5-6 years bank on it

you have to limit the records we’d have to break to make it there by examining teams who made it in the last decade

for instance being the team with the most dead money in the last decade to make it, first team without a top oline to make it in the last decade, one of first college coaches to go in the first few years I’m NFL history so on and so on

going within 3 years will just break too many records/trends, and all at once...it just doesn’t happen like that, it almost CANT

5-6 years there’ll be no reasons why it can’t given Rhule works out

Brady to Tampa really takes the wind out of our win now initiative. Bridgewater's a great fit here and I believe there's a high chance that both wildcards come out of our division, but now dude's gotta really ball out of control just get us to the playoffs against Brees and Brady and that's asking a lot in 3 years. It would have been a lot to ask of Cam and at least we've seen that his ceiling is even capable of going that high. I have high expectations of Teddy but not that high

I have to see Brady sans Belicheat before I believe he can have any impact in Tampa.

Jameis beat us last year with an incredible average statline and probably would have twice if he hadn't thrown like half a dozen interceptions in the second game.

Can this happen?  Wife says no, but we have been Sunday night drinking. I say yes. 
 

edit: We may not not win, but we will be there. Next Year definitely. 

What substantial evidence is there to support the notion we'll definately be in the Super Bowl next year?

Is it possible? Sure.

With a coaching staff largely completely new to the NFL, no franchise qb, and an extremely young and inexperienced roster with scant depth?

Unlikely.

I think it's flip a coin whether Brady in Tampa means the Bucs are suddenly winners. Do they have a talented roster for him to leverage? Certainly. But the man is still 42 years old and father time finally looked like it was starting to catch up to him last season. Now he's got to learn an entirely new offense, something he's literally never had to do in his career before, in the middle of an unprecedented offseason disrupted by the pandemic.

He could be magic in a bottle for them, but I don't think it's as much a given as everyone seems to think it is, and I definately think Brady's move is largely irrelevant as a factor that the Panthers will have to deal with in 2 years. He'll be 44 years old and I for one am curious to see if the refs will give him quite the same deference they gave him in NE. Either way the TB oline won't give him nearly the protection being able to hold with impunity afforded the NE line.

we don't have a QB bc our stupid owner and "coach" decided cam wasn't good enough

the fact that only one other team was willing to pay him the vet minimum for his experience means they were not alone in deciding he wasn't worth paying starting qb money to. Also Cam did have a contract for this coming year, he could have chosen to play. I think cutting him was more about the situation and being unwilling to pay a player franchise qb money when that player hasn't proven he can stay healthy and said player being unwilling to play out a final year with no guarantees beyond that. There is no stupidity on either side, just both sides making decisions in their best interests that result in Cam leaving, which frankly sucks if you're fan, but it's a business and that's the way it goes.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
