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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
