I am grateful to Richardson for bringing a NFL team to the Carolinas, but he really seems to be an arrogant, sexist, and racist prick.  I admit I defended him for a while, just believing him to be an old-school guy, when the truth is that he is a pie

We all should be thankful everything transpired as it did and we ended up with Tepper.  Certainly there are unknowns about his next coach is going to turn out, but from a business and personal standpoint, he appears to be a massive, massive upgrade over "Mr. Richardson."

I’m right there in that boat with you buddy. I thought Richardson was a class guy based on what I knew, which admittedly wasn’t much that matters. Was extremely disappointing to be confronted with a lot of evidence that he seems to be a giant douche. Now grateful I’m not giving him undue respect based on a facade.

Hoping Tepper turns out better in any number of ways.

If David Tepper did this people would be laughing about his brass balls and toughness.

Can't speak for everyone, but I can honestly say I wouldn't.

Tepper sticking people with the check for lunches and dinners is kinda funny, mind you, but that's more of a mischievous thing. This comes off as aloof and disrespectful.

I met Richardson briefly, only once, upstairs club level While he was on his way to his box.... Panthers Bears games and I brought  a business associate  who was a Bears fan with a Bears jersey on  and I had a Smith Jersey on

His driver stopped his golf cart, JR broke into a big smile when he saw the surprise on our faces and joked about watching who I associated with, funny now

he was very nice  during that Interaction.   You never know about people 

one thing I did share with him was a dislike of Dan Snyder.  It was so obvious when you could see them at BofA thus he wasn’t all bad lol

According to the story about the Los Angeles thing, he bashed and mocked  Rams Owner Stan Kroenke pretty hard in a meeting with Dean Spanos.

IMO People are seldom what they appear to be at that level 

most of them don’t become rich because they are nice people or because they have integrity 

put nicely, they are societal acceptable versions of Tony Soprano

No argument. There's an image that they present to the public, but it's not necessarily anything close to the real person.

Obviously, the revelations of recent years have told us that we didn't really know Jerry Richardson as well as we thought we did.

And hey, it's not like stories of rich and famous people being a--holes are exactly hard to find.

      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.
