If the Huddle was Southpark, this thread is Imaginationland

I agree 100%. It's nice to hear his name as the few how actually attend these meetings and proceedings.

Jerry was appointed to lead the labor negotiations for the NFL owners. It would be unusual to not hear his name in attendance at these meetings.

This guy is just really awesome! He's there for everything dealing with this lockout. He handed Cam that playbook with a quickness, which is allowing Cam to work 12 hour days down in FL, and has allowed (cringe) Weinke to work with him in the playbook.

We will have a HUGE advantage when it comes to picking up undradted free agents as well... Think about it... Jerry will be THERE in. The room when the lockout is lifted!! He undoubtedly already has the list of players we want.

All he'll have to do is call Marty and Co. And tell them to call them and sign them right then! Nobody else will even know that it's lifted before him and few others, we'll hear breaking news on ESPN or a tweet from Schefter and by that time we'll have the players that we've been targeting!

He's already looking like a Genius with the Cam pick...

I'm just very grateful to have him as our owner especially since he is a former player. The more I think about the end of the lockout the more excited I get.

I have a strong feeling that our franchise will do something very special this season! It's gonna be a GREAT year to be a Panthers fan!!!!

Not arguing that JR is a good owner. But I'm pretty sure he let Hurney and staff deal with the draft and he didn't give Cam the playbook the coaches did.

Jerry Richardson is the primary reason we have an NFL team. He will always have my loyalty and respect. He isn't perfect but without JR, we would not have a team to complain about.

I'll have what hes smoking

[Brooklyn Bully]

He is average at best as an owner. God bless him for giving the Carolinas a NFL franchise, and be in awe of his business skills. But the man at the top is responsible for four winning seasons in 16 years.

But hey, he gave Cam a playbook and will beat other teams to the FA punch!!! Superbowlllllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Did you actually WATCH the press conference he gave?

There's a reason he's done about what...5 press conferences? 6?
