Cuban is a loud mouthed blow hard 

who is smart, loves his team and sticks up for his players and not afraid to call out the league for screwing him. He's a solid choice.

[RJK]

A Marc Cuban type but not into trying to be one of the team. Or peter holt

I can think of pretty much 31 ideal owners I rather have than ours. 

[Zaximus]

Kraft is a good choice.   Basically, I want an owner that isn't complacent in mediocrity and doesn't make rash choices based on emotion.

[AggieLean]

Some good choices. I've always liked Cuban as an owner. Kraft and Steinbrenner types would be cool too.

I also agree with the poster who said Michael Jordan is intriguing. He's shown or is showing that he has the ability to take a step back when needed

I'll take the Al Davis of the 1970's and 80's when the Raiders had the highest winning percentage of any team in professional sports. He took cast-offs from all over the league and resurrected one career after another and always got the best from guys people thought were long since over the hill. 

"Just Win, Baby" and "Commitment to Excellence."

Yeah, he went crazy early in the 80's and a lot of players and coaches fell victim to his lunatic fringe, but back in the day, there was no better.

Mark Cuban

[catnip]

Joe Gibbs !  Former      coach and super bowl winner . Lives in Charlotte and would keep the team here.  Knows how a team

should be run and would be a world class organization.

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. 

You forgot to list his negatives, going to have to if you want credibility.

I would be a better owner than any option presented in this thread

[pantherclaw]

No such thing. 

There will never be an owner that you agree with 100%. 

We are blessed to have Richardson.

I like Steve Bisciotti.

Robert Kraft

Knows when to take his dick out of things...

ALWAYS goes to bat for his players...

Keeps his dick out of things...

Mac and Cheese...

Yeah, Robert Kraft.

Didn't he consider moving his team to another state in the mid 90's ??
