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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
