Ownership

[Lakelover]

I believe our only hope in becoming relevant in the league again is to have new ownership here or for JR to hire someone like Polian to run the team and step aside.  JR has overpaid players but has gone the cheap route in coaching and management since Siefert.   Polian is a proven winner and talent evaluator (who evaluation of Cam will probably disappoint loads of Panther's fans when he is proven right).   I will always thank JR for getting the Panthers here.  I will always fault him for overstaying his welcome.

Stop

[davos]

Bill isn't returning to management.  If we're talking Chris P, hell no

[Mr. Scot]

Bill Polian was fired from his last job for good reason, and frankly he was overrated to begin with.  Peyton made him look better than he was.

 

We don't need a new GM.

 

Coaching?  Yeah.

Told me all I needed to know about JR and the  organization when Andrew Luck decided to stay at Stanford and not  come here.

You mean the guy who wanted to finish his degree from one of the most prestigious schools in the country, who admitted he has pulled for the Panthers since he seen them in the Super Bowl?

You also just pointed out that JR "overpaid" people. Regardless that that statement is absurd, and not the truth, but players would want to play here knowing they'll get paid extra.

relevant again?  when were the Panthers relevant to begin with?

LOL!  You actually believe that nonsense?  I'm not saying Luck ducked us.  Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.  Maybe he just really enjoyed college life and being a college QB.  Can't knock him for that.  But, you can always finish a degree in the offseason like Cam did.  If you have a chance to be the #1 overall pick AND go to the team that you've pulled for since '03, you fuging GO.  At least he let us down nicely and didn't pull a douche move like the Mannings did with Eli with the Chargers.

 

Either way, I ain't even mad.  Cam Newton isn't our problem.

I think he just wanted to try and win a national championship, honestly. I harbor no ill will towards the guy for it like a lot of Panthers fans.

[Kitten Diver]

I'm glad Luck chose not to come here. He's too good for this dumpster fire. The panthers deserve Cam and Cam deserves the panthers.

I believe it.

 

Luck said long before he ever became a top prospect that he wanted to finish school in four years, and he did.

 

His dad also called Jerry to advise him the panthers had nothing to do with his choice.  He said he respected jerry Richardson as an owner and would have been happy to have Andrew play here.

 

[TheRed]

Hell no on Bill Polian. Keep him far far far away.

Jerry is where our problems begin though. He's stuck in his ways of the past and unwilling to change.

I worry that Gettleman was just hired as a yes man. JR already forced Rivera on him. Who's really in charge? Not Gettleman.
