Coach John Fox reacted to the news after Thursday's practice that Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has been put on a heart-transplant list.

"We've been familiar that he's not been feeling well. It's good news they know what's wrong. Now he can just get healthy and we're confident he will."

On how fortunate he feels to have Richardson as the Panthers' owner: "I'm blessed to be here. This business is hard. He played the game and understands football. I have the utmost respect for him and what he's done, the work ethic he has and the class he has."

On why it's important that Richardson was once an NFL player: "He's been in the trenches. He's been in those rooms. He understands how hard it is."

On Richardson's style as an owner: "One of the big things when I interviewed was communication. That's a big part of any business and this is a business. There's a football side and a business side and he's been a good blend of those things. He gets it."

I think it goes without saying the entire Panther nation/family is hoping that he gets the heart and can get better soon.

We are indeed fortunate to have the BEST owner in the league.

I'm definitely thankful to him for bringing the Panthers to us. My life wouldn't be the same without them.

Another prayer vigil for Mr. Richardson!!!

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
