When do you think we'll see the Panthers in the Super Bowl again?

[dpanther69]

2035

[Jon Snow]

Best case scenario? 2 years. 

Worst case scenario? 3 years after Rhule is fired.

[Carl Spackler]

No chance in hell does this team even make the Divisional Round again.

[RumHam]

i'd be happy with the playoffs first. it'll be '27-'29 before we sniff anything, and we'll all be dead anyways so it doesn't matter.

In the grand scheme of things the Panthers are actually well ahead of pace as it goes to appearing in Super Bowls...

The Panthers have appeared in 2 Super Bowls and in most cases, despite many many decades of extra tenure, only 18 teams have appeared in 3 or more.

No team with fewer years in the NFL has appeared in more Super Bowls than the Panthers...

...conversely -- 3 teams with longer tenure have been to the same # (2) of Super Bowls (Buccaneers/1976, Bears/1920, Falcons/1966)...

...4 teams with a LOT longer tenure have only 1 Super Bowl (Cardinals/1920, Saints/1967, Jets/1960, Chargers/1960)...

...and 2 teams with MUCH longer-tenure have never been to a Super Bowl (Lions/1930 and Browns/1950). 

Be careful what you whine about...

It's almost like some people here don't realize there were professional football championships prior to the Super Bowl.

TL/DR:  Be careful what you whine about...

If you're going to say the Browns haven't been since 1950, then you have to treat the Ravens as an expansion team starting right around the time we did.

It’s an impossible question for any fan base to answer. There is so much that has to go right for a team to get to a super bowl. 
 

I can say with confidence that we aren’t going until we find a top ten qb. Whether that he by trade or draft, we need to find that piece first and foremost.

Took 9 seasons to get to the first one then 12 years to get to the one after that so by this pattern it will be in the 2030 season

Yea but those Super Bowl appearances were under the previous owner. The new owner hired a guy who didn’t beat a ranked team as a college coach to a top 10 salaried contract.

The first AFL-NFL Championship (retroactively called Super Bowl I) wasn't until 1967, so it would be disingenuous to go back further than that year, without including the championship winners prior that time. 

If we did, we'd soon discover teams like the Browns, Lions and Bears were often among the best teams (league champions) in the NFL/AAFC.

TL/DR:  History Matters

This.  We can talk about probabilities based on past performance but the reality is we have a Head Coach that is in over his head and has made horrible choices for the last two years.

Until Matt Rhule is gone this team is going nowhere fast.
