Jerry is on his way out he don't give a poo cause what can the NFL really do to him since he will be long gone by the time this all over with.

Oh, it matters to him. It actually matters a great deal to him.

If you read the profiles written on Jerry Richardson since this whole thing started, one of the consistent themes is that he is obsessed with his legacy. He wants to be remembered as a great man. The Panthers were essentially supposed to be a living monument to his memory once he died.

Heck, that's the reason he agreed to sell the team so quickly in the first place. He assumed that by doing so he would avoid further investigation. But the NFL decided not to let him off the hook.

If there's a hint of this becoming a trend, then the NFL is going to want to look like hardasses. And that doesn't mean just on Richardson. The Panthers could also be penalized and even lose draft picks if it's determined that they helped cover this up.

Trust me. It's a very big deal to an increasingly image conscious league.

I don't man they was talking about this on NFL Live on friday and they are thought Jerry was getting off light cause he fixing to sell the team and make billions and will not have to answer to any of this cause he be gone.

The NFL just in the last few days announced they had assigned an independent counsel to investigate Jerry Richardson's misconduct. Specifically, the same investigator that went after the Saints for the bounty program and the Patriots for deflategate. 

She doesn't work for the NFL. She works for a law firm that handles plenty of sexual harassment cases. And I doubt it's an accident that she's female.

You don't hire an outside law firm if you're looking for somebody to be let off easy.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
