How far out do you think this team is from being Super Bowl caliber ready

[TheBigKat]

I’d say 3-4 seasons at least

 

 this team will need to rebuild their o line

 find a franchise QB

 learn to move on from CMC

 

 THANKFULLY the team has very good young building blocks but realistically we’re no where near being an upper echelon team in the NFL for the foreseeable future

I wouldn't bet on it with the current owner. It looks like we're going to be the next team with an owner that can't keep his hands out of the cookie jar, and perennial losers for it.

Detroit, North Carolina....

An offensive line and a QB which are probably the most difficult things to aquire.

It is hard to believe how short sighted most of this board is. They think we are a player or two away from being a SB contender when nothing is more from the truth. We haven't had back to back top 8 picks because we are ready to contend. Actually we are in a rebuild mode and it will probably take two more years to get where we need to be. We need a LT, C, G, DT, DE, MLB, FS and considerable depth. Most here want a new QB, so I'll throw that in. We have close to 40 million in cap room for next year and a first rounder, but our trades have gutted out 2022 draft. We can do a lot to fix the OL with FA and the draft, but that isn't going to make us a serious contender. We are at least 2 years away.

2023 fix the oline

2024 look for a QB

2025 CMC will be like 40, will need a new RB

2026 probably when we’ll start contending. QB will be in his 3rd year. 

 

I’ve never seen a franchise that has been so successful at wasting All-Pro Players career; Cam, Luke and CMC.

If this were true we’d have Justin Fields right now.

I think our defense is fine now. The offense is fuging them over by keeping them on the field constantly.

Unless this team finds a new philosophy it will be a long time. We have to prioritize building and maintaining an offensive line.

La Canfora posted something and we are 3rd in yards per game for defense which tells you that the offense is giving short fields which never helps. We have some issues to fix but this defense reminds me of 2019 Tampa…all those same players were there in 2019 that won is 2020 but Jameis didn’t help them out.

Yeah because hes looking so great thus far, right?

[PghPanther]

hehe......... what a question.............

Maybe the question should be how far out do you think this team will be from having a winning season?........or better yet ........two consecutive winning seasons?......

Right now Panthers are in the same boat as the Lions.........

Yep. At least 3-4 depending on if they learn from their mistakes.
