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.

      Clark played 2 seasons in college and had a grand total of 1,340 yards with 6 TDs. T-Mac had 1,402 and 10 as a Sophomore and 1,319 and 8 as a Junior in one less game since they didn't make a bowl (not to mention his 702 and 8 as a Freshman). Chark's only 1,000 yard NFL season (which was only 1,008 yards to begin with, and only 3 games over 79 yards that year) came in an offense where the only other non RB's in the offense to have more than 35 targets were Chris Conely (90 targets for 775 yards) and Dede Westbrook (101 targets for 660 yards).  His 2nd best season, his competition for targets was Keelan Cole Sr (88 targets for 642 yards), Laviska (79 targets for 600) and Conley again (63 targets for 471). Beyond his 1k season, he had seasons of 706, 525, 502, 174, 154, and 31 yards, despite being the #1 WR on his team for 3 of his 4 seasons that he had over 174 yards. Any 1st round WR should already be considered a better WR than that, let alone one taken in the Top 10 and has the college statistics that T-Mac had.  Had we traded back and taken Egbuka or Golden, I'd still be saying the same thing about them vs Chark, this has nothing to do with my personal love of T-Mac.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      I'm not sure his idea of us being 28th at the start of the season isn't wrong. It's hard to project who we are based off the fact all the rookies we are depending on to contribute but know nothing about. we don't know what derrick brown looks like week 1.. hunter renfrow t-mac,legette, and our tight ends. we are going to have two new starting safeties no matter what. I think it's hard to know just which way the dial can swing on this roster.

      That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football?
