They aren’t comparable but having a popular owner in the NFL isn’t the same as other sports. In the NFL having a popular GM or coach is far more important. I really don’t see having a (presumably) popular owner as a draw what so ever for any potential free agent. The organization as a whole needs to be strong. It won’t be popular thing to say but JR was a popular owner to his players and headed a strong organization. Until....

I have said it before and will say will say it again. The best thing for us as fans is to have the strongest owner/ownership group from a business perspective. With great leadership and strong appointments at key positions this organization will thrive and Charlotte will never be without a team. If we get stuck with a bunch of celebrities and popular characters it may be fun for a year or two but the organization will decline if not managed well.  I don’t want a circus for ownership. 

Completely agree.

If they're about anything other than good football, I'm not interested.

Having a competent GM in the NFL matters. The Rams were able to offload some of their role players on a star studded defensive front 7 to get two Top 15 corners in Peters and Talib. The Panthers have never had that much talent in one position group other than Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. Not to mention they still have their cogs up front.
