Going back and forth with @Mr. Scot, has made me think of a question.

If Tepper was to become a meddlesome owner in the mold of a Jerry Jones, but win a championship within say the next five years, and that would be the only ring that the Panthers would get for the next two or three decades, would you take that? Keep in mind, you're assured one championship within the next 5 years.

IIt's just a hypothetical. Personally, I don't think Tepper will ever become that guy. I do think he may swing that hammer from time (which makes me think of the Japanese proverb: The nail that sticks out gets the hammer). I say that only to say that Tepper and Fit better normalize the Panthers among the top tier teams in the league within the next few years.

I want to see one. If it just means I get to see the one, so be it. I still remember the Hurricanes Stanley Cup winning season in 2006. It was worth the decade of no playoffs that happened a few years later. 

I remember when I was still trying to hold on to the team of my youth, the Steelers. Even though I proudly wore the gear the day they won the championship (Cowher's team) when I was an adult, I had effectively became a Panthers fan in my heart, so that Steelers victory though sweet, was kind of hollow. As such, the life I've lived won't be complete without the Panthers winning it all at least once.

I plan on haunting the stadium and yelling angrily at each new owner/GM/head coach if I die before it happens.

Yes I would. 

I have never questioned the Hurricanes again since winning the Stanley Cup.

Everything else is gravy.

 

Now I'd like more than one but get me one before I die.

Ten years ago the Panthers winning meant a lot more to me than it does now.  I used to never turn off a game in progress and if I had to be away from the box I made dumb sure I had a good  radio signal. 

losing a game left me miserable for the rest of the day.  Now I take it as it comes and am not afraid to turn off the tube and go do something else if they are putting up another stinker.  So to answer the question while a Lombardi trophy would be nice to see, it  sure as poo ain t part of my bucket list.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      I believe in bryce...

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
