinz Field (Pitt)

4. Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles)

3. Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs)

2. CenturyLink Field (Seattle Seahawks)

1. Lambeau Field (Green Bay Packers)

Also, I do wish that Charlotte tailgates started earlier, but I probably wouldn't make it into the game if I started drinking at 7.

Ummm......I don't ever remember seeing you when I get there at 7a. Or while I'm usually alone until 9a. Unless Alvarez or Brandon comes by

    • 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.
