Is JR Hiding Behind His Coach and his QB?

[Cat]

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.

Every lawyer he has would poo their pants and vomit if he did that.

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.

JR would likely stroke out and die halfway through an interview.

He’s rather sell his team than have to explain himself to a bunch of people sure to twist his words one way or another.

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.

His lawyers and PR people know he'll only dig his hole deeper if he gets in front of reporters. The best thing for everyone is if he just slips out the back door so we can all pretend he never existed.

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

JR should take to twitter to incriminate himself.
