Where would you rather live--Greensboro or Charlotte?

Nothing wrong with Greensboro. If you plan on staying in the same place for some time I would say Greensboro but if you don't plan on living there permanently then Charlotte.

Of course, you should live "just" outside of Greensboro if you decide on Greensboro; no need to live in the inner-city.

i've lived in grensboro, charlotte and boone. i've visited wilmington extensively but have no idea of the job market. to me it seems like greensboro with a beach. charlotte is nice but i would never live there again. after a year there i have exactly two fond memories of the place and only one has anything to do with charlotte being a good place to live. for my money i'll take boone any day of the week but if you're actually going to try to work for a living it's probably not your best bet unless you're going to teach or do some kind of construction work. greensboro is where i'm from and i'll always love it to some extent but unless i was young and wanting to party then i would never live in greensboro proper. southern rockingham county is very nice while still being close enough to greensboro proper that you don't have to actually deal with as much craziness.

I do it as much as anyone (the fact that it would take a million dollar/year salary to get me to live in W-S) but the all out hate between G'boro and W-S is actually kind of funny.

I think of W-S as the used up husk of a town that was left when the tobacco empires fell. The only thing left is the very rich and the very poor. What middle class there is left is trying to make W-S viable but its a losing battle.

The only thing in W-S that worth going there for is Foothills brewery and Toms Guitars.

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...

Don't know about Tom's, but I hate foothills. Awful food, poor service, and over crowded. Johnny and Junes is much more fun.

Regarding Greensboro or Charlotte, really there isn't much difference between the two. Charlotte is a little bit larger with more places to get drunk, Greensboro is cheaper with fewer places to get drunk. But sometimes quality is more important than quantity.

    • Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop
    • Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.  
    • Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
