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.

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
