Is JR Hiding Behind His Coach and his QB?

Anyone else bothered that JR isn't more present and hasn't had a press conference? He knows his QB and coach (and other players) have to get in front of a mic every week and take questions from the media. It seems to me like he is hiding behind them and letting them take all the questions from the press. They have to go out there and be the ones that confront this with the media while JR doesn't show his face. 

Maybe I'm being unfair but this is starting to piss me off.

He rarely does press conferences so it isn't unusual.   I'm not sure why you are personally annoyed by it.  And FYI, Cam and Ron are required to do them.  They don't have to comment on the situation.

JR facing the media now would be a colossal mistake. Any lawyer or PR person on the planet would want him shipped off to Tahiti right now. Everyone on the team has been briefed on how to handle things, and of course they have a new interim manager they want to make look good during the crisis. I don't like Jerry talking to the media on good days because he could say anything at any time, this isn't even in the wheelhouse.

Fair enough.

I agree with OP but rather than make me angry it convinces me selling the team and stepping down right away was the right thing to do.  Octogenarians rarely change, especially those that have built huge business empires.  And I also agree any lawyer worth his/her salt would not allow JR near a microphone.

The mans in his 80s. I wouldn’t want my 80 something year old father in front of the media either. Give him a break.

Dude was running the team. If he can't talk then he shouldn't have been.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
