Why do people keep mentioning JR when it comes to drafting or signing players?

I see it all over the forums. Aren't Ron, assuming he's the guy, and Hurney going to be the main ones deciding on who to sign and who to draft? I assume the main thing Richardson would ever get involved into is how much to pay them, and maybe if there really was exceptional situations that he would be really against, say someone like Michael Vick who is a known felon. I figure JR's involvement in cases like this will be more or less done once the new HC is in place, with the exception of contract and money allocation.

But this isn't the Cowboys folks. I don't see JR micromanaging this team that much, looking into people's college misdemeanor records or whatever other minor negatives a player may have on his resume. That's up to the coach and GM.

seriously though it's because JR for the first time ever highjacked the team so stupid national sportswriters and fans with short memories now think it's going to be this way forever.

Assuming Rivera has more than 3 winning seasons out of 9 JR isn't going to do that again.

You really should read before replying.

I did, and I think you answered your own question.

JR has the final say on everything the Panthers do. This is his team. It's not Ron Rivera's, it's not Marty Hurney's, it's not Danny Morrison's, and it's not his son's.

JR sees this franchise as a business, and any good business runs on a simple system. Can you gain more money than you spend, and can you make good money on your return on investment.

So, if he thinks Player A is wanting too much money, he won't sign them, no matter how bad Rivera or Hurney wants him. Or, if he thinks signing Player B would be a bad idea, because the risk/reward/ROI isn't high enough, then he won't take them.

JR does NOT micromanage the team. Where the heck is everyone getting this? It's always been Hurney and Fox. And now it will be Hurney and Ron.

Money is the only time I see JR getting involved, and like I stated, exceptional situations.

So you're telling me that Hurney just signs players and then he let's JR know after the fact?

Besides, money is what drives the league. So yeah, I'd say JR has his fair share of say in the matter.

Ok I think you miss the point.

You really believe Hurney and the HC would say "ok we need Fairley to fill our DT position" and JR would go," no, I wanna draft an OT"?

Please put down the pipe.

The reason why I would say JR is deciding is because he is rebuilding this franchise in HIS philosophy so I would figure he would have a say so on who we pick. I could be wrong but I am only assuming. I also say that because in the interview from Tuesday didn't he say it was his decision to cut all the vets so the young players would have to play? That would mean he is deciding who comes and goes here.

JR trusts Hurney to do his job. That's why a GM is there.

A number one overall pick, yeah JR may have the final say...but this is Hurney & Ron's roster to build.

JR will NOT be deciding our roster. LOL! It's ridiculous to think that. People need to stop.

And I haven't heard anyone from the club, or media, or inside source make the statement that JR is rebuilding the franchise in HIS philosophy all by himself. All that means is JR will find a coach with a different philosophy similar to what he wants but let him and the GM do their damn jobs.

Jerry Jones is the only owner I know that gets that involved in roster building.

      Panthers post game. Thomas Davis and J Stew

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The receivers got little separation, the receivers also ran wrong  routes in the same area at least once and of course xL being his usual self.   the oline was not top notch, in either run or pass pro the defense had moments  their stats ion 3rd down, really bad and stupid penalties   The defense had 4 chances at turnovers and missed them all  the offensive game  plan and its execution was as flawed as always  and did not work the middle of the field and per Jonathan Stewart, that is how to attack that seattle defense .   add it all up, they weren't winning that game particularly with Bryce as the leader of that orchestra offensively  the problem is it has to be perfect for Young  and he has to have short  fields   That is mot going to happen consistently  I dont know what the future holds for this team but i just do not see the play calling and execution from that offense with the canales idzik young marriage  being productive against better coaches and teams  a whole lot of draft choices and money  spent  on the offensive side of the ball   It is not working out and had Dowdle not been super man in games 5 and 6, no chance on this season  I hope they win  sunday and make the playoffs  it is good thing for many reasons  it will also be a spotlight…either young can play in big  moments or he cant, same for Canales and the rest of the players
