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

[rayzor]

1- HC

1 -OC

1- OL (the whole thing)

1- QB

I firmly believe SBs are a mix of quality of roster, coaching, luck, and timing.  Two of those things are largely out of our control - when does the team get hot, when are people getting healthy, etc.  Roster is partly there... We are close to an elite defense... Good skill players on offense... but real bad at OL and QB.  And yet, OL is an interesting thing, because a couple great additions can change the entire look of a unit.  QB, tho...

And then there's coaching.  Last year, I thought it was a strength... This year, fug, Rhule looks as lost as our offense.

In reality we need a new coaching staff, a quarterback, and a few pieces on offensive line. Yes, only a few pieces. In reality most teams don't have a perfect line, so we're probably only an actual good free agent, and hitting on a draft pick from a competent line.

[Moose Hoover]

You'll know when there are more superstars walking around in your condo

[OneBadCat]

We're one tackle, one center, and Sam Darnold becoming a good QB away.

[Madwolf]

Honestly, if they can fix the offensive line, find an OC, and get a rookie QB they're not that terribly far away.

a tepper phone call to Cam Newton.

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

The way things are going this regime is going to cycle out before we even threaten for the playoffs

[Pantherxtreme]

If that Watson trade had gone through we would have been a bonafide playoff contender this season and as long as you're in the dance anything can happen. 

The defense is good, they would be even better if they were able to play with leads and not constantly on the field due to 3 and outs. 

Both Watson and McCaffrey have put up MVP caliber seasons before behind not so great offensive lines. 

And I know Robby's gotten fat and lazy DJ Moore's making business decisions apparently. But they were one of the best 1-2 threats just a season ago.

Trade for OT Cam Robertson... Not Newton We desperately need a Starting/ Franchise Offensive Tackle. Taylor Decker is also another Legit offensive Tackle to get. 

DRAFT- First round pick OC- Tyler Linderbaum. 

 A Starting QB...

And a safety to pair with Chin

Just for starters.

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

2 years IMO. Basically a year to acquire and develop an offensive line. Also, if we draft a QB it's not uncommon for year 2 QBs to be ready to take their teams deep into the playoffs. In the meantime I think we will flirt with wildcard status similar to what the Bills did their first 3 years.
