Jerry Richardson apologizes to the fans

[Sam Mills Fan]

Actions speak louder than words.

[Proudiddy]

I will celebrate this statement from JR by enjoying another delicious Chicken Supremes Dinner tonight at Bojangles. Thank you JR.

Seriously, I'm thankful that JR actually did this and went through the media to give a public statement.

At least I know he's not planning on moving us now. lol :biggrin:

[Dpantherman]

Well...now we can move it. I don't still don't feel any better...props to JR though for the announcement...big balls.

"...and many of the same players returning..."

Really? So they could be cut? Sorry, I'm not ready to give him a pass just because he read a prepared statement.

[dimbee]

He has never been a media dude.

This is A LOT from Richardson.

I know and I agree that he's not a media dude.

With the way we finished last year, and many of the same players returning, we believed in our opportunity for success.

It seems clear to me: Jerry was counting on Matt Moore.

none of the players he cut would have fixed this...

it's more about who wasn't brought in.

yeah, or at least on the offense performing.

Do you remember when people said we'd have to score big to cover for our huge holes in the D? Haha.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Finally. He gambled, he lost, he admitted it.

Learn from your mistakes, Jerry.

Yep, as was 98% of the fan base.

Offense was clicking end of last season.

JR thought youth would work

It didnt

He said my bad

Lets look forward

It's a hard call. I think the loss of Otah hurt us worse than any other. But no doubt he thought we would be better than what we are.

well like it or not, he said what he had to say, and will move on, as he should. You don't have to give him a pass, but hes not going anywhere...so you're just going to have to deal with it, or not...

[Matt Foley]

Eerily similar to what Jones did in Dallas not so long ago. He and Jones are tight.

[Kakarot]

I was hard on him, and will probably continue to be hard on him, but I can respect this. He manned up and apologized, I respect that. I just hope he can fix this mess that we're in.
