If owners can lock out players can fans lock out owners?

[Future of the Funchise]

If so I think we should get together and work on that because we've pretty much been guaranteed an substandard shitty product for the next few years that none of us are going to happy with.

J.R. better not screw us and hirer Dick Juron as our next head coach because he's cheap. Just sayin.

And if he wants to make money instead of fuging raising ticket and concession prices how about winning and getting people into the stands? I think that might work a little bit better.

Sorry for the rant I've just been getting irratated by all the poo that I've been reading.

Sure. Just don't buy merchandise, tickets, etc.

I on the other hand still would like to support this team

JR has NEVER been cheap. I don't know if you just started watching football this season. But JR offered Julius Peppers to be the highest paid defensive players in the league after only a 2.5 sack season. JR just saw this year as one to dump the extra weight and rebuild. This was the best year to make a sacrifice for the future of the team. I agree things could of been handled better. But to call JR cheap puts a giant red stamp on your forehead saying "I do not know football"

Enough said.

I've been a Panthers fan since they came into existence when I was 9 yrs old. I just haven't been paying attention to much that's going on lately other than watching the games. I guess I've just been sucked into the propaganda and bullshit they spew on ESPN.

[bigdog10]

We will not know the ramifications of this season until 3-5 years down the road and after the CBA is reached.

In 3-5 years we will either look back on what JR did and praise him for steering this franchise in a direction that has put us in position to win multiple titles

or

We will curse his name for setting this franchise back to far to recover.

In my opinion, our fan base needs to grow some balls, sit back, and judge this franchise from a futuristic perspective.

Richardson hasn't been cheap but that doesn't mean he will or won't be in the future. Plus going cheap isn't necessarily good or bad, it depends on the results. Right now Tampa at 10-6 looks pretty good for a historically cheap team. Other teams like Green Bay and New England are in the bottom half of the team salaries in spending but in the top half in performance.

What you can't do though is build through the draft unless you hit on your picks and avoid taking fliers on projects who take years to develop. Plus you need to sprinkle in free agents as well although they don't have to be expensive.

We will see whether Richardson is cheap or not based on who he signed among our players whose contracts are expiring.

You forgot..... No More Bo time

I'll be pissed at the greedy Union if their is a lockout, not the owners. They take none of the Risk and want to dictate their wages via Force.

[Montsta]

Wow...Im only guilty of two of those things.

I actually watch Sunday Ticket on my Samsung, and then drive my F150 on Bridgestone tires to the store at halftime to buy Coors Light with my Visa card.

So I'm kinda screwed.
