No, Superbowl win or bust, and he has 2 years 

He has six months. Don't care about constraints or physics

Last years team has been blown up. This team will be completely different as it will consist of a lot new players in starting roles. They have to install a new scheme and philosophy on both offense and defense in about 4 months.  The coaches are 99% all new and a lot of them have never worked together before. On top of that they are putting their hopes in a rookie qb that they hope they can get ready by game 1.  Sounds like we should expect the playoffs at least.

In theory, if everything goes perfectly I would give it a snowballs chance in hell.

That's reasonable

Who are you trying to kid?  It's not even close to reasonable.

5 games, 5 Super Bowls!

Anything less should result in a house cleaning at Panthers HQ by the end of this year!

All of this^^^sounds an awful lot like teaching, learning, physical workouts, practices, competition, cooperation and coordination. 

Just way too complex in this age of instant gratification. 

Don't tell me the truth. 

Tell me what I want to hear!

That reminds me of Jerome Bettis' famous stat line...

5 carries, -1 yards, 3 touchdowns

Bettis was the goal line specialist behind Staley that year.

There’s going to be growing pains for a rookie QB so yeah this year I just want to see QB development and young WR development

“six months” is a constraint relating to physics

Or…

[hair on fire] “It’s five days into free agency and we haven’t signed a consensus all star WR1 yet.  What is wrong with Fitterer, can’t he see that we are doomed without one?”
