Jerry Richardson interview on the stadium renovation.

It always irks me how Jerry has that NFL pin on his suit. That's great, don't get me wrong but I think the most important thing to him should be the Panthers or Charlotte or the Carolinas. How about a Crown pin or a Carolinas pin. Let the customers know we are number one.

I always love it when JJ Watt or Russell Wilson say "Go Hawks" or "Go Texans". So many times players don't show any pride in their employers. They rep Laker shirts and College hats. As a fan it makes me happy to see my players are proud to be Panthers.

Not kissing anything, just defending a man that I hold in high regard for reasons that have nothing to do with the Panthers. The reporter's question was valid. I don't live in Charlotte or have any idea who that reporter is, but he seemed very eager for a story and I get the feeling he wanted any comment that could be printed out of context. People in the public have to be guarded because of the press.

    • Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that. 
    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
