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

I'd like you to point out the part of my post where I said those things.

What I said is that he's mentioned because he's going to have input. In fact I pretty plainly said I didn't think he would micromanage the draft. But you are foolish if you think he doesn't have some input on the decision and even moreso if you don't think his input is shaping the overall direction of the team at the moment.

The nutshell Cliff's Notes version? He's mentioned because he'll have some input...and having input PLUS being the owner makes you relevant.

Going from having input to "do you think JR will draft..." is a pretty big difference don't you think?

Here is the title of your original post: "Why do people keep mentioning JR when it comes to drafting or signing players?"

This is what I responded to.

Did you read the OP or just the title? If you read the forum, you would see how many people make that statement.

I get what you're saying, but doesn't signing the check build the roster?

No, JR will sign the check regardless. He keeps Hurney around because he trusts his decisions to build the roster. JR's reach does not extend to scouting or personnel.

He wants very badly to be like the Steelers so he finds people that can achieve his vision. But he has little influence on the GM or scouting decisions.

This year is the only year I've seen him take charge of the entire roster and it should be the last for at least 4 years.

      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
