It’s because Richardson is intimidated by smart, driven football guys. He wants harmony in the front office and locker room over success. Case and point - Dave Gettleman. Gettleman ran the team like a business. He wasn’t overly friendly or polite. He was shrewd and made unpopular decisions in the best interest of the long term of the team. And he won. The panthers had the best run of success in their history under his watch. Now he’s gone and we’re back with good ol boy Hurney running the show, with brain dead Shula still calling plays. The Panthers are about to enter a very dark time that might not end until Richardson is long gone.

I wish I could disagree.

The guy has a couple of billion bucks stashed away and owns an NFL football team as a sideline. Dude had his heart removed and survived long enough for a new one to be put in its place. He played pro football in the era when a tight end send across the middle would be clotheslined and trampled by the entire linebacking corps. He built a fried chicken franchise that started out when KFC and the Colonel were THE only game in town and the most profitable one.

Jerry Richardson isn't intimidated by any living person. 

And he's picked guys who've taken the franchise to the Superb Owl twice so far. Compare that to the Jags, Browns, Texans, Lions and a number of one-trip contenders with longer histories in the league. Give the guy a break because right now, the only other thing you are asking him to do is basically die.

I don’t want him to die. I never said that. I want him to step aside and let football professionals run the team. He did that with Dave Gettleman and the team was as good as it ever has been, save for one down season. Then he inexplicably fires him at a questionable time right before training camp, which by itself is just strange, but bringing back Marty Hurney who he fired 5 years ago is straight up bad management.

Richardson has done a ton for the Carolinas founding the team, and had success in restauranteering. But there’s a reason he hired Ernie Accorsi to find the next GM after he fired Hurney. And now we’re back to the same old same old. That is the main reason a lot of Panthers fans are critical of him right now and it’s only amplified by the players struggling on the field and having personal issues and having a meeting Richardson over the political protests.

Long story short, it could be a rough season, and Richardson is at the center of it.

My predictions:

JStew breaks 100 yards and snags a TD.

Cam has 60% pass success rating, 250 yards and two TDs, no INT.

Gano wins it with a 35 yarder.

Panthers 27 Pats 24

Dickson and Benjamin with the TD catches.

Well, I was close. :)

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

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

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
