Jerry Richardson q&a

[pantherclaw]

Read the bold sentence. The year we made a big move in FA, we went to the Super Bowl.

There where to big moves in fa. There were a bunch of role players signed.

Davis was a great pickup, but it wasn't even close to being one of the big splashes in that years free agency. We filled needs with affordable fa's.

I guess you are bringing this up to compare it against this off season, where the average fa was at lest 28 or older. We have also been drafting players/building the team for years. It is time to get those players more involved with the team. Let them step up and become the contibuters there were drafted to be.

Forget about him?

I'm not sure if Davis was considered a "big" free agent, since he was easily released by the foreskins. Plus, even if he was considered as a significant free agent, the majority of well-known free agents we've signed in the past resulted to be a disappointment, with the exception of Davis, Wahle (in '05), & Harris (if you'll consider Harris a "well-known" free agent

Forget about him?

Plus, Davis turned out to be useful for just one season, even thought it was a BIG season. Davis got injured in '04 & again in '05

It's a good interview, as has been said, it really shows he's the guy in charge of this approach.

I appreciate that the Panthers have been doing very well in the draft & with low level FAs, which continue to stock & improve our team. Last year we had a strong team, but Fox's stubborness (& ridiculous lyalty to) Delhomme took away every opportunity for success.

I see Fox 'slowly' learning to play the guy who is playing the best, but it is taking time. I am more & more sold on Richardson keeping both Fox & Hurney. I like Richardson's candor & leadership.

Jerry is a Champeen and a class act. The league is EXTREMELY fortunate to have someone like him helping to call the shots and make decisions. Being a former player, of distinction I might add, I'm pretty sure his actions have the league AND the players best interests mind.

Best owner in the league...hands down. He's truly one of a kind.

Same here. We're thankful to have a owner like him here, unlike Al Davis.

[Wither]

Now, if the Panthers win a championship ASAP he will get the attention he deserves for being such a good owner.

JR is an ok owner but he's definitely not as great as people make him out to be. He has his faults despite what people think. He was definitely the one behind the Chris Harris trade with his bullshit "internal budget". Not only did Fox leak that out but Harris's own agent did as well. Lucky for JR he has Fox and Hurney to take the blame for his decisions by the fans so he can still be percieved as this perfect owner (which he is far from being)

[Ohio]

He said were not a big spender, under Marty Hurney. Which suggests we could be, if we had a different GM. We're a big draft day trader, I'll tell you that much. And trading for Armanti Edwards and giving up a 2nd rounder better pay off

Wonder who owns the team after JR? Stay's in the family or sold to the highest bidder?

That is a great question.The topic would make a good new thread,in my opinion.
