They got the job because JR created it.

The job would have been there anyway. When the expansion happened there was multiple people from Charlotte wanting to own the team.  Richardson was just the best option.  Charlotte would have gotten the team even if Richardson wasn't involved.

That is right . That is the mentality of this fan base. Jerry brought a team to Carolina, which was going to happen without him anyway, so he gets a free pass to treat others like crap.

It isn't. Charlotte was a hot market back then. Hornets was selling out every game and Charlotte was growing big time. You had Richardson, George Shinn (before the scandals and backlash) and Bruton Smith all interested in bringing a NFL team to Charlotte.  You also had exhibition games in Clemson that sold out every year.  So it didn't matter who it was a NFL team was coming to Charlotte. 

 

Fyi the other cities competing was St Louis,  Jacksonville, Birmingham and Nashville/Memphis. St louis was the biggest competitor with Charlotte 2nd.  People was surprised when st louisdidnt get a team.  it was Charlotte with a unanimous vote in the first round. Then a few days later Jacksonville was rewarded a team.

Of course the investigation is continuing. Do you really think lawyers (both for the Panthers and the league) are going to turn down all those billable hours? Lawyers are like the house in Vegas, no matter what happens, they win.*

The investigation should continue. Just like if this were the Saints or Falcons, we'd all be wanting the league to get to the bottom of this.

From what I've read, if the Panthers did not report the settlements to the league then that is a violation. This could get a lot worse before it gets better. NFL reporter Mike Freeman said he believes the four cases in the SI piece are just the tip of the iceberg, and from what he's heard from sources there are a lot more instances of misconduct against JR.

That said, I'd bet a million bitcoins that the Panthers are not the only team in the league to issue settlements without informing the league. The NFL should do a league-wide audit before levying any punishment down on the Panthers.

Been told the same thing by someone else.

Lots of folks think this could get really really ugly.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
