Yas: Why the Carolina Panthers are relevant

Recommended Posts

I was driving Sunday and listening to Sirius NFL Radio when I heard something that really bothered me.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has a leading role in the NFL labor negotiations.

Alex Marvez and Zig Fracassi were hosting the show and, as always, doing a fine job. But it was one of their callers that really struck a nerve with me.

“Who is Jerry Richardson?’’ the caller said.

It didn’t take much to factor in tone and the rest of what he had to say to figure out he was saying something like, “Why is this nobody from Mayberry running the labor negotiations?’’

The caller went on to say the Carolina Panthers, the team Richardson owns, isn’t relevant. Then, he dropped the bomb that I thought was totally unfair and out of bounds.

“If the Carolina Panthers ever got into the Super Bowl, how many people would really care about (Richardson’s) team? Maybe 10,000,’’ he said.

The Panthers only super bowl is widely regarded as one of the best super bowls of all time

I hate dumbass fans who know nothing about football.

This place must drive you crazy.

Eh....it doesn't really bother me. I can't get upset by every dumbass on earth.

...and all the fans of these other teams refuse to acknowledge that JR is doing what's he's doing in the Labor negotiations because the owner of their team appointed him to do it.

The instant their owners didn't approve of the way JR was doing things they could pull the plug on him, so what does that tell you?

They appointed JR because they knew he was one of the few owners that had the balls to stare Peyton Manning and Drew Brees down and be the "bad guy".

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
