Is your opinion of Mr. Richardson starting to change?

He should have died in 2008

I don't like his way of running things this season, but I will give his plan a chance before I pass judgement.

He has been too willing to write the check to try and improve this team for me to ignore and simply say he is "al davis" level.

Exactly. Richardson has never been the type to let this team fail, nor has he been "greedy" in the past.

If you can't see that the CBA is affecting the front office's decision making, you're blind. No Panther fan wants to acknowledge that we might be sacrificing now so as to be a better team in the future, but that's the reality of the situation. And if you look at most successful teams in the league, they are built through the draft.

I wonder if we find success in the next year or two or three if you guys will still wish Richardson dead.

We won't know a thing, until it happens

That NFL logo in the middle of the field has stuck in my craw for 15 years, now. And I've been opendly critical of the Richardson regime since 1996.

However, since the kids are gone, it now appears that JR is cleaning up their mess.

I never liked the idea that you bring in a bunch of hired guns to win a championship like we did in 1996. You run the risk of having in a bunch of high-paid guys who used to be good. That idea obviously was either Mark's or John's, and now that they are gone, we can discard it for the poor idea that it was. And that's what JR is doing now.

As the season progresses, I think we'll start seeing better football, and as someone said earlier, we'll be in position to exploit the new CBA rules since we won't have a lot of dead money on the field.

True but it just isnt this year. Last year we didnt pick up much in free Agency. The last time we made a splash was Kemo/Lucas.

You need to have a mix. Build through the draft but also fill in weaknesses through free agency. Just one or 2 veterans that we have a glaring need and cant be fixed by the draft quickly i.e WR.

That was about money. We were an expansion team needing to sell PSLs to build a stadium. We had to win quick and we did. The Idea was Bill Polian's who has done a pretty good job since leaving here building the Colts.

I think draft and coaching decisions are being made above Hurney and Fox. Drafting Edwards was to get the APP fans in here. Jumping the gun on starting Clausen was another attempt to keep selling $7.00 beers. This year is all about cutting expenses and maximizing profits. Morrison is already talking about another stadium in Charlotte so they can go to the PSL well again.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
