Should Jerry's statue stay?

Yes keep it. He is the sole reason that the Panthers exist as they do and that the Carolinas got a football team when they did. He's a great historical figure in Panthers history and deserves his place. You can recognize how important somebody was in something while still acknowledging the flaws. OJ Simpson is still in the hall of fame...

Remove JR and hide him in the basement but keep the Panthers for now.  Then when we get a new stadium debut a "History" park where old great players and past owners are displayed and quietly place the JR statue back with ones of Jpep, Smitty catching the X clown, Sam Mills etc...  It would be great for fans and would allow us to remember the history that is our team without making it a big deal.  We need the dust to settle on JR and let him pass away before we do anything to honor him for what his did do positively for the Carolinas.  Eventually we need a way to remember all past owners and statues aren't a terrible idea.

    • Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts? 
    • nope     This is why we come back every year.  Hope springs eternal
    • It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
