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.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
