Has JR Alienated the Panther Fanbase?

Given the roster going into the 2010 season and the post-season admission by JR that he wanted a youth movement and he thought he'd force Fox to coach a youth movement; the debacle of a presser; his rather insolent manner in handling the CBA machinations and his never-ending antagonistic, smart-ass relationship with the press...

Has he alienated the Panther fanbase or has the curtain hiding the real Oz just come crashing down and now all can see him for what he really is- just another big businessman who couldn't care less about the fans filling his stadium.

JR could have made all the roster cuts he made in 2010 and Carolina could have been MUCH MUCH more competitive with a different coach and QB.

JR screwed up by not firing Fox and letting him coach in 10.....JR hasn't screwed up enough to hold that one move against him.

I swear it's like short term sacrifice for long term gain is a totally foreign concept around here.

He gambled to some extent and lost, as a result we're still much better off as a result. We'll have plenty of money when the CBA is reached and we now have a young core with actual game time experience.

Did I like going 2-14 and being damn near unwatchable at times? No, but the future is bright friends and if you want to blame JR for that, then you have my blessing.

Personally I'm thankful to have one of the most influential and revered owners in the league and to a larger extent in professional sports.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
