Did not say he was drunk, he had slurred speech at times, bounced around alot of topics, and mis-stated some facts about the teams records and years of certain games....old age is not friendly. I wonder if he is being sheltered due to failing mental health, and therefore not been in the public eye giving his annual interviews? Just a thought.

I sent him a letter last Thursday. Told him I have been a PSL owner for 16 years. Went to the Super Bowl. In the letter I stated that I was very frustrated with the way this year has turned out He called me last night at 6:30, told me the same as he did the others. I still can’t believe that an owner of a NFL team called. I think my wife sh# t in her pants when he said this is Jerry Richardson with the Carolina Panthers can I talk to your husband. Yes he sounded tired, but he also sounded very sincere. The more I think about it, the more impressed I am. You may or may not believe this but it happen. I don’t care if you believe it of not. I AM A PANTHER FAN!

I do believe all these claims. He does still care about the fans. If we suck this bad the next year there is football...different story. This is really the first time the team has been this bad. Even in '01 the team could score and made games interesting. This year it's just like 7-0....game over.

We'll see how a complete overhaul goes. I expect D-Williams, Steve Smith, and a few other vets from the old days to be gone after this year and we'll see how the team responds.

I imagine this season (and the past few, for that matter) have really taken a toll on him. Let alone what he's been through with his sons and his heart transplant.

Add to that making all of these personal calls, and it's not surprising he's reading from a script, and sounding tired.

Oh, and if he reads the Huddle here, that would explain the slurred speech, because I would be drinking too :lol:

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
