Is JR Hiding Behind His Coach and his QB?

Anyone else bothered that JR isn't more present and hasn't had a press conference? He knows his QB and coach (and other players) have to get in front of a mic every week and take questions from the media. It seems to me like he is hiding behind them and letting them take all the questions from the press. They have to go out there and be the ones that confront this with the media while JR doesn't show his face. 

Maybe I'm being unfair but this is starting to piss me off.

He rarely does press conferences so it isn't unusual.   I'm not sure why you are personally annoyed by it.  And FYI, Cam and Ron are required to do them.  They don't have to comment on the situation.

JR facing the media now would be a colossal mistake. Any lawyer or PR person on the planet would want him shipped off to Tahiti right now. Everyone on the team has been briefed on how to handle things, and of course they have a new interim manager they want to make look good during the crisis. I don't like Jerry talking to the media on good days because he could say anything at any time, this isn't even in the wheelhouse.

Fair enough.

I agree with OP but rather than make me angry it convinces me selling the team and stepping down right away was the right thing to do.  Octogenarians rarely change, especially those that have built huge business empires.  And I also agree any lawyer worth his/her salt would not allow JR near a microphone.

The mans in his 80s. I wouldn’t want my 80 something year old father in front of the media either. Give him a break.

Dude was running the team. If he can't talk then he shouldn't have been.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
