The Cardinals are a truly miserable franchise.

There might not be a more miserable NFL franchise with a worst history of awfulness than the Cardinals. Established in 1920, the Cardinals didn't make a playoff appearance until 1947, when they were still the Chicago Cardinals. This doesn't take into account their contested championship in 1925, in which they lost a game to the Pottsville Maroons but they were disqualified for playing an unauthorized exhibition game!

The Cardinals have 10 total playoff appearances in 100 years. TEN! The Panthers by contrast have 8 playoff appearances in 25 years. 

The Cardinals have 1 Superbowl appearance in 55 years. The Panthers have 2 Superbowl appearances in 25 years.

The longest playoff drought they have endured was 27 years from 1948 to 1975. They went 16 years between playoff appearances from 1982 to 1998. And another 10 year drought between 1998 and 2008 (their lone Superbowl appearance)

The Panthers longest playoff drought was 7 years between 1996 to 2003. 

The Cardinals have not beaten the Panthers since 2013, a 22-6 win for the Cardinals, that spurred an 8 game winning streak for the Panthers. 

Overall, the Panthers are 12-5 against the Cardinals including 3 playoff games, in which the Panthers are 2-1 against the Cardinals in the playoffs.

We get down on the Panthers performance over their first 25 years of existence, but man, the Cardinals are a truly miserable franchise. Maybe the most miserable to ever exist in sports history.

Given the state of our franchise the past few years, I'm not really in the mood to talk poo about another team. They look better setup for the present and near future and that's really all that matters. You can't change the past and ringless franchises can't really hang their hats on the past anyway.

All true statements.

The Lions are right up there with them.  They have won 1 playoff game from 1958 until now.  That's 62 years with 1 playoff win  And the winningest coach is Wayne Fontes.  Wayne fugging Fontes.  His career record is 66-67.

Maybe by total wins it’s Wayne Fontes but Jim Caldwell had a 36-28 record in 4 seasons with the Lions. Man I never thought it would be a mistake to fire Jim Caldwell

Bidwill is the typical rich kid who was born in third base and believes his entire life he hit a triple. Wants players to “stick to sports” unless they go on conservative radio to support his friend Brett Kavanaugh like he did. 
 

NC State Alumni Steve Keim and current GM has more DWIs than he does playoff wins.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
