Still a fan but reality has set in

I never been so disgusted in a season like I have so far. When an owner is more concerned with an lockout and his money more than turning his team into a winning franchise, why should we care? I care and I am very appreciative for a team in charlotte but I just don't get it. I will still put on my jersey every sunday and hit the local bar for drinks but now I just expect us to lose. Let's face it, we may not win another game this year. I feel sorry for the players that are actually out there working hard but I just don't see this unit as a whole even caring at this point. I read Zod's comments about camp and should have just listened. We looked like crap in preseason, why was I expecting something different during the season? Now what if the lockout doesn't happen? We just threw away a year for a "just in case". The good thing is we will have a lot of money to spend if the front office is willing to pay for it. Well, lets hope we can pull some positives out this year because as of now, I don't see one.

Why does everybody keep pushing that JR is doing this over money?

He cares about the franchise, the league, and his employees. He's doing what he thinks is best because of the dark horizon he sees coming.

I'm tired of reading these ignorant comments about how he cares about "lining his pockets". If you don't recognize a business owner gearing up for a lockout then that's your problem.

He's not some greedy old bastard, but I guess since the team's losing somebody has to be the villain. It's not that hard to criticize intelligently.

So I guess the other 31 franchises that aren't doing any of this are just going to be screwed and the Panthers will emerge as the next dynasty following the lockout?

Jerry Richardson is the leader of the owners for this new CBA. He is the one setting the example. If all the owners are talking about not spending money this year because of a possible lockout, how can JR go out and spend, spend, spend. That would be a double standard. JR is doing what he has to do for his business, for his team, and most of all, for the future of the NFL. Shallow minds for some. Do some of us a favor and dig deeper.

I don't see where your going with that since I didn't mention anything of the sort. The point is Jerry is doing what he feels is best for the franchise if a lockout were to happen and beyond. He's not doing it out of greed. Anybody that tries to make that claim is just being childish.

Can we just agree to disagree without being insulting? The point is that football has a long offseason and we just wanted to see the team win. Yeah, there is a lot of finger pointing going on but as fans of the game, we support are team no matter what, well I do. I still will be at my local bar each sunday cheering for my team with a nice cold beer in hand. I am just a little disappointed with our team. We are probably going to finish dead last this season but will that change me as a fan no. I just want to see more effort from the team from the owner down to the sir purr (lol, ok I need some humor).

Well the good news to all this is, we will have a top 5 pick next year. Maybe even #1, but no 2nd rounder. Sure hope Armanti plays like a 2nd next year. I know it is way early, but that move is looking more and more bone headed. If Armanti cant even dress on this team, I dont see him being ready next year. Sure hope I am wrong. I bet we trade down to get a 2nd anyway.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By Waldo · Posted

      For a 3rd year QB? That flies with the Teppers and makes the HC and GM look like fools.  Their fear is evident. Their careers are tied to making it work, it's ehy they signed on here and they are professionals who knows what kind of a situation they could potentially have on their hands if they are not calculating about popping up Bryce. I call BS to that sir. It's why every QB after Bryce couldn't make any other rosters past a PS spot...at best

      Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.

      Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
