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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
