Perspectives of an NFL Owner & Team Management

This may be scattered, but I'll give it a shot:

I think there is a lot of confusion going around concerning the balance of decision making within our organization. This extends everywhere from building the team to finding a coach to running the financial sect. So I want to pose a question and see what people tend to think:

A good deal of owners in the league are elderly and quiet. For every Jerry Jones, you have a Spanos, Bidwill, Richardson, etc.

When you have one of the less show boaty owners as we do, its hard to find out how everything is run internally and how much of JR's personal views on who we should sign and move actually come into play. So, do you honestly think Richardson oks all of the player movements and etc. or does he actually trust Hurney to do his job? Because I think people are forgetting the role of a GM and simply think he is JR's straight up puppet.

Hurney's interpretation of JR's philosophies along with Richardson trusting him to actually make the right decisions concerning team and new coach are the major factors in getting us on the right track. Not this crap about him being slow, a womanizer, a simpleton or whatever.

So, again: How do you think our organization is run internally? Is Richardson's personal view really the final decision on most matters?

I think he understand's his health problems enough to have people around him he can trust to make moves and these are the people we should be talking about just as much in hoping for us to develop into a better team and a more complete franchise.

Based on what was said in the press conference I'm pretty sure he stated most of the player management was run by Fox and Hurney together..

That is out of the window.. The coach will have a lot less say overall..

There is a philosophy that is set in place and the HC with have to adhere to that.. now I don't know how far that goes, but I'm sure personnel decisions will be influenced as well..

Yep the front office is going to have their hands in more this time around. From player playing and what type of offense and defense we run (not playcalling). Think the new head coach will just be a shell.

That makes sense.

The head coach for the Panthers contrasts with many others around the league. I don't think many people realize Hurney's actual part in putting together our team. Personally, I believe his perspective on many matters is the most important one when it comes to actually obtaining certain player types and adhering to Richardson's overall objectives & philosophy. He the one really implementing things around here from what I can tell...but correct me if that seems a stretch.

The coach will no doubt have a great deal of say in player movement, but he needs to work very closely with Hurney and stay on that man's good side or else it may not be pretty. That's why I think Hurney possibly the most important piece to our puzzle and people are overlooking him from this particular perspective. He's the one JR trusts in assembling our team.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
