The secret sauce is smart people and good management. It's not weather or taxes or any of the other bull#### because that's been around the Panthers since they came into the league and they were terrible for a long time.
Smart people at the top, success and growth mindset, hire good people and empower them.

I don't really get the point you're trying to make.
Having advantages doesn't guarantee that you'll succeed, and lacking advantages doesn't guarantee you'll fail. However, having advantages does make it easier to succeed, and lacking advantages makes it tremendously harder to succeed.
Florida was bad for a bunch of years... ok? Does that mean lower taxes and good weather to attract free agents isn't an advantage? Of course it's an advantage.
Just because the Panthers took a long time to become competitive, doesn't mean that they didn't have a big advantage on their side... it just means they squandered it with bad management.
