well.. it's true

 

So what? Was Jerry Richardson, a self made billionaire, over the line when we was put off by having to debate business and economics with two players that specialize in pocket passing? The only publicity stunt he's done is trying to have a discussion with two famous quarterbacks who are names but not experts in the relevant field.

I don't get where all the venom for JR comes from. I see a man who is a hard nosed negotiator and businessman, but who has demonstrated on many occasions his humanity, his concern for people, and his generosity. In the final analysis, if it wasn't for Mr. Richardson, I would still be cheering for some other team, since there would be no football in the Carolinas. That is a terribly sad thing to contemplate! I met JR outside the stadium at the Rams game. The only thing I wanted from him was to shake his hand and thank him for for two decades of Panther football. He's okay in my book.

Many of Jerry's contemporaries are family friends of ours from when my folks lived in downtown Spartanburg in the early 70's and they will almost all tell you one thing about Jerry Richardson: He is a horrid human being that made his fortune off of his partner's hard work and smarts. I don't know of anybody that has nice things to say about him from the old neighborhood.

And I personally remember when our school went from making lunches themselves to having to be supplied by Spartan Foods. We went from delicious, balanced, homemade meals to cheap-as-you-can-make-it slop.

Yeah he brought the team here, but he is nothing to be proud of for sure.

I am not a fan of Richardson as an owner.  I think he is a great business man, that knows how to make the Panthers profitable for his investors.  I will never forgive him for the crap he pulled in 2010.  I'm sorry.  That proved to me that he cares more about money and profit than winning.  I don't want that in an owner.  And of course he's going to take care of his players.  They are his product.  They are business assets.  Greg Olsen helps him make money!

The real question is, who cares? Writers judge owners by how successful their teams are.. That why you don't see these type of articles for guys like crazy Jim Irsay, or drunk old man Jerry Jones who is hitting up the club scene and cussing people out in public.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
