    It would be awesome if you'd at least act like you've never been part of a million dollar deal.

    Seriously, I work for a piss ant company and the owner signs every biweekly cheque i get.

    I think the owner of a multi million dollar company would have some idea he was writing a check for a 70 mill DE, 50 mill RB, 50 mill C and whatever else we did that year.

    You are so naive sometimes I wonder why I bother with you. Everything is so black and white with you, no grey area. You act like everything was Hurneys fault, like he never discussed these things with other people, nevermind JR, Fox or Rivera.

    Nobody is trying to suggest JR is writing up these contracts. But he is OK,ing them.

    Ugh. It's fine that you don't know that much about football. Who mentions in a eulogy that someone knew a lot about the NFL? It's not at all important in the grand scheme of things. The problem is that when someone corrects something you say, you argue as if you did possess that knowledge. Learn your limitations and embrace them.

    lol. Your posts make it clear that you have absolutely no clue whatsoever what a general manager does and yet I'm somehow the naive one? Do you notice that no one ever asks your opinion on anything? I keep having this same argument across many boards on many subjects because people like you have somehow never developed sufficient self-awareness to not argue out of ignorance. Do you see me arguing with people over cars? Music? Finance? Hockey? I'm aware of what I know and what I don't. You argue as if you know about football when your posts continuously show that you don't. And again, it's 100% fine that you post your opinions on the Panthers even without being knowledgeable. In fact, I encourage it. But when someone like me corrects something unquestionably wrong that you say, learn to accept it instead of getting defensive and arguing out of ignorance. When I say something stupid about cars and someone else corrects me, it annoys me but I accept it because the truth is that I don't know much at all on that subject.

    But that is what you said. "Its amazing how an owner so deeply involved in the CBA can have totally misjudged the market for players only 2 years later." Why would an NFL owner be judging the market for players at all? They're not the ones coming up with dollar amounts or even ballpark figures aside from telling the GM an overall amount they can afford to spend during an off-season. Owners don't decide that Player X should get $8 million per season or only half that. The GM does. Owners are almost never present for any negotiations or even the contract signing. The GM and his staff handle all that. Richardson's sin is in hiring incompetence and not removing them once their actions prove incompetent. Why some people like you insist on saying that he was responsible for those contracts is beyond me. He wasn't. When Polian didn't want to pay Kevin Greene, Richardson let him. When Seifert wanted to sign a bunch of free agents from other teams, Richardson let him. When Hurney wanted to ignore free agents and spend every dollar on players he drafted, Richardson let him. You need to learn what a general manager's role is because right now you clearly have no clue.

    I'm sure Jerry Richardson was well aware of who was getting what kind of money, but the good owners let their football people (GM, HC, etc) make those decisions and stay out of the way. Unless you want Dan Snyder running the Panthers, in which case, fuck you.

    What's hilarious is that you actually believe half the shit you write about yourself. Like you're some kind of football massiah. But what you dont realise is that people poke you to see what batshit crazy shit you have to say next. Its entertaining.

    The idea that Hurney never talked about his plans with JR (or vice versa) is laughable, that's why you are naive. Its not about whether JR wrote the contract or ran the numbers, quit being retarded.

    But you dont have to be a meddling owner to know where your money is going.

    You think Cam visited JR pre draft just to say Hi. Or do you think JR wanted to know the quality of man he was gonna take #1 overall.

    Massiah? lol, I like that. And yeah, I am extremely knowledgeable about football. I've proven that over many years, which is why people ask my opinion all the time not only on here but elsewhere. Meanwhile no one asks you about anything ever because you've never given anyone a reason to think that you know anything. In fact, your posts convince people that you don't know anything.

    Please stop posting before you make yourself look any more stupid. You're embarrassing yourself by trying to defend your idiotic comment about Richardson not accurately judging the player market instead of just letting it go. Most people here know the basics of what a general manager does. You clearly have no idea, which would be fine if you would simply shut up.

    The Jets, LOL, are apparently 'warming' to Geno Smith. Why the fuck not, I guess.
