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.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
