This doesn't even sound like Richardson...

I'm just glad the Steelers game isn't here. When they come here it's usually 25-30% Steeler filled at the stadium. Come this December? I bet it would've been close to 60%.

Panther fans, patience would do us all some good. I've never been more excited for this team, somehow...

Please, elaborate on how going cheap and putting an inferior team on national television every week excites you. Does being a laughingstock give you a hard-on?

[raleigh-panther]

Thank you.

I'm sure every other League owner feels the same way and you don't see them putting a total embarrassment on the field.

I'll remember Jerry's great 'love' for the League when the Panthers come calling for my $4K a year, every year, plus even more on those rare occassions they make the playoff.

Jerry may love his league; but, you know what, he should love his customers just as much. Without his customers ,there is no Panthers and there is no league.

I love my money too. I work pretty damned hard for it. From now on, I'll let it work for me, instead of him.

For those of you who cloak this diaster in the 'Jerry is a great business man with a plan' crap, keep drinking that Kool-Aid, and by the way, do you cough up money as a PSL holder to support 'Jerry's Plan'? Just curious.

He now rocks a Baboon heart, and I think Fox was the recipient of the brain. Davidson would be the heartless and brainless donor.

I've read a lot of different situations about why Richardson is doing this or that. To me, none of it makes sense. The closest reason, I see for this season, is that we are building for the future. Will fans go away? Sure they will. I may be one of them. I stopped watching baseball after their strike. If there is an NFL strike, I'll probably stop watching NFL. Will that make a bit of diffence to JR? No. I'll feel better. I have a feeling if there is a lockout we will be paying per view instead of watching it on broadcast TV.

[CLTPanther]

F U JR! You knew this was a crap season, yet raised the prices anyway. I hope the NFLPA sues your ass for collusion.

not too good with reading comprehension are you?

[WhiteKnight]

Put Armanti Edwards in as QB and stop playing Clausen. Clausen couldn't QB his way out of a paper bag. Moore wasn't the answer. Edwards IS the answer. Then you will all think that Richardson and the others are geniuses.

Agree.

[brian032]

JR probably had is brain replaced while having heart surgery also.

[Pan-Fan]

Or maybe it's just that Jerry owes much of his success to the NFL as an organization. He respects the league and above his own franchise that has made him who he is today, upholds what the NFL has established as "in their best interest." Without the NFL, there is no Carolina, might he think to give back to a business that granted him with an expansion franchise some years ago? Doesn't seem too senile to me. Mr. Richardson handles his franchise and business with class and ethics. Whether we as fans can admit it or not, the league's well-being, to Richardson, is more important than winning at the current time. All teams rebuild, some overhaul when economics call for it.

Panther fans, patience would do us all some good. I've never been more excited for this team, somehow...

Why would Jerry intentionally do something to harm his franchise long term? It doesn't make sense. He is a smart business man. You have to judge him by the body of his work not a single event. Hey - Coke launched NEW Coke...it failed and they went back to the old formula. Hopefully Jerry realizes this NEW Panthers formula ain't working and he goes back to being an beloved owner. I believe he will. I hope he will. Sometime you have to shut down to overhaul. We aren't the only team going thru this. Keep your head up and own the parking lot - we still have Tailgating.

JR will own the parking lot also if he gets his new stadium.

[Squirrel]

Tailgating is going to suck in the Panthers Parking lot. Just wait and see.

As far as Richardson the team is a business first and he is doing what is best for the team longterm. Short term it sucks but people need to see the big picture.
