...Fitter is simply an information gatherer.

The Appaloosa Model produce the desired results -- be patient folks!

Like we have a choice.

One title would do me just fine. Whenever my other teams have won a title it helps me not care as much it helps me put things in perspective.  I'm still a fan of those teams but I'm no longer consumed by the team which is better for my spiritual and mental health.

Hell yes, need to see a ‘ship before I die. I’ve seen enough mediocrity to literally last a lifetime.

Sure. I've only got 20-25 good years left anyways and I've gone 26(?) years without one. I just want us to get at least one ring before I or my brain checks out. 

That said...I don't think Tepper will be that guy and I don't think that Tepper will be the owner at that point either. He's no spring chicken.

The "brain checks out" thing is real for some. I think about how I'm only six to seven years out from the age that my late father's early onset dimentia resulting from Alzheimer's became obvious. By 61, he couldn't even appreciate a football game anymore, and he was the main reason I developed a love for the game in the first place.

There's not a team in the NFL that didn't suck at some point.

[pantherclaw]

I won a championship with Teddy Bridgewater throwing to Ian Thomas. 

Not sure what that has to do with anything,  just wanted to share.

I’m a Cubs fan…..speaks for itself

Yep. There's no guarantee that I've even got that long. I just want to see it at some point.

Fitterer is a bag toter for Tepper & Rhule...

...that's a fact.

 50+ years has taught me that the one thing steeler fans, Green Bay fans, patriot fans and other Super Bowl winning franchises, especially Tampa, have in common is that their teams all sucked balls at one time. Sometimes for years or decades.  Those fans didn’t make plays or roster decisions.  They didn’t have a damn thing to do with either success or failure.  But they did the one thing they could, they stayed fans.  Watching our fans stay in the rain as we got clobbered at the end of our 1-15 season was “almost” as cool as marching to Jax stadium on opening day with the Roaring Riot and hundreds of other memories.  Winning is sweet, but making memories is sweeter. Keep Pounding.

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.

They aren't good memories. We fuging lost.

If Panthers get one SB and ring I will be content just knowing we finally did it and captured that elusive Lombardi Trophy that has slipped away from us twice already.
