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.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
