One thing that needs to be said here is that virtually all of this aid I'm seeing pour in isn't coming from the government. It's just coming from people. Roads are getting cleared by people like me with a chainsaw and a pickup. All this heavy equipment coming in is private industry stepping up. The vast majority of the helicopters constantly flying overhead delivering aid are private. I don't ever want to see another politician gripping and grinning anywhere around here.

Indeed. We just got back and will be heading back again this Friday for more help.  We talked with a lot of the private parties sans a few helicopter pilots at the hickory regional airport and it’s all being paid for by themselves. Really nice to see. Also, love him or hate him, the only the first real political figurehead out there was Mark Robinson. Like within a day he was out in the western part of the state.  Love him or hate him, that man does care for NC.  Coop took forever and please don’t get me started on the people above.  Not tying to stir anything up but yeah, most of this relief has been the people of NC and that is something we can be proud of.

Sadly I'm not surprised. I was up around Linville and Spruce Pine yesterday and it's a wreck.

Yeah. And I wasn't trying to say that regular people aren't donating they're time and resources. They are, all over. I am and many others. I was born at watauga medical center and raised on Boone. This is very personal to me also. But I have seen tons of government resources in the area. It takes a collective effort and I think any political commentary is unproductive

The people I know in WNC are largely outside of Boone and Asheville and .gov is nowhere to be seen, per usual.

      Dalton Mic'd Up

      The lines dictate the game. Always.  Defense: control the LOS and pressure the QB Offense: control the LOS and prevent pressure on the QB

      Bryce Young for Trevor Lawrence

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold are not clutch QBs. They will need defense and great game management to win consistently during the season. They are done in the playoffs when the defense and coaching can't carry the game. Don't waste time or money on them. They'll be the end of great coaching and defense in the playoffs following a strong running game during the season. Geno Smith is clutch and can contend for a championship game in the playoffs.

      Thursday Football: Bucs @ Falcons

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Amazes me anyone would say he's not clutch. 30.4% GWD conversion is lower level clutch like Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is 26.4%. Baker Mayfield is 17.5% and Sam Darnold is 12.5%. Bryce Young is 11.1%. People need to realize QB must be 60% clutch and 40% game manager in an NFL game. A couple of my QB targets are Cooper Rush at 75.0% and Desmond Ridder at 35.7%. Desmond Ridder had crazy clutch ratios like Tom Brady in their college careers. Ridder needs a coach like Canales. SB dynasty QBs are around 40% & clutch playoff QBs who make it to championship games are around 30% as a gauge. When you run this across the 64 championship QBs over the past 35 seasons you'll see the same result with a 3% to 5% swing from the start to finish of their career. This goes for the undervalued championship QBs like Case Keenum and Erik Kramer too. QBs come prepared from college knowing how to be a clutch performer. It's only the game management and system they need to be coached up on in the NFL.
