Richardson had to go through an operation on his heart about two years ago or so & I remember we all cheered/prayed for him...so it doesn't make any sense for him to be so cheap & not care about his fans this season. I know this sounds stupid but perhaps there's a catch to this...Even the players don't know what the hell is going on. I know Fox is clueless

Apparently in this day and age, preparing for the future is seen as cowardly and selfish. Instant gratification rules the NFL and anything other than now, now, now is reacted to with contempt. I'm not agreeing with his decisions, but if it eventually leads to a multiple year run as a contender rather than on a year, off a year then I'm on board.

I would like to think that is the case, and not that he's just trying to make some sick, psycho point to the players union and other owners.

Or maybe it's just that Jerry owes much of his success to the NFL as an organization. He respects the league and above his own franchise that has made him who he is today, upholds what the NFL has established as "in their best interest." Without the NFL, there is no Carolina, might he think to give back to a business that granted him with an expansion franchise some years ago? Doesn't seem too senile to me. Mr. Richardson handles his franchise and business with class and ethics. Whether we as fans can admit it or not, the league's well-being, to Richardson, is more important than winning at the current time. All teams rebuild, some overhaul when economics call for it.

Panther fans, patience would do us all some good. I've never been more excited for this team, somehow...

Probably the most sane and level-headed post I've seen on the huddle. Where have you been?

I'll agree with the patience thing. That'a about all we can do anyway.

As for the other stuff you said, I think it says more about who you are than it does about JR - being a class act and ethical, and all that. And I mean that as a compliment, just to be clear.

The reality is... the "NFL" as a league is in it for the money. And personally, I don't see how cutting most all of your veterans, going cheap, and preaching to the other owners to "take their NFL back" at the risk of a lockout year is anything BUT being about the money.

I'm not saying that winning isn't important to the franchise owners, or to Richardson, for that matter. I'm sure it is. But sometimes, some people can cut off their nose to spite their face. I may be wrong, but I have to admit that is the idea that has crossed my mind many times as I watch this team play.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
