Did anyone think they’d miss Mr. Richardson?

Nah, just don't think Tepper would have such a spiraling start to ownership.  He seemed like a quick learner and a guy who wanted to be at the front end of trends in the league.  The entire franchise is lost in the wilderness.

Yeah, giving a college hc that had never really proven anything should never had got a 7 year gauranteed contract. Sean Payton? Sure. But why the fug Rhule? We could have canned Rhule and got Daboll but nope. Here we are.

Richardson was a decent owner and should have went out on his own terms. Yes, yes, he wasn't FORCED to sell the team, but the pressure was there...real or perceived.  I've said it several times, I think it was a hit job.  Was the dude, perfect? No, but as we have seen there are owners FAR worse still in the League.

I think had he weathered the storm, Richardson would have eventually sold to a football guy.  Maybe not an ex-player, but someone that at least had a background in the League.  Tepper is balls.  I didn't like the sell to him, I didn't like the Rhule hire and the franchise has been in free fall every since the dude got handed the keys to this organization.

At this point his only redeeming value would be to fire Rhule, select a hiring committee of NFL knowledgeable people to select the next HC and then stay out of the freaking way.   Dude may know hedge funds, but he's an idiot when it comes to running a NFL franchise.

Exactly what it says. He assured us that anyone but Richardson or Rivera was as an automatic upgrade.

We were playing Un Superbowls 😆 

These clowns love to presend we don't remember anything 

Try again...this time without lying

If you're going to tee off on Scot you should also own up to your contrarian bit you've been doing for a couple of years now when criticism of Rhule and his decisions have been mentioned.

He was actually pretty much completely in the Richardson should be gone camp, so again....not sure what you were trying to say and your explanation didn't help. 

I seriously doubt he misses JR even if he doesn't like tepper. It is possible to be glad JR is done and wish we had a better owner.

I know I do, just like I am still glad Rivera and fox are gone and I want Rhule gone.

You lost the moment you started trying to defend a racist womanizer. Jerry " call meh mistah" Richardson. No thanks

J.R turned out to be a creep. I don't miss him at all.

I do miss the players Hurney drafted in the first round. In those days we had a solid core of highly talented leaders in the field who were also loved by the fan base. Even if the season went poorly, you had some talent out there and leadership. Now under Fitt we have something that rhymes with his name. I want Fitt and Rhule gone. And no of course I don't ever want Hurney back.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
