Are we in a Window situation?

[Shocker]

Cam is supposedly in his prime.  Luke as well.  DTs are good.  Ok, LOTS of old talent at big positions so I gotta ask.  Is this team in a 2-3 year window to make a big push?  Can we turn this around that fast knowing that we could've beaten the Saints?   Watching the Jags game and all their young talent I was like damn, can we beat a team like that right now?  Also, I keep wondering...how many running QBs with low completion pct have won the Super Bowl?  Steve Young?  The guy that was amazingly accurate.  I believe in Cam but how much longer?  Do we build around Cam or go ALL out on defense where we have a strength?

I have no doubt the Panthers can contend but I want that Super Bowl.  Can we get there without blowing this up?

windows aren't a thing. Just something for sports jockeys to talk about

[Camp Fodder]

The worst part is not the old players but the fact that we haven’t drafted well the last 4 years. The next 2 drafts are crucial

Windows are def a thing... and your fuging crazy if you think they are not.

Yes and it’s called the Cam Newton era

[arbnranger]

So we have an operating system that constantly wants you to upgrade and acknowledge it’s existence?

[Shocker]

I am going to say this knowing I'll get hurt...is resigning Olsen, Thomas or any older players a good move?  Stewart, Kalil, Captain,  Adams, Fozzy...damn.   Lots of older guys on the decline.

Could wind up like the Brett Favre era... Or the Drew Bledsoe era...

yes...exactly that time frame.  And a window is a thing.

I think Aints this year prove a team's "window" is never closed.

Olsen -100% Totally worth it. 

TD- will probably be worth it after you see his effort knowing it’s his last year. I think he finds that step he lost this year for his finale. 

Kalil- Tough one , obviously stay if he’s healthy . Will probably be on his terms. 

The rest I agree with if we find a replacement that is equal or lower priced. 

Going to be some tough decisions .

Do you think Brees and Cam are equal QBs? 

[Shocker]

Look at the NFC championship QBs.  Doable, but damn both teams have AMAZING defenses.

Both teams are very well rounded.

The Jags have a SICK defense and still needed 45 points to win.

The Vikes couldn’t get a stop when they needed one and it was their offense that won the game. 

You need offense too
