"Time to bench Jerry Richardson"

[Delhommey]

49% > 40% still a pay raise from the original CBA that the owners shat themselves over to keep un-interupted play in '06. Again, nice try. The gottcha crap is so damn irksome around here.

Counting the last 4 years as something that actually happened is "gotcha"?

I mean...

Really?

I'll call a spade a spade. This is a power grab by the owners. Corporate greed at it's finest. Not too surprising given the corporate environment we are living through in this day and age. Most franchises including ours are very profitable. Work out a solution where both sides benefit instead of being in a win lose mentality which is exactly what is happening right now.

I think the panthers should embrace it. embrace being perceived as some type of villain. carry that on the field. sort of like the old Raiders.

[Delhommey]

Our owner is starting to remind me more of the new Raiders.

Now that is a great attitude!

[BuckNaked]

fug em. Cut them all and start over with a hard cap on each position. I guarantee you in 3 years you won't see a difference in the talent on the field. they are all way overpaid.

Yeah but you also will not see a lowering of ticket prices.

Except they aren't a corporation, but way to throw around the buzz words.

Richardson's sons didn't run any of the football side of the franchise. Yet its some big conspiracy. It's not always best for the family to be in the business. They wanted more control, JR wouldn't give it to them. They walked. Oh well.

Get over it already.

You take that back! He's put a winning product on the field before.

Maybe every other year if we are lucky. And to the other guy who remembers my avy and posts, you can gladly fug off. I'll be a fan when I want and of who I want, so suck a dick.

Our owner is starting to remind me more of the new Raiders.

If anybody remembers, Al Davis tried to go cheap on the league once in an effort to save money. Tagliabue told him if he couldn't field a competitive team, he would be forced to sell it.

Jerry strikes me as someone who is business smart but not very football savvy relative to other owners

Don't you understand that the other owners have placed him in the position of negotiating for them? What don't you get about that?

Now I have to provide a link for what was and still is common knowledge?

Whatever.
