I cannot freaking believe we still won't have back-to-back winning seasons

Of all the teams I'm a fan of, this is probably the most maddening stat I've ever seen.

1995: 7-9

1996: 12-4

1997: 7-9

1998: 4-12

1999: 8-8

2000: 7-9

2001: 1-15

2002: 7-9

2003: 11-5

2004: 7-9

2005: 11-5

2006: 8-8

2007: 7-9

2008: 12-4

2009: 7-9

2010: 2-14

2011: 6-10

2012: 7-9

2013: 12-4

2014: 7-8-1

2015: 15-1

2016: 4-12, 5-11, 6-10, 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 (and there's no chance we're winning our last 5 games with no Kuechly, Kalil, etc.)

 

This is down-in-the-muck levels of depressing. Even if we have a winning season next year, we're gonna have to keep hearing these "never had back-to-back winning seasons though!" things until 2018 AT BEST. That would be the end of Season 24. I'm sorry, but this is just inexcusable. How is this possible?

Michael Jordan is about to show Jerry Richardson how to do it in 7yrs of owning the Hornets, while the original Hornets had many back to backs before leaving.

This is what you get with JR, and when it seems like he's not trying.....he's not trying. Refusing to make obvious moves and spend what it takes. Not trying. Happy

If we somehow beat Seattle we probably finish at 9-7. Playoffs likely out of the question but it's not crazy to think we win out if we beat Seattle. If we lose Sunday night then yes it's guaranteed we won't have back to back winning seasons until 2018 at the earliest.

Believe it friend. The owner is fine with mediocracy. 

Anybody who knows the owner would tell you that's ridiculous.

Wanting to win has never been the issue with Jerry Richardson.

Knowing how to accomplish it is where the problem lies.

But Richardson deserves credit in that he finally came to realize the way he was running things wasn't working, so he left it up to Ernie Accorsi to pick who the new GM should be. He's since also stood back and let Gettleman make decisions nobody expected him to be on board with (like cutting Steve Smith).

Winning consistently in the NFL is not as simple as wanting to or spending enough money. Plenty of teams have done both and still come up short. Heck, we had nearly everything go right last year and still couldn't seal the deal.

It's just that difficult.

And given this, it's a mistake to assume lack of success equals lack of desire.

It's a witch hunt and an Internet witch hunt at that. It's the easiest kind to perform . You just hit buttons and don't have to do anything or risk anything.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I had everything saved on an old email address and my computer crashed and could not be revived.  I tried reviving it, then stumbled on one I was going to create several years ago...So I am using it instead.  My fault--did not keep the email and forgot password--

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.is what i am actually referring to in that particular post  all those #'s you are referring to are athletic #'s & Monroe Freeling had or has an impressive combination of size & raw athletiscm & it has nothing do with his size or athelticsm that is preventing him from being a day 1 starter in the NFL technique is where he struggled at the NFL combine & not only scouts but analysts alike also viewed him as more of a developmental type of player rather than a day 1 starter  go take a look at Will Campbell transition from the SEC to the NFL another first round LT that was drafted #4 overall by the New England Patriot,s.Will Campbell was a three year starter at  LSU & was thought to be one of if not the very best LT's in the SEC  & compare his SEC carrer to his rookie season in the NFL? just because you played good in the SEC at LT does nescarrily mean you are ready to start at LT in the NFL day 1 & or your rookie season  & one last thing i think you are jumping to conclusion & somehow assuming that i do not like Monroe Freeling ?which could not be further from the truth .what i do not like is the idea starting a player who is not ready ...just saying

      I'd 10x rather play the NFC North than NFC West.
