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.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
