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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
