Say this Bryce thing doesn't work out... how far back is the Franchise set?

[TheBigKat]

Last playoff appearance was in 2017 so we are in year 6 of a drought

 

Let's say hypothetically this gamble doesn't pay off, you have to give Bryce what, 3 seasons? And after that is it a reboot once again?

That would make what, a decade before meaningful Panthers football?

Now I can see why the Browns gave up the farm to get Watson or the Bengals did everything they could to resign Burrow

Lawd have mercy lol

Would still root for a losing team before I’d ever root for Watson and still glad we didn’t land him.

 

Realistically if Bryce busts we’re probably looking at another 3-5 years before we have a chance to compete again but I have faith in Bryce.  Way, way, way too early to be worried about him.

If this doesn't work out people will accept it. The expectations will always be low as long as Tepper are making these decisions.

 

Im more concerned about the head coach to be honest. Frank doesn't even look like much of improvement over Rhule to be honest.

If the team already is terrible, it doesn't set them back at all! I mean the Browns have had 4 winning seasons since 1990. We have still have a ways to go to catch up.

Hopefully far enough to get Tepper to sell because at that point I will be convinced that he's turned us into the new version of the Browns and we'll be bottom dwellers for as long as he's the one ultimately calling the shots.

Bryce will be known by the end of the year for good or bad because he isn't a project QB.

If it's bad, just fire the staff/GM and start over. If a QB Guru HC can't pick a good QB then you also need a new coaching staff and no they shouldn't get another swing if that is how it plays out. Honestly I think the fans turn on them again if Bryce isn't it well before the end of the season. It's been ugly here for years and fair was never part of any of this.

We resign Cam and draft BPA.

Scorching hot take.
