What will new ownership do with the JR statue?

After having woken up to the news this morning and things evolving so quickly, do you think the statue stays or goes? With the current atmosphere sweeping every industry,  will the new ownership want this team to be associated with a previous owner accused of abuse and discrimination or wipe the slate clean?  Would it be proper to keep it standing regardless?

I hate to see the black eye that this will give the organisation as the first NFL team to have to deal with this on the ownership side of things. Team just can't catch a break ....from Caruth to this, it's been a bumpy ride. Hopefully a new start will begin a new era.

Allegations aside, I hope they take it down because it's hideous and looks out of place.

The panthers on each side are awesome. Could cut those off and put them someplace else, like along the path to the practice field, entrance to City Hall, Heath Evan's front yard.....

Take that statue down, asap.     When someone(s) buys the Panthers, it will also be their responsibility to change the culture, and it starts with this stupid statue and then we can move on.    You can't change the culture of a business/franchise while everyone sees this goofy thing every day (and it was stupid and too much BEFORE this news came out).

I just don't know. He may end up being a real scumbag but he did bring the NFL to the Carolinas. At least, keep him out of the Ring of Honor.

Fun fact, the city and it’s tax payers, demand, and PSL owners have much more to do with a team being brought to a city than one single man.

Should be a statue dedicated to any of those.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
