3 to 4 years minimum before Panthers make the playoffs again

Maybe if the players, coaches and fans grow bears it will happen faster.

Growing bears is a tedious thing. It takes time, patience, and doesn't happen over night.

Not this year.

Next year = lockout.

year 2 = new coach, new system, new players, no playoffs

year 3 = maybe winning season, probable not playoffs

year 4 = maybe playoffs

That's an optimistic scenario. It's not going to be good for a while Panther fans. Can you handle it?

Thank You

Many of you keep arguing that this is a rebuilding year which is why we stink so bad.

This is a "gutting year." A precursor to rebuilding because the lockout is coming.

2010 - clear out the team. Don't spend any money. Make sure the team is young and cheap

2011 - ZZZZZZ Lockout. Get rid of Gamble, Gross, and anyone making over $5M if possible. .

2012 - Now we start rebuilding. Might actually have some draft picks to work with

2013 - 8-8 with some FA pick ups

2014 - Playoffs

2015 - Stadium controversy by new owners

I'm pretty damn good at predicting these things, so plan on the above.

Good day
