Weird guy...just my gut feeling.

Part of that feeling is his "feeling" for Rhule...you know...because he's a PA guy.  That's strange.

I understand "having a feeling", but my "feelings" get a lot better when somebody has a proven track record.

With Matt Rhule, I'd feel a lot better if his accomplishments had occurred somewhere like Ohio State or Georgia. It's similar to how I feel when we draft an offensive lineman from West Mudbuck University vs a guy from, say, Nebraska or Oklahoma.

Again, high hopes, but skeptical until I can see some results.

Jones is a tool...Tepper answered the question & Jones didn’t like his answer so he acted like an a$$

typical media...Jones has always thought he was the story

Fug that. When the richest guy in the league is talking about how difficult of a decision it was to lay off twice as employees as any other owner it's a perfectly valid question. Jones is a journalist not a team publicist.

bull123 worships rich people and will cape for them in any circumstance. 

[Devil Doc]

Is there any evidence of other teams laying off employees? Maybe the layoff was already scheduled or needed, and he was holding off as long as he could?

[thefuzz]

To be quite honest though....he may know very little of what all is going on with the troops on the ground.

 

I know a few folks with net worth in the B's...I can tell you that they hire people under them to run their businesses, and they trust them.  If an accountant comes to them and says we need to lay off some folks....their answer may be why?  But that's about it.  The ones I know would likely try to find another spot for them to work...but may not.

Not making excuses, but usually the guys with B's in front of their net worth don't really know all the in's and out's of the day to day business.

 

That said, he's not a great speaker, we have seen that a few times now.

I am still not sure if most people should care about this at all. I care because I consider some of the folks that got let go to be friends. 

But nothing that happened had to do with actual football. None of it will have an impact on games. It is all behind the scenes stuff that gets shuffled around with each new regime. Such is the way with literally every other business out there. New owners, new people.

jones is an angry biased guy looking to make a name for himself...always has been

Of course he is looking to make a name for himself in his profession. He is doing it by asking tough relevant questions. Thats what good journalists do.

he is not the story...that's the problem with much of the press, they are not the story

At no point has he ever made himself the story. I know JJ. He is a good guy and a solid reporter. As solid as they come.

richardson was a Carolina guy & you all hated him

Aside from the office allegations, the man behaved and dressed like the owner of a football franchise. He stayed out of the media and his devotion to be Carolinas was unquestionable, and he remained a class act, now all we have is questionable.

There's some ladies from around the Panthers offices who might disagree with you on that part.

Image if he kept them on the pay-roll, each would have never forgot and became loyal lifers for Tepper.
