JR's not doing it, he's selling the team.

So, what, this is just Tina Becker making smart decisions?

Come on, man.

We all know that Richardson was going to make Hurney the permanent GM anyway. The fact that he has to sell the team just adds a little additional urgency to it.

And please don't tell me that you think the man who put somebody from the ticket office in charge of pro personnel and promoted a logistics guy to be the last interim GM is someone who should be trusted to make good decisions.

I’m normally one to say stuff like this, but that’s kind of messed up man. Just because she was a cheerleader doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the knowledge to run the team in the interim.

She doesn't, and it has nothing to do with her being a cheerleader or a woman. That's the opinion of people who have worked directly with her.

I labeled that notion as a sexist stereotype too, but I've learned since then that it's actually true.

There are plenty of men who wouldn't be smart enough to do these things either. Unfortunately for us, one of those men is actually in charge.

When I said a few weeks ago that the new owner or owners were probably already onboard with JR you labeled me a conspiracy theorist or something similar.  I see you are beginning to believe.

Not really. I'm talking about what he will do. Not something that's already done.

May not have experience, but a lot of times people don’t have experience and are required to jump in the fire anyway.

Come on man!  Had it been anyone other than JR that made the appointment I might buy that.  But I'm guessing it has more to do with how well she looks in jeans than her football knowledge.  Nothing against her as a woman at all.

Jerry Richardson has a long-standing pattern of appointing people to jobs they're not actually qualified for because they're loyal to him.

You and many other here are making stupid assumptions.

Uh huh.

So again, you think the guy who put someone from the ticket office in charge of free agency scouting and put a PR guy in charge of the entire football operation is just trying to make the best decisions?

Yeah, okay.

Fair enough. I honestly didn’t know this. Appreciate the correction Mr. Scot. And apologies to @Jon Snow. Wasn’t trying to be accusatory

From what I've read, if a competent football person were to come in and take a look around the Panthers front office, he'd be cleaning house fast.

Gettleman didn't because he didn't want to be that guy who just came in and fired everybody. He should have. I consider that his biggest mistake..

There are reportedly a number of people in there who have been given promotions to jobs they're not qualified for. Why? Because competence isn't what Jerry Richardson values the most. It's loyalty.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
