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 can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
