JR won't have this franchise much longer..

He is eighty one years old with an eight year old heart transplant. He looks frail and not in top health. This team will probably be sold as his health further declines. Let's hope that when this happens, the new owner (or owners), plan on keeping our team here. Also the top priority of any new owner will be to WIN and be profitable. I'm not sure this is the top priority here right now.

 

I thank JR for bringing N.C. an NFL team. We probably wouldn't have one without him. Panthers need a new path and hopefully when they are sold, they will find one. The one we have just embarked on now is not the right one.

Not saying OP implied this or said it, but it truly is amazing how the same "reasonable" posters who claimed anyone who spoke ill of Gettleman was a traitor or not a true fan, and those same posters, in multiple posts, have outright wished JR would pass away.  Some classy "fans" we have...

Don't wish any ill on the man at all. Thanks to him we have our team. It's just reality, he is old and in poor health. If we had a fifty year old owner in great health, then things would stay the same for years to come. When he steps down to enjoy the rest of his life and family, then things will change.

JR will not sell the team. His estate will sell the team after he dies. If he sold the team now h would pay capital gains taxes on the sale of the team. The estate would then face an estate tax when he dies. This would result in getting double taxed which is why owners wait until after they die to sell the team even if they are not able to carry on the ownership responsibilities.

I wish Jerry Richardson nothing but the best in the years he has remaining on this earth.

I'll always be grateful for his efforts to secure a team for the Carolinas.  His convincing and professional presentation to the NFL was widely lauded at the time when Charlotte was considered no better than a long shot in the race for a new franchise.

After years of mediocre performance on the field I really thought JR had finally seen the light with the hire of Gettleman.

Alas, the Panthers are now back to their old Mom and Pop ways.  Sadly, it looks like JR is going to have to relinquish ownership of the team before fans are able to enjoy any long term success.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
