Should Jerry's statue stay?

With this kind of talk it makes me wonder how TF Ben Roethlisberger is even still in this league.

Roethlisberger did his thing long before #metoo.

So I guess Jerry's face midfield is out of the question?

Statues are dumb

No

I've never been a fan of statues, period. It's a team game. Ring of Honor type recognition...retiring numbers...et. al., sure...but I don't like statues. As much as I love Sam, I think they both should come down.

Yes keep it. He is the sole reason that the Panthers exist as they do and that the Carolinas got a football team when they did. He's a great historical figure in Panthers history and deserves his place. You can recognize how important somebody was in something while still acknowledging the flaws. OJ Simpson is still in the hall of fame...

[Manther]

I don't think even Jerry wants the statue.

Remove JR and hide him in the basement but keep the Panthers for now.  Then when we get a new stadium debut a "History" park where old great players and past owners are displayed and quietly place the JR statue back with ones of Jpep, Smitty catching the X clown, Sam Mills etc...  It would be great for fans and would allow us to remember the history that is our team without making it a big deal.  We need the dust to settle on JR and let him pass away before we do anything to honor him for what his did do positively for the Carolinas.  Eventually we need a way to remember all past owners and statues aren't a terrible idea.

Me myself, i think it should stay but if i was Tepper im going to have that poo ripped up tomorrow and replace it with one of myself with enormous balls

[jasonluckydog]

Yes! But make it bigger

[Isaac]

Fug it, throw Luke's handsome ass up there.

[Jesse]

I say Tepper melt them down for a new pair of brass balls to rub on gamedays. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I expect the statue to come down shortly after the sale closes, but I hope a big deal isn't made about it. Just take it down and be done with it.

owner's shouldn't have statue. it's super egotistical. players and coaches yes.
