McCown to CJ : “Maybe when you move to Charlotte”

Sorry, Raleigh and Charlotte are not even in the same league. Charlotte is a now bona fide American-style big city (as opposed to global big cities), complete with big city advantages and disadvantages. Raleigh is a medium-sized city that some people prefer to Charlotte because it's not as big yet.

Raleigh will someday be as big as Charlotte is today, and the same people that prefer it to Charlotte today will just move to Greensboro. And by that time, Charlotte may be the size of Dallas or Houston, and people who are vocal will like it less but the numbers won't lie.

There is a stark difference in the crime rate (per capita). Charlotte is rougher than some cities up north.

Raleigh is really getting way too expensive, as is Charlotte. They think we're making NYC money down here. I might have to move deeper into Trump country (which I hate).

Wait, so are we saying CJ is moving to Raleigh? I’m so confused.

Raleigh really is the best city in the state. All you'll find in Eastern NC is a bunch of swamplands so if you're coming from up north and looking for a place to settle down you should definitely move to Raleigh instead!

Lol McCown certainly was having a hard time saying good bye. A little awkward. I didn’t hear “maybe when you move to Charlotte.” It was mumbled and hard to decipher, but I don’t think that is what was said.

Not really. The Raleigh-Durham-Cary CSA metro area is only a few hundred thousand less than the Charlotte CSA, and it's growing at a faster rate.

Cary? The Triangle used to be Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Considering that Cary is a little bit under 3x the size of Chapel Hill, I guess it's the new vertex.  The entire area is one big blob now, spreading out on all sides, especially towards 95.

Yeah, that's just how it's defined now, for whatever reason.

When they bring him in for his private visit, obviously.

Watching the whole Panthers staff walk up to him and look at him with amazement is like bettors looking at a stallion at the Kentucky derby. "My what a fine specimen!"

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".

I agree! Anyone reading this thread from up north, stay away from western NC, It's awful,  please don't come here... uh, I mean go there! Go to Raleigh instead!

Why would anyone with money choose either of those places

Shelby has Moss Lake which has million dollars homes and much less crowded than Lake Norman. Plus east of Gastonia there are a lot of upscale neighborhoods being built near Cramerton. With the Stadium where it is the commute likely is easier than fighting 77 or 485 twice a day.

Just re-watched it again and I realized how much this little stupid clip makes me want to draft Stroud even more now, and he already was my guy.

They clearly had been talking about playing some horse and betting on it at some point.  When McCown says to him we'll find a place to play, Stroud immediately said "right here, c'mon" and wanted to go play him right then and there.

The guy just finished up his Pro Day while gunning to be the #1 pick, the most job important interview of his life just ended and the team with said #1 pick is clearly heading out of town right now.  He can relax for a minute, he can go do something fun, hang out with friends, do what most people would do after just getting thru the most important job interview of your life that you spent weeks preparing for.

Instead he wants to go challenge his potential future coach to a game of horse for money, right then and there after finishing his workout.

LOVE that competitive spirit from the kid, that's awesome, just from that clip alone I know he's someone who just wants to win at everything and all the time.

I love the panthers but a game at BOA will never amount to a Canes home game at PNC. NHL playoffs are on a different level and Raleigh delivers every single time the Canes have a home game. Raleigh delivers regardless. Canes have the second highest attendance in the league.
