Your Ideal Owner

Kind of an offseason topic, but after a certain someone started a thread yesterday with a slight about JR, I started thinking about this. 

Who/what would your ideal Panthers owner look like, if not Jerry Richardson?

Personally, and I go back with the Panthers to 1993 when they were awarded the franchise... was at the first preseason game and first regular season game and countless more since then. I've seen a lot of owners across a lot of sports over many years and JR is pretty great when you look at the whole picture. You can question him for how he handled the end of the Fox era, or the firing of his sons, or the firing of Gettleman... but I will defer to his judgement on everything because I don't know the whole story. 

What I do know:

  • He isn't afraid to spend on his own players or free agents - as far as I know it's up to his GM
  • The team maintains a fantastic stadium
  • He has shown patience with multiple coaches
  • The players seem to genuinely like him
  • He runs a world-class organization

I can't really say there's another organization in sports whose fans I envy because of their owner. No owner is perfect, but JR sure does tick a lot of the right boxes.

I know this won't be very popular but as a Yankees fan, I always loved George Steinbrenner. Guy would do whatever it took to win. Sure he was a bit crazy in the 80s with Billy Martin but for his last 20 years he was what I considered a great owner. Not sure the Huddle could handle a volatile owner like that though. :)

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
