To all who wanted Richardson gone

In hindsight, Cam was holding this dumpster fire together with duck tape for his entire time here and ever since he fell off we haven’t been able to do anything. This organization is just rotten in the front office and has been for a decade

Height of the  MeToo movement.  He was made out to be an example.  Owners/players have since been caught doing WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY worse things with little to zero consequences.  Hell, Watson got to be the highest paid player in the League out of his sexual exploits. It's like he got rewarded!

Still is mind blowing to me how fast the league forced JR to sell yet allowed Kraft and Snyder to keep their teams for so long.  JR had his faults, but he was a passionate owner who loved Charlotte and this team.

He loved jean day at the office.

The reality is that they wanted to fast track Tepper into the good old boys club and they knew that JR didn't have a succession plan and the team would be sold upon his passing anyway so that just hit the fast forward button on that.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't do it to Snyder first though. I'm sure Tepper would've preferred the bigger market that's closer to his New Jersey home.

This.  Timing was everything with the JR situation.  Unfortunate.

Otherwise know as casual Friday in the rest of the corporate world.

His casual friday was giving little pat pats on the young girls backsides lol. I think that might be part of the difference between him selling and Kraft. Kraft did his shady poo away from NFL facilities. Richardson did his at them. Plus a lack of winning makes it easier for them to force him to sell compared to Kraft with multiple rings.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
