How patient will the fans be?

[Jmac]

Ron is gone. Wish him the best and he will be a HC again very soon in this league. Class guy and a good man.

How patient will this fan base be now that he is gone? Could you handle losing seasons for 2 years....3 years....5 years (or more) as the rebuild starts?

It may not be pretty for quite some time. Change is inevitable...we will see what lies ahead. You all ready for the unknown...wat u got?

If Newton is retained and can perform, might be a lot quicker than you think

fix the lines 

good coaching 

those three things are not hard to achieve 

if Newton doesn’t return, all bets off there

I want to see competitive football immediately. Not trying to look like the Bucs and Lions out here and be meh with no sense of potential. 

We have the players to at least not look stupid and that's all I ask next year. 

Dont make us look stupid for believing in the team these last few years especially. 

[BrianS]

Our fans are super fickle, always have been.  If we have a good team, our stadium is packed.  If our team is bad, you get what we had last Sunday.  Welcome to the world of PSL's.

I will try and hold my absolute hatred for Hurney until after the draft, and that will take a lot of work. The new HC should get constructive criticism along with a lot patients. The Josh McD is a scary  scenario and I wouldn't think a guy like that is going to get 3 or 4 years before complete riots.

Let this sink in, when the new guy messes up there is an actual chance he will learn from it and may improve...that is something that is hard to truly comprehend after years of same old same old.

If you think the success of this team rests solely on the return of Cam Newton, you're in for a shock.

That being said, those who have been calling for Rivera's head for three years should be ready to wait for change to be effected. You can fire the coach today, but his staff remains. You can fire Hurney tomorrow, but the players he hired remain.

Consistency isn't overnight- this is gonna take a couple years.

[BurnHurnBurn]

All rides on Hurney being fired/retained. That, in turn, will decide the fate of my collection of antique torches and pitchforks.  

Either way Hurn's gettin burned.

[332nd]

Meh. You've seen this place on game day.

There'll be calls for a complete rebuild the fist time we go into the half down by 3.

It'll be ok for the most part though.

[joeyxfresco]

We’re not rebuilding quite yet. 

[WarPanthers89]

With the way the NFL is set up, it should never take 5 years to rebound with the way the salary cap is set up, as well as draft positions. With that being said...2 years if you gut the bad contracts and vets. Third year should be a team who can compete in the playoffs.

[MVPccaffrey]

My guess is the same fans calling loudest for Ron's head, will be the first fans calling for the head of the next coach, probably starting year 1 too.

[thefuzz]

A rebuilding phase should take no more than 3 years, if you have a competent GM, and not an anchor of a crap salary cap situation weighing you down.

We are in pretty good shape on the cap, bad shape on the roster, and awful shape at GM currently.

2 of those can change fairly quickly though....1 will take some time.

Hi.

Welcome to the internet.

Patience here is not measured in years, but nanoseconds.

To determine a given poster's patience level, take their average attention span in reading posts and divide by...

#$%^ I'm losing you aren't I?

tl:dr version What is this patience thing of which you speak?

[XOBlackxJokerOX]

We really shouldn't be in a rebuild of any sort. It's not like the team is void of talent and if a team like the Saints can keep finding wiggle room, why can't we?
