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

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
