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.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
