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

Raise your hand if you want to be the Lions or the teams mr.scor just mentioned?

4 NFC champ games and 2 Super Bowls in that same span

I will take this stretch for the next 20

Never won it. We've grown up as fans. It's a culture of winning that the 20+ year fans want. We want it! Taking one step forward and two steps back every year isn't a plan, it's huckstering. The better $ is on Hornets season tickets 

The record speaks for itself.

Going to the Super Bowl is not enough. It's like showing up to the hottest party but not going in. Happy we've gone twice butvwe don't have much to show for it. 

It's far from ideal, but it's more than several other teams have at this point.

Heck, even though it ended badly, I'll remember last year's 15-1 run fondly for the rest of my life.

Yeah, this season sucks, but it's silly to act like nothing good has ever happened here.

I agree with. I'll look back 10 years from now and remember every game last season. But it is frustrating when you know we can do it but we can't, if that makes sense. I'm ready for us to get over that hump. We went to the big dance, but let's take home the goodie bag too.

Which is why you fix what's keeping you from getting there.

In my opinion, that's coaching.

If the Hornets have back to back winning seasons this year, does that make MJ the first franchise major league owner in Charlotte to do it in twenty years? MJ may then be better than JR ever was at delivering back to back winning seasons? 

Are any of you just OK with that? Why shouldn't we expect the same? As fans we see they can do it? Why always the two steps back?

By far the biggest obstacle from us having a winning (though not sb contending) season is injuries. I honestly can't see how that isn't blatantly obvious. That's off your only concern is back to back which is the topic of the thread. Throw in a dismantled  secondary that cost us ato least 3 games. Coaching is a distant 3rd to either in magnitude.

Injuries aren't controllable (unless you think it's the strength and conditioning coach's failure).

Coaching mistakes are.

I'll give you that injuries are the single biggest obstacle this season, but the coaching mistakes I'm talking about aren't limited to this season. They're an ongoing issue.

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.

We won't.  But dreams are what makes life tolerable.  So keep having them, good sir.

I'm sick of it and I fuging hate it. We were in the damn Super Bowl in February. I just can not believe this team, the coaches, the front office all decided to get full of themselves and fug the fans over this year. I really am just tired of the same poo happening over and over again.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
