So who "has Jerry Richardson's ear"?

In his Black and Blue Review article about players lobbying for Greg Hardy, Bill Voth mentioned that among those doing it were players who "have Jerry Richardson's ear".

 

Now to be clear, this thread is not about figuring out who's lobbying for Hardy. Feel free to start that discussion in a new thread or in one of the half-dozen Hardy threads already active if you like, but that's not the point here.

 

Instead, I'm throwing out this general question...

 

What Panther players on offense, defense and special teams have enough standing on this team that owner Jerry Richardson is willing to give real weight to what they have to say?

 

(I'll save my own thoughts for later, except to say my general sense is it would be a relatively small number of players)

I can tell you it's not the fans.

 

No owner in the league polls fan opinions when making business decisions, nor should they.

 

 

Greg Olsen is another candidate and CJ word probably carries weight as well..

 

Olsen I completely agree with.  Johnson is possible, but I'm not as certain.

I think Luke would have his ear if he wanted it, I'm just not certain he is the type to go to the owner about something.  He strikes me more a guy that lets his agents or more outspoken teammates handle off-field things like this.  Although I do think he would lend his support and stand up for something if necessary.

Agreed. And he's young too. I'm sure JR puts more stock into the opinions of guys who've been around for awhile (TD, etc.).

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
