For those of you thinking JR is out of touch with the modern NFL:

He’s planning to change the Panthers’ philosophy. For years the team leaned on a tough defense. But now he says the NFL is so offense-oriented that offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches are nearly as important as head coaches. Richardson said the Panthers will hire a new head coach first, but then go hard at offensive assistants. And no matter the coaches, he says the Panthers are going to open up.

“The NFL has changed, in the last five years, dramatically,” he said. “We would be foolish not to stay in sync with that… We didn’t score enough points. First thing, they (fans) want us to win. But after that, they want us to score points and they want excitement.”

But I'm glad to see JR acknowledging that it's time for a philosophical change... as far as communicating with fans, I think it would be smart for JR to do a blog on panthers.com where he can more succinctly organize and communicate his thoughts.

He knew he was going to beat on the press a little bit in the press conference so I think his ramblings about email, cell phones and blondes were an attempt to be disarming and take some of the sting out of his criticism, but it just came off as confusing and a little bit creepy.

Bottom line, I still have faith in JR's ability to lead us to the promised land.

well, this was encouraging...

...and for those of you arguing that the press conference was not a mess, why would he be apologizing if he thought it went well?

You may have agreed or been entertained with what he was saying, but from a PR standpoint it was a disaster.

I wonder if he had Luck in mind when he stated that or Jimmy..?:D

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
