JR just responded to the situation differently.  He could have acted like Snyder but he agreed to sell the team instead.  They can't really force anyone out if that person is willing to be a pariah.

JR knew they had the votes to force him out. Makes me believe that somehow they didn't for Snyder.

Richardson got pretty bitter about it shortly before the end.

Probably because he didn't get the price he thought he could get but I also kinda got the impression he didn't necessarily want to sell to Tepper.

Tepper has since all but erased Richardson from Panthers history.

I didn't realize a 3/4 majority could remove an owner.  That's unreal that they couldn't get a 3/4 vote for Snyder.  Really gives you some perspective on the nature of most of the owners in the NFL.

Class solidarity amongst the super rich is incredibly entrenched.

Didn't work for Richardson.

He floated the idea of an internal investigation, likely thinking that the league would back him up. They didn't.

Snyder? It's hard to understand, but one possibility might be that some other owners don't want the skeletons in their closets to come out.

Richardson really didn't fit the league anymore. League owners have gone from being ridiculously wealthy people to being ridiculously wealthy people even in comparison to ridiculously wealthy people. We're talking about some of the very wealthiest people on the planet.

I mean yeah that much seems clear. 

They'll stick with you as long as it remains advantageous, and the vast majority of the time it's most advantageous to keep that class solidarity, lest ye be taken down as well.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
