I think JR owes the fans an explanation

I have always had the upmost respect for the man but his actions or should I say lack of actions has me wondering what the hell is he thinking.

I am not the biggest Fox fan but most of this years undoing is on manangement.

We gave Delhomey 12 million just to go away and drafted 3 qbs.Edwards is in my opinion the best of the three and he is not even active.

We had an obvious need at WR and did nothing until cream of the crop was gone.

This is the worst managed year of Panthers football I have ever seen.

If he was not going to have at least supported Fox why did he keep him other than wanting not to pay him to leave which was 1/2 of what we paid Jake this year.

The thing that pisses me off is we will not explain to the owners of the PSLs and ticket holders what is going on.

Lockout. Not worth investing. Good business decisions.

Sad thing is we should be aware of this by now.

Well I think the PSL holders much like stock holders at least deserve an explanation of why thier PSLs are worth much less now.So when you say "not a good business decision" you are only referring to the owner or CEO.How would that poo sound to you if you were a stock holder of Enron.

Simple: JR cares about one thing, and one thing only, MONEY. Even though he won't be around for much longer, it's all about money and NFL. No team logo in mid-field? Come on. It's obvious where his allegiances lay.

But hey, why WOULD he care? Half the fans that show up to our games are the OTHER team's fans.

Ever wonder why we were so eager to get rid of our 1st round pick??? A future 1st rounder for Brown... really? I think JR wasn't willing to pay big money to a rookie if we ended up with a high pick. It was also a "fix" for when we didn't plan on payng Peppers big money. He killed two birds w/ one stone... or at least tried to.

I've always thought this was a "going cheap" move, but I never had the answer to why until the talks of the lock out became bigger. I could be dead wrong since we let Delhomme walk away w/ that nice chunk of change for nothing, but it's something I've wondered and thought about in the past.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
