Simple question regarding JR and the negotiations

I'm probably a little slow, and I haven't read the other thread about how we need to STFU if we're angry at JR, so if this was asked and answered there please forgive me.

What I'm curious about is where all the information about negotiations is coming from. It seems to me that about 90-95% of it is either given to the media by their lawyer directly, or it shows up on PFT as speculation based on something a player has said. Now, am I wrong about this?

And that begs another question. When has Florio ever had anything nice to say about the Panthers? As long as JR is leading the negotiations, I just about expect him to have something negative to say about the owners, although he's really just acting as their messenger.

If I'm wrong about that, I'm sorry. But if it makes sense to you, and you've been bashing JR based on something either DeMaurice Smith or Mike Florio has reported, doesn't it make you feel kind of like a douche about now?

It's pretty clear they're using JR as the "bad cop". I don't think you'll hear anyone say otherwise. That to me means that they may be trying to break up the union.

If they're interested in making a deal, they'll find a way to shut JR up.

JR was the bad cop way before that. He is leading the owners in negotiations and they have been bashing him since last year. Nothing new except they used two of the most popular players to try to sway the fans to the NFLPA.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
