A series of interesting thoughts crossed my mind this past week.  You guys know, only one team at the end of every year can hoist the trophy as champions.  As fans of our team, and fans across the league, we cheer and hope our team will be the one in the limelight.  Now mathematically speaking, everyone has a greater chance of not winning the big game, no matter how good your team is.  Nonetheless, winning it is the ultimate goal.  All that said, as a Panther fan, do you really prioritize winning the Superbowl above all else?  If only given two options for how your team performs for the next 10 years or so, would you rather see the Panthers win next year's championship and then having losing records for the next nine years, or would you rather see the Panthers have 10 seasons of 14-2 records (even a couple of perfect seasons) but fail to win the Superbowl in that span?  Keep in mind with the second choice we could even reach the Superbowl and have close games, but not win it.

This is just something I want your guys' opinions on.  To get in your head about how you view your Panther fandom.  As a treat, I came across highlights of a game I treasure back in our 2004 season. (A very interesting season for me as a fan)

Given the choices, you have to go with the one Super Bowl win. The second scenario would be like the Atlanta Braves of the 90s, but without the one title win mixed in. Or like the Buffalo Bills making and losing 4 Super Bowls in a row. I can't imagine 10 years in a row of watching playoff games and every single year it ending in disarray, especially after being that dominant in the regular season. Hell, I can feel my blood boiling right now thinking about how much it stung to watch us lose the 2015 Super Bowl when the other quarterback couldn't throw the ball more than 5 yards down the field. To experience that, but for 9 straight years. Screw that.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
