Lucky 6

Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson will miss the NFL annual meetings for the second consecutive year, a team spokesman said Thursday.

Panthers spokesman Steven Drummond said Richardson is in good health, but two long flights in a short span to and from Phoenix, the site of next week’s meetings, would be too taxing on him.

Richardson, who will turn 81 in July, did not attend last year’s league-wide gathering in Florida because he had scheduled shoulder surgery the same week.

Former team president Danny Morrison represented the Panthers at the owners table in 2016. But Morrison resigned in February and the team has not named his successor.

The Panthers’ six-member executive team will vote on behalf of Richardson in Phoenix, according to Drummond.

Since Richardson won't be attending the meeting, who are the lucky 6 executive team members that will?

I'd imagine the names would come from this list:

Who? Unknown. Only person I'd feel comfortable guessing is Richard Thigpen (team counsel). Maybe Charlie Drayton.

I sincerely doubt it's Jackie Miles or someone in another functional position like that. Also don't see it being Gettleman or Beane, but I could be wrong.

They might send the Head Groundskeeper, Tom Vaughan. 

You never know with the Panthers...

If the Big Cat cant handle two three-hour flights (ive made that east-coast-to-Phoenix trip many times), then it kinda makes me worry about his health, no matter what the team reps say. i realize he is really getting long in the tooth now, but at 81, you still ought to be able to handle those two trips, especially a few days to a week apart

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
