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. :)

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
