One question I’ve heard from a lot of readers in recent weeks is how future free agents might view Carolina owner Jerry Richardson after he’s taken a hard-line stance throughout the labor talks.

There have been some reports that Richardson insulted Peyton Manning in a meeting the day before the Super Bowl. Richardson and Manning have been silent about that and New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, who was in the room at the time, said the reports were overblown.

Either way, let’s address the question on the minds of many Carolina fans about Richardson and if players will want to play for him in the future. Let’s turn to the best and most recent indication.

Really guys? A guy that no one else wanted and we happened to sign has good things to say about the 1, repeat ONE, guy that gave him a chance?

You guys are using this as some form of evidence one way or another?

Not taking a side here because I don't care either way but that's like saying Newton's QB coach says he is the best so we should definitely draft him #1.

I'm just saying. Like Shockey would get his last chance with a team when no one else wanted him and come out and say "JR really is a duesch and hates the players"

People need to use their heads.

This same logic was used when people cited Cam's paid personal QB coach when compliments came out about him. Or when they cited Cam's mentors.

Or when Weiss spoke highly of Clausen.

Fug, just fug

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
