They've been to the playoffs more recently. I have no doubt they would win in a head-to-head. 

Well. At least we still have the Jets to poo on. Too bad "Just End The Season" doesn't fit for "Panthers."

They probably were on the path to being at least serviceable but that Watson decision really tanked them. They have an elite defense.

That's  the thing, there is always something dumb in their own way. It's the norm. They just overpay for talent. Other than that it's a pooshow.

Right, the larger point being that franchise dysfunction can last multiple decades if you aren't careful. 

Keep in mind, while everyone was laughing at the Browns and their QB search during those years, they kept stockpiling highly drafted and talented players. In the end, almost all of them were squandered. 

I just hope this isn't the beginning of that sort of era for us.

We haven’t made the playoffs or had a winning season  in almost a decade. I’m afraid we’re in that era.

Yeah, I had a feeling that was the case and time has proven me right. Not four years later, here we are substantially worse.

So is that our ceiling now? Tepper figures it out and makes the payoffs in a token appeance before it falls apart again every decade? 

Jets are coming up so we will see. Poop rolls downhill and at this point this team can't look down on anything IMO.

We aren't quite there yet. But you know it is on the way.

The breakdown I did on each franchises longest streak of losing seasons was a REAL eye opener for me. We are way closer to the bottom of the list(shortest spans) than the top. 

That's what I am afraid of, that we aren't even at the halfway point of this mess yet.

I would day our shitshow will end up being worse. Thanks Tepper.

It's sure looking that way. Who knows what BS he comes up with next. He seems to be a bottomless well of embarrassment.

It's just in progress still. I was thinking about the Bucs creamcicle days and that was still above 44% and is generally regarded as cursed. 

Again those are neighbors. I don't really think there is anyone below us at this point.

I think he will follow a predictable track. Hire a young and out of his element head coach again. Then hire the GM willing to take the job and accept that he inherits a HC he didn't hire.

You mean historically or at the moment?

During the og days, not throwbacks. I looked it up and remember they had a stacked team when they switched out of them. Basically the guys who were older that won a SB after Dungy left if I remember that correctly.

He will keep some poo from this build and build around it again. It's his MO. No idea who. TIillis maybe. IdK but it won't likely work again

    • From a fan perspective? Yeah. From the Canales/Morgan perspective? You gotta still be employed by then. I'm not sure Bryce/Dalton/Hooker gets that done. Tepper wants offense. If you bring in a vet who puts up yards and points but buries you with turnovers you've at least demonstrated that you can make your offense work with an NFL caliber QB. This current embarrassment of a poo show probably leads to another full on reset with the talent pool of people willing to come work for Tepper shrinking increasingly smaller. I mean, someone is always going to sign up for that payday but I think we're to the point that our wish lists have to start where everyone else's ends because anyone with other options is choosing the other option. That's why the thought of another reset just isn't very exciting to me.
    • Obviously too soon to tell on some of DM's draft picks. There's a lot to be excited about IMO with young guys (All draft picks this year outside of Etienne), and last year's is a mixed bag. 1 and 2 look like busts which he needs to own, but Chau, JT if he can stay healthy, and trading for Mike Jack were all good business in last year's draft. Trevin is the wildcard. Been hot garbage, but improvement. Doesn't help when the Huddle identified better players in a lot of the spots, though.  Free Agency I think has been decent. I think he's filled what holes he can while not being crazy. I think the defensive players we signed this offseason were again good business, but I'm also worried Evero may ruin them.  As for Canales, the locker room at least seems to believe and is still saying the right things. Patience is obviously running thin, and I don't love a lot of Canales, but until there's mutiny I just think he gets another year and likely another QB to prove it.  One part of me is on team blow it up again. But another part is stuck on just being patient and letting it play out. Unless we get a Tomlin/Vrabel proven coach, another GM and Coach combo just feels exhausting at this point. A good QB covers a lot of ills, but so does a good coach. Chicken or the egg, and frankly I don't have confidence in Tepper to hire another coach anyway. 
    • Yeah it permeates everything, everyone’s consciousness. Defense too. Maybe ST are somewhat immune but the players on those units participate in the other phases.  It is a motivation killer to know that you have probably lost before you ever step in the ring.
