JR reiterates a "total commitment to winning"

[CatMan72]

Kudos to JR for poking fun at himself over the whole "timetables can be tricky" remark, LOL

I like the sound of it, now show me the money.

[Lumps]

dammit we should have demanded his assurance last year...

[SCP]

Well I'm f*ckin pumped.

[panthers55]

If all of a sudden we are now committed to doing everything to be competitive and bring a championship to the Carolinas,what have we been doing over the past couple of years?

This seems like an admission of sorts that we have not really been doing everything we could. This just confirms what many of us have been saying about JR putting out an inferior product and not doing everything to ensure a winner. Otherwise he didn't need to tell us about something he has been doing all along. Unless of course he hasn't.

Or it could be he was kind of shifting the blame to the people who were here and now aren't. If that's the case with the firing of his sons and Fox, people he could say weren't doing enough was his "commitment" to improving.

Hate that he didn't mention Smitty... Cuts like a knife

[prowler2k8]

Yup, like I said......

Still one of the most profund and introspective posts I've read on this forum, LP. Makes alot of sense. I've always felt the 2008 playoff debacle was the beginning of the end for Fox. Can't wait to see how the team will respond under the new regime.

When JR fails to mention Smitty among the core players, it's an ominous sign. Trades start tomorrow.

heh for such a rich man, he has a crummy signature.

It's called cursive writing. I know you young'uns don't know what this is.

He has had very serious health issues.

That's true. this isn't a good omen.

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

Maybe dementia is setting in......maybe?

[SevenSixes]

Looks like JR is back in the saddle.

"You have my assurance we will make the necessary investments and aggressively pursue every avenue to make that dream come true."

A clear deviation from the past couple years.
