How does our franchise get "established"

Yesterday someone posted a thread about how we're looked down upon by the rest of the NFL, and how the Media could not care less about us, and this has been the case for a while now. Look around the league, and we're probably just a hair ahead of the Jags when it comes to being an established NFL franchise. My question is, how does an NFL team get established? How did the Cowboys and Steelers and Pats get to where they're are right now? Obviously winning can't be enough, because we're won our fair share of game, and the Cowboys have won one playoff game since I've been born..or something like that. What can we, as fans do to become an established NFL franchise?

Time.

There are generations of fans of older teams that were born and raised as fans of those teams. The first fans born while the Panthers were in Charlotte are just now getting old enough to really make noise and most can't even do so without their parents being around yet. The majority of Panthers fans had another team before the Panthers even existed.

As there are fans born into it and the fanbase gets more entrenched the team will start to matter more than it does now.

I don't buy that market size is the most important thing in the world - but it does make the process slower.

Basically I guess the more history and age we have on the team the more it is likely to "matter".

Um...we haven't won our fair share of jack poo. Four winning seasons in 16 years GETS LOOKED DOWN UPON. The Steelers, Cowboys, and Pats have rings and big name players. If we can get a big name QB here, and win...we'll get more respect than we've ever had. We will never be like Dallas, however, until we can obtain multiple rings...or hell, at least have a back to back winning season lol.

I think mediocrity has made the national media not like us. When the media picks us to do something great during a season, we end up having a bad year. Happens every time. Plus we keep beating their darling Cowboys in the playoffs. I also think Jake Delhomme had been a joke to the national media for a long time. All we gotta do is keep winning consistantly year after year and also a Super Bowl victory.

      Jim Caldwell out

      I may be way off base, let’s include this in that questions thread, but with the way the offensive staff turned on each other in 2023 I am happy to see anyone involved, gone. I had a bad feeling about Caldwell over it.

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis
