Question for you 50 years plus folk (and others)?

Sure. I've only got 20-25 good years left anyways and I've gone 26(?) years without one. I just want us to get at least one ring before I or my brain checks out. 

That said...I don't think Tepper will be that guy and I don't think that Tepper will be the owner at that point either. He's no spring chicken.

The "brain checks out" thing is real for some. I think about how I'm only six to seven years out from the age that my late father's early onset dimentia resulting from Alzheimer's became obvious. By 61, he couldn't even appreciate a football game anymore, and he was the main reason I developed a love for the game in the first place.

Yep. There's no guarantee that I've even got that long. I just want to see it at some point.

 50+ years has taught me that the one thing steeler fans, Green Bay fans, patriot fans and other Super Bowl winning franchises, especially Tampa, have in common is that their teams all sucked balls at one time. Sometimes for years or decades.  Those fans didn’t make plays or roster decisions.  They didn’t have a damn thing to do with either success or failure.  But they did the one thing they could, they stayed fans.  Watching our fans stay in the rain as we got clobbered at the end of our 1-15 season was “almost” as cool as marching to Jax stadium on opening day with the Roaring Riot and hundreds of other memories.  Winning is sweet, but making memories is sweeter. Keep Pounding.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
