ESPN.com ranks the 10+ best owners in the league


Recommended Posts

thats a silly list... they might as well have asked us. Carries about the same merit.

We'll see these kinda stories coming up until the lockout gets resolved.

which reminds me... Does anyone think that the list for 100 greatest players of 2010-2011 is kind of long and stupid? How do you follow that up every year? Its garbage.

i don't see us. i guess i'm looking in the wrong place. doesn't matter though. if Richardson is a bad owner then why do the rest of the owners have him speaking for them?

JR is a good owner....he just has taken an epic PR hit in the last year and a half.

They did. That turned out to be a disaster, so they muzzled him.

Jerry Richardson is also the #1 reason why we currently have a lockout going on.

I think this is pretty valuable with a 'small market' team...

#12...given the years of existence and where we are located. I'm thinking Jerry has done a tremendous job at growing this franchise.

All depends on what you mean by being a "good" owner. Is Richardson good at squeezing every last bit of revenue from every source available to him? Sure, he's definitely a business god. How does that help anyone but him and his investors though? Does that help the fans? Nope, he raised ticket prices last year. Does that help the team? Nope, he gutted it and we went 2-14. Does that help the league? Nope, he's spearheading the lockout and making people think less highly of the league everyday.

If being a good owner means you're good at making money, then Jerry Richardson is a GREAT owner. But by every other parameter, he's been lousy for quite some time.

    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix has only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
    • The Canes physically dominated 2 of the top 16 teams in the league this calendar month. If you truly believe Florida is just that much more physical than us, then what does that say about the rest of the league? Why didn't they go 82-0 this year, if they are orders of magnitude better than every other team?
