How long could you handle...

Just for reference, the Cowboys, Bears and Packers have roughly a 57% winning margin in their franchise's history.  Those are the top 3 teams.  The NFL wants parity, period.   That's the reason I'm not a huge fan of college ball.  The deck is stacked.  You either have name programs that sucks up all the blue-chip recruits or a program struggling with all the leftovers.  Parity is not college ball.  With parlay cards the fools picks are the pro games, the easier money is on college ball.  Why?  Most match ups are easy...just getting the spread is the tough part.

They also all have rings and two have an extremely long history and Dallas a moderate one

How many rings do the Panthers have?

Lose, money dries up.

Win, fans flock.

Its not about how long we can stand it, but how long can he?

Luckily I don't live my life through the team, so keep on sucking. Won't bother me a bit ... and I'll continue to watch.

Interesting question but why dont we make meaningful thread titles anymore? Just put the full title as the title. It's interesting and you dont need to bait people to read it.

I’d be okay being bad through next year if that meant a top tier QB that stays healthy and can grow with CMC and DJ.

David Tepper recently admitted that it might take a period of losing in order to get the team where he wanted it to be.

The question: How long?

How long would you be able to put up with the growing pains that it might take to build a perennial contender?

At what point might you start to lose faith in Tepper's ownership? And if you did, what would that mean?  

 

Though it's one of those bucket list things that I can't control, I would say three years should be enough. With each passing year toward that inevitable dirt nap, I'm like "[WTF], Panthers?"

If after three years we're still consistently inconsistent, It really wouldn't mean too much---except continual hopefulness amid helplessness---because I'll support the team until I can't.

I don't think I would be on board for more than 2-3 straight seasons of being terrible. I understand the logic behind tearing it all down but if that puts us in a perpetual cycle of being a NFC South cellar dweller, I am fuging out.

I would check out the same way I did when George Shinn was ruining the real Hornets.

Well, so far it’s been 25+ years

Yeah Super Bowl seasons suck.  15-1 sucks

It wasn’t for the lack of trying that we were average.  We just need a GM and coach who are much better than the rest.

It means he's ok with perpetual losing so long as you lose in the SB once or twice in a quarter century.

In my particular case, the better question would be what would Tepper have to do to REGAIN my faith in his ownership.

Considering he lost 100% of that faith in the 2019 off-season and all.

Worth noting that system plays a role here.

How long a rebuild is likely to take could very well be affected by how compatible a new coach's system is with some of the guys we already have on the roster.

McCaffrey and Moore, for example, could both fit fairly well into a West Coast system (heck, some folks think McCaffrey would be virtually unstoppable in a WCO). You could make an argument that they'd fit equally well into an Erhardt-Perkins, i.e. the system favored by the Steelers and the Patriots.

(big question with either of those systems would be how well our blockers fit)

The other factor if you're looking at the roster is that we don't really have that many players under contract next year. Thus, whoever comes in might have a lot of freedom to bring in the kind of players that he wants.
