When will we be good again?

[Kettle]

Simple question. What do you think?

Worded another way. How long does it take to rebuild?

[dbeat]

It took us 2 years to get to the super bowl after 1-15, so I'll say 2 years? At best...

[Kettle]

that would be best case scenario. gotta consider a lockout next year though.

Simple question. What do you think?

We're good now. Some fans recognize deficiencies in a few aspects of the team. Others will point at luck as a factor in the form of tipped passes intercepted, wierd bounces on fumbled balls, RB & WR slipping, even the rain making slippery condition contributing to the missed INTs and fumbles last week. SO as I said, we're good now, but a bunch of other teams are better.

[Kettle]

good job putting a positive spin on an otherwise dismal situation

2 years from now. Clausen develops into a solid qb and on his way to being elite.

[Swarly]

with a good off-season we'll be fine next season. all depends on what Jerry has planned for Kalil/Williams/Smith/etc.

I'd also say there is too much talent on the team to call it a "rebuilding year." just need a couple players at key positions(WR, DE) to step up and we'd be fine. easier said than done, though.

3 years if the lockout does happen...

[Panths]

We're going to be good next week actually

[Montsta]

I say 2012-2013. A top 5 pick this year plus top 10 next (assuming their is football) puts us in great position later.

[Neylus]

I'd say not next season but the seaon after before Clausen can operate the offense without thinking too hard.

[JungleCat]

It will probably all come down to coaching changes, draft picks, and free agent signings after a lockout season.

[Dpantherman]

I don't think there will be a lockout.

[PantherBrew]

There is not going to be a lockout.

Depends on who the next coach is. It could be next season or it could be 10 seasons from now.
