We will be the team of the decade...

Feel good thread here (cue the "baaahumbugs").

And I'm sure there have been similar threads, but I hope everyone really takes a moment to think about where this team is and what they realistically can accomplish.

We have three hall of fame foundations in the most important places (QB, MLB, Head Coach).

Cam has shown that he is literally an MVP talent.

Luke, with much respect toward Watt, is actually the best defensive player in the league.

We have a coach that was given time to develop his style and culture, and the players love giving their best for him.

We have a GM that is best in class in talent evaluation (Mayo's development is yet another example of this) and is setting us up for long term success.

Now there is nothing new or groundbreaking here. The majority of us know the above to be true. But in light of the poor showing on Friday, I felt like this needed to be said again and focused on.

I'm proud to be a Panthers fan no matter the outcomes, but ten years from now, this will be the team everyone discusses when the word "dynasty" is thrown around. The team that took the torch from New England as the class of the league.

Don't order the crowns yet!

Really, the decade???? 

Right now we're sitting in the same position as the Cincinatti Bengals in the late 80s. And either you know how that turned out or they were so insignificant to the overall of football that it doesn't even make a blip on the radar. 

Looking at how we've played in the pre-season, we look like we've still got the hangover from last year's raging kegger of a season. If we don't get it together soon, all we'll have is some photos of the frat boys celebrating and acting like asses. Go back and win a dozen or more games again this year or just drop back into the dustbin of history.

Really, if not, then seven or eight years from now Cam will be doing the Boomer Esiason thing on TV and we'll be talking about what we could have been.

Look, last year's ride was one of the greatest runs in NFL history and so much fun for us long-waiting fans. When we got to big stage, though, we laid an egg. Flat out just embarrassed ourselves before, during and after the game. 

The list of teams that might be able to claim the decade includes Denver, Seattle, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New Orleans and the Giants, plus the Patriots are heavy favorites to lay claim to this decade and the prior one. 

If we want to knock some folks off that list ahead of us, we're going to have a mighty fine chance to start against Denver in a week and a half. From the looks of it, though, we've got our work cut out for us.

There's a chance.   But there's a lot of moving parts to make that all happen. 

 

 I'd say carolina has about a 10% chance to be the team of the decade.    so... this decade would have to happen ten times for carolina to be the team of the decade once..   (for those not familiar with percentages).

 

Out of all the teams in the league, I'd say the patriots have the biggest chance to finish this decade being recognized as the dynasty..   and even then their odds to me are around 15%.

 

Lots of moving parts year to year.
