Since Richardson isn't trying too spend on the team do we get a discount as fans?

Will we have too pay the same price for tickets and stadium food. Since his wallet is taking a break this year can our wallets take one too? If he doesn't field a competitive team do we have too pay competitive team prices? If he is not going too try for a winning team can we pay bad team prices?

Keep dreaming.

He is actually spending more money this year than he ever has. Eating Jakes contract is going to cost him. He also still has to replace some players so dont think he is being cheap. Know if he does it next year i might agree with you.

I don't know where you get your numbers. He isn't paying Peppers 17 million, is supposedly saving 12 million by dumping Lewis, Kemo, Johnson, Moose, and Jake among others (based on the observer article) which is at least 30 million less than last year. Jake's contract isn't costing much because he isn't paying the salary for 2009 and the guaranteed money will be paid out over several years. He could have escalated it by paying the signing bonus and voiding future payments but he didn't do that either. How do you figure that it will cost more money? Who has he exactly picked up to replace anyone?

We would've had to pay Jake either way, he's not spending more by any stretch. Jake was getting that money...period.

boy there are some over-reacting people around here.

oh noes....since JR isn't spending any money so far that must mean that he isn't going to spend any! REVOLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

While I'm not yet even worried about the team...I am glad Kool-Aid drinkin' rayzor is back. It was sad to see him turn to the darkside last season. :wink:

Here's hoping your over-posting, over-happy self gets to remain happy all season! :)

meh....i'm just happy that moore is getting a real chance this year, that we have moved on from jake and peppers, and that it looks like the FO is trying to shake up some things this year....no more of the 21 of 22 returning tripe.

i'm still very much on the "lets get rid of fox" band wagon but i'm happy that they are doing more than just sitting on their hands. trimming the fat or soon to be fat was a good and shrewd move that gives younger guys a chance to play and gets us in better shape if 2011 is locked out.

when they are screwing up and doing things i don't like, i'll start hating. i don't hate just to hate. not usually anyway.

Yeah but not that much iirc. I still dont think Jerry is going cheap. We will have to wait til the beginning of the season to see but I bet we will be close to what we spent last year.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
