Should Jerry Richardson be in the War Room?

Jerry Richardson built the Panthers. That's a fact that can never be changed. And this will be the last chance he ever has to be around for a draft.

But of course there's that thing...

What message did you send by trotting out someone who's considered by a lot of the public to be a sexual harasser and a racist? In giving him a "last hurrah", do you cast a shadow over the next owner?

The NFL wants Jerry Richardson to fade from the public consciousness as soon as possible. If it were their decision, the answer would be obvious. The option likely belongs to the Panthers though, not the NFL. In fact, it sounds like the choice will be up to Richardson himself.

What would you do?

I mean, technically, it's still his War Room. So it all depends on if he wants to be there or not. I have no idea...and I also don't think it's all that important. If anything, it will be a story for a day or two if he's there. What I THINK he should do is never be heard from again but that also doesn't matter.

Heh :)

Honestly though, more than one source has confirmed that Richardson is still running the show. He's just doing it via shadow puppets instead of actually showing up at the office.

Gantt made it clear that Richardson plans to go down fighting, which makes me think he probably will be in the war room.

I wouldn't exactly call his presence in the war room "trotting out."  If he was delivering the picks to the podium, maybe.

I also don't see what he can do to cast a shadow over the next owner.  He could do some things that may cause some trouble in transition, and he could create some legal and contractual hurdles, but unless he sells to a personal friend that accompanies him to Thailand regularly for "business retreats" then I don't see how he can hit the reputation of the new guy.

That's the NFL's viewpoint.

Albert Breer talked about the NFL wanting him to be gone as soon as possible. And not just gone, but forgotten.

I get the sense that if the NFL could find something like the neuralyzer from Men In Black, they'd use it to make people forget that Jerry Richardson ever existed.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
