Did Jerry Richardson ever alienate the fanbase as much as Tepper has?

The '01 and '10 seasons were bad, but I don't remember the absolute vitriol towards him as there is towards Tepper currently.  Was I happy about those teams? No, but I didn't think ownership was the problem, I thought ownership would hire the right coaches to fix the problem.  Now, I'm convinced ownership 100% is the problem.

those were bad years but you knew that hey we're going to get a great pick because of it (Peppers, Cam) and maybe get a new coach but not once in those years was The Big Cat to blame, just lame duck years

If you were going to strip Richardson of ownership over jeans Friday then the Cowboys and Patriots also needed new owners

It was a coup de ta, I'm certain of it. Old, white, southern man ripe for an overthrow.  Poor old Jerry (Richardson) didn't know what hit him.  While this Jerry^ has more than his share of enough dirt on him.  What sealed it for me was when the owners refused to depose of Daniel Snyder who had countless wrong doings on his watch in DC. 

Jeans Friday and supposed racial slur in a organization full of black people for over 20 years from ONE former scout.

Jerry Richardson was a mid owner who at least understood what kind of team and players would succeed in the Carolinas. David Tepper is a Pittsburgh guy who has NO idea what he was getting into buying a southern football team. It’s so unnatural and forced and it shows on the field. He’s hired two head coaches with strong connections to Pennsylvania and bypassed the one coach who sniffed any kind of on field success who happened to be a Charlotte guy. It’s insane what a bad fit Tepper is to own the Panthers. He really does need to sell the team, for our sake and probably his own. 

i believe Jerry Richardson being a former NFL player of a successful team  definitely gave him a leg up or let's say an advantage over David Teppe.r

Jerry Richardson's biggest issue was that he put too much faith in the wrong people, a frequent end result of which was people being put into positions they weren't really qualified for (Marty Hurney being a prime example).

David Tepper's biggest problem seems to be too much faith in himself.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
