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.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Sorta related.  I just looked up a stat:  Success rates for NFL draft's second rounders.  I was surprised that it is 49%.  The success rate for first rounders is 58%.   Here success does not mean those that did not bust, it means that roughly half of the players selected in the second round become full-time starters at some point in their careers.  Busts do that too.  However, considering the fact that a first round talent is worth up to 1800 points (first overall pick) more than the first pick of the second round and as low as 350 points (last pick in first round) higher than the last pick in round 2, it seems there could be cases in which it would be to your advantage to trade out of round 1 and draft two or three second rounders for the value.  Of course, the elite players are likely to be gone, and some positions overwhelmingly suck after round 1 (traditionally, like QB or LT, for example), but if you need to find starters at positions like DT, G, LB, S, C, TE, RB, etc, there could be a time when you trade back for more starters.  I was surprised that the margin between rounds 1 and 2 was only 9%.    While I realize that some of you sofa scholars are thinking, "Well duh?  Trading back gives you more players." as you wipe the Cheetos off your shirt.  Not the point.  The point is you have to consider the draft,the needs (and the number of them), and you need to scout the second and third rounds like you do the first, the cap, and the long-term impact.  If you can find 2 players with a 49% chance of becoming a starter, are you better off than drafting one player who has a 58% chance in the long term? So if I traded away my first rounder for two second rounders (a trade most teams would make) regularly, when I got 10 second rounders (by trading 5 first rounders), 5 would be starters.  If I did not trade and kept my 5 first rounders, 3 would be starters.  Furthermore, their rookie contracts would be much cheaper than the 5 first rounders.
