Can someone explain to me the Big Cats interest in the LA moves?  It seems like he has some pretty serious influence in the matter and I'm not entirely sure why.  I'm sure someone here can make the connection for me.  

For example: 

@LAtimesfarmer: Because LA Committee is privy to information on both Carson & Inglewood plans, the Jerry Richardson involvement is particularly interesting.

idk, man. I try not to think about things like that. Like, what will happen to the team once the BigCat passes and the team is sold, as wished? I'm sure it will stay in Charlotte but will it be the Panthers? Richardson has instilled such a family like environment, I'd hate to see that image changed.

Richardson is a member of the Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities, which is composed of six owners

 

 

So, basically, he wants to have sway with the whole league. That was an avenue to do it. See also: the lockout and his involvement on that front.

JR is a business man. Half of his interest is this franchise's success, the other half is the success of the league/him being involved in league-wide decision making.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Also, with where this franchise is heading with the success, the team isn't moving. This team will stay in Charlotte. No chance they move it.

Guys , can we stop the JR-LA, Carolina -LA threads. JR (as stated above) is the head of some powerful committees within the league. Don't misinterpret this. Our Panthers aren't going ANYWHERE. Trust me on this one.  San Diego, St. Louis and Oakland are jockeying for a move, but no one else is.

Jerry is the most influential of all the owners, that's why. He was the pointman during the last CBA negotiations remember? They were smearing him left and right for it.

False. He is not the most influential. that is between the Maras and the Rooneys.

Jerry was the face of the labor negotiations, since it looked better for a former player to lock out the players than owners. The last CBA were primarily between big and small market teams.

JR gets a sliver of the entire NFL pie. He wants that NFL pie to be as big as it can possibly be, because that would make his sliver as big as it can possibly be.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
