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.

Don’t miss him for a second. Yes he was responsible for fielding some very good teams, he was also responsible for fielding some very bad teams. And his “the NFL comes first” mentality was nauseating.

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.

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.

Why would we miss a sexual predator? God y'all suck.

You got Jerry Richardson and Deshaun Watson mixed up.  Big difference in commenting on the attractiveness of ladies wearing jeans in the workplace than demanding a handy underneath the massage table.

What was it that he said to the black employee?

[JawnyBlaze]

No. Still don’t. Tepper hired a bad coach and hasn’t fired him after two seasons and two games. Richardson did much worse than that with Hurney and Rivera. If Rhule is here at year nine, then we can start talking.  There’s no way Rhule survives this year without HUGE improvements.

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 

[pantherj]

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.
