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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
