Why Winning Now Will Cost Us About 15 Years

For those of you thinking winning now is the right thing to do let me show you why you are wrong.

First my version of tanking would have been to not sign Davis, Teddy or traded for that OT.

I would have run with what we could keep from last years team and treated the entire season as a roster evaluation thus ensuring the first pick.

So we would coach hard and play hard and probably just come up short in games.

Now I've seen the stupid stink of losing argument on here. Jimmy Johnson took over a 3-13 team. Took Aikman. Went 1-15 in his first season got another number 1 and the rest is history.

Let's look at the Cowboys. They were dominant with Rodger. Dropped off with Danny. Weren't dominant again until they got Troy and since Troy retired they have been bad to ok. The key? Bad owner and no QB. (Romo was not a stud)

Dolphins

Great with Bobby G then after they lost him sucked until Marino and have been irrelevant since he retired. That's long down periods.

Steelers
Dominant with number one overall Terry B. Then they were off the Earth until Cower got there. But horse teeth and Kordell couldn't get it done ( both these guys are Teddy Bridgewater) then they got Ben and were winning championships again.

Packers

Dominant with Bart then drop off the planet until Farve. How long was that? Then they lucked into Rodgers.

Chargers

They had Fouts and were good
Then nothing until Rivers

Giants

Nothing after the 60s until they got Simms
Did ok but dropped with Hostettler
Became obscure until Eli

Bill's

Nothing till Kelly
Nothing since until Allen

I could go on and on with probably every team in the league.

QBs don't grow on trees and y'alls problem is that the Panthers have been rather fortunate in the QB department and success department.


You guys constantly say win now and get a QB later? So when is that going to happen?
10 years from now? 20? 30?

The fact is we had a chance to control our own destiny and do something few teams have ever done move from one great QB to another without years of average in between.

Trevor would have been our chance to build a multiyear dominance now.

You guys constantly throw out Rodgers and others taken outside the top 5. Well that depends on the other teams missing them.

I love Thomas Davis but we should have taken Rodgers. I love CMC but we should have taken Mahomes. We made mistakes both those years. Are you willing to hope other teams are stupid during our search for a QB?

If we start consistently making the playoffs with Teddy but never getting to the NFC championship where is our savior going to come from?

How long will we have to wait?

Winning now if we don't get at least Lance has probably cost at least 15 years of no ring.


Show me why I'm wrong.

evidently i was very wrong about no one reading it.

Tom Brady.....

Russell Wilson....

Aaron Rodgers.....

Patrick Mahomes...

all of these guys are Super Bowl winning QBs...none of them #1 overall picks. Half of these guys weren’t even in the first round.

Getting the first pick in the draft never guarantees success. Might as well win!

Again Rogers was the 2nd QB taken and we should have taken him in the top 10 over TD.

Mahomes was taken 10th and we should have taken him over CMC.

Russ was taken late because at the time teams were afraid of small QBs. Well now with him, Kyler, Patrick and Drew that misnomer is out of the window so we won't get that same opportunity. 

So tell me where is our guy going to come from?Where's our Russ. Our Aaron?

 

Look if Teddy proves me wrong I'll be ecstatic but I've seen nothing yet that wows me.

This really describes this thread and it doesn't wow anyone. It is more like boos from anyone who reads this mess.

Teddy was the 3rd QB taken in round-1 and should have been taken over Manziel and Bortles.

Can you imagine the ensuing uproar had the Panthers picked a QB in round-1 of 2017 NFL Draft!!!

He's the guy wearing #5.

I hope you're being honest, about being ecstatic that is.
