Going back and forth with @Mr. Scot, has made me think of a question.

If Tepper was to become a meddlesome owner in the mold of a Jerry Jones, but win a championship within say the next five years, and that would be the only ring that the Panthers would get for the next two or three decades, would you take that? Keep in mind, you're assured one championship within the next 5 years.

IIt's just a hypothetical. Personally, I don't think Tepper will ever become that guy. I do think he may swing that hammer from time (which makes me think of the Japanese proverb: The nail that sticks out gets the hammer). I say that only to say that Tepper and Fit better normalize the Panthers among the top tier teams in the league within the next few years.

I want to see one. If it just means I get to see the one, so be it. I still remember the Hurricanes Stanley Cup winning season in 2006. It was worth the decade of no playoffs that happened a few years later. 

I remember when I was still trying to hold on to the team of my youth, the Steelers. Even though I proudly wore the gear the day they won the championship (Cowher's team) when I was an adult, I had effectively became a Panthers fan in my heart, so that Steelers victory though sweet, was kind of hollow. As such, the life I've lived won't be complete without the Panthers winning it all at least once.

I plan on haunting the stadium and yelling angrily at each new owner/GM/head coach if I die before it happens.

Yes I would. 

I have never questioned the Hurricanes again since winning the Stanley Cup.

Everything else is gravy.

 

Now I'd like more than one but get me one before I die.

Ten years ago the Panthers winning meant a lot more to me than it does now.  I used to never turn off a game in progress and if I had to be away from the box I made dumb sure I had a good  radio signal. 

losing a game left me miserable for the rest of the day.  Now I take it as it comes and am not afraid to turn off the tube and go do something else if they are putting up another stinker.  So to answer the question while a Lombardi trophy would be nice to see, it  sure as poo ain t part of my bucket list.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
