Prediction: Panthers Super Bowl in 3 Years?

Recommended Posts

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.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
