When do you think we'll see the Panthers in the Super Bowl again?

In the grand scheme of things the Panthers are actually well ahead of pace as it goes to appearing in Super Bowls...

The Panthers have appeared in 2 Super Bowls and in most cases, despite many many decades of extra tenure, only 18 teams have appeared in 3 or more.

No team with fewer years in the NFL has appeared in more Super Bowls than the Panthers...

...conversely -- 3 teams with longer tenure have been to the same # (2) of Super Bowls (Buccaneers/1976, Bears/1920, Falcons/1966)...

...4 teams with a LOT longer tenure have only 1 Super Bowl (Cardinals/1920, Saints/1967, Jets/1960, Chargers/1960)...

...and 2 teams with MUCH longer-tenure have never been to a Super Bowl (Lions/1930 and Browns/1950). 

Be careful what you whine about...

If you're going to say the Browns haven't been since 1950, then you have to treat the Ravens as an expansion team starting right around the time we did.

It’s an impossible question for any fan base to answer. There is so much that has to go right for a team to get to a super bowl. 
 

I can say with confidence that we aren’t going until we find a top ten qb. Whether that he by trade or draft, we need to find that piece first and foremost.

Yea but those Super Bowl appearances were under the previous owner. The new owner hired a guy who didn’t beat a ranked team as a college coach to a top 10 salaried contract.

The first AFL-NFL Championship (retroactively called Super Bowl I) wasn't until 1967, so it would be disingenuous to go back further than that year, without including the championship winners prior that time. 

If we did, we'd soon discover teams like the Browns, Lions and Bears were often among the best teams (league champions) in the NFL/AAFC.

TL/DR:  History Matters

This.  We can talk about probabilities based on past performance but the reality is we have a Head Coach that is in over his head and has made horrible choices for the last two years.

Until Matt Rhule is gone this team is going nowhere fast.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
