Question for you 50 years plus folk (and others)?

Yea I would take that deal. 

A better and more relevant question in my opinion is would be to offer a comparison.

Would you rather win it all and suck or come close every year but never win one?

Because compared to the last 26 years I’d take the deal.

But if those last 26 years, say 15-20 of them we’d always be close and in the mix vs. winning one then being the Browns every year…that’s a harder choice imo.

Yeah, I mean whatever makes you sleep better at night. 

It's not a matter of rationalizing. It's just open mindedness.

I genuinely don't know whether Tepper is going to be a successful owner or not, but that leaves all options open.

Saying you know we're going to be terrible is just as invalid as saying you know we'll be champions.

I've never liked the idea of living off a single season's glory while sucking from then on.

If I had that mentality, I might as well be a Jets fan.

(or a Bears fan)

We weren't that many years removed from wearing diapers when Broadway Joe won. People are still mentioning the '85 Bears to this day. It's one thing to see things from a young man's point of view, but I bet that those who were 50+ then, most of them no longer here, were pleased as punch to see their team as the champs!

And I'd be pleased to see the Panthers win one.

But by the time we were in year ten of being dog sh-t, saying "well hey, we were good once" isn't gonna make all the bad feelings from that go away.

Nope, I'd rather have a competitive team on the regular than a one-hit wonder.  You can only bask in the glory one moment in time for so long.  That would like saying, the Panthers always suck, but at least we have '03 and '15! 

Pretty much.

And as good as those memories are, they don't make me feel any better when I'm in the middle of watching a game where we look like garbage.

I'd bet the Jets would gladly have their lone Super Bowl revoked if it meant getting monkey off their back.
