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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
