A lot of people have been hard on Richardson through this whole lockout, making him look like a divider, not a uniter...

But below is a lengthy video of several interviews with some owners following the NFL Owners ratification of the agreement.

Some high praise from some big time owners here, even from Jerry Jones! Repeated comments on his leadership skills.

Go Jerry.

Seems like most of the criticism on JR (ironically) came from people here. I think most "in the know" understood that this was a negotiation and most of the moves by either side was to try and gain an advantage.

I thought the Brees and Manning comments were great. Fact of the matter is JR is one of the few people that can say he not only knows football, but he also knows business. On top of this, he is still a hand shake kind of guy which is refreshing in such a non-hand shake world.

The owners got more money from the players than in the previous cba and jerry was one of the leaders.

Ofcourse the owners like him.

Money talks.

Guess you didn't watch the video.

The owners didn't get everything they wanted, but still arrived at a place all 31 of them could agree on. (Scabface doesn't count).

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
