Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

I'd stop watching the NFL if they relocated. It's getting worse every year anyways. I already don't like the fact that the Jaguars only play in Jacksonville 7 times during the regular season.

How long do ya think Kim Jong Un would put up with pick 6's?

He might just have players in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle all game long and let them know about it.


You know that might actually be entertaining when players do start screwing up. Maybe this guy is onto something with this whole dictatorship thing.

I can truly say that the Jag fans that live here in the United States do NOT want them to move overseas. However looking at the situation without teal color frames, if the NFL is going to move to London, the Jaguars are the most logical option.

 

How can anybody deny this? The fact that some here are saying "I've heard it for years" has no relevance. There was no vote scheduled. Now that there is (supposedly), this is a foreseeable event that may take place.

So, 10 teams would have to make the round trip flight just once (including preseason games)

 

But the Jaguars would have to make the round trip flight how many times?  Depends on how they schedule the away games I suppose...but it's a lot more than once.

 

This isn't going to happen.

How are they the most logical option?


When has the NFL ever 'moved a team'?

When has the NFL ever 'moved a team'?

Let me clarify. 

"If the NFL approves a team to move to London"

 

Because the Jaguars just are the most logical option.

 

Think of it this way, say another team (BILLS) move to London. Would the NFL allow other teams to have 1 "home game" in London in addition to the already established home team?

The answer would be NO because that would dig into the established teams fan base/ local revenue, which would be to entire/sole reason a team would move there in the first place. 

 

Do you think the Jaguars are to remain profitable in Jacksonville without a "home" game in London? The Jags would take a HUGE hit in Local revenue if they don't have that home game in London.

 

The other scenario would be to play in different areas in London which would have different teams having a "home game" every year. But if this happens, we should just have a couple of expansion team over there IMO.

It's not possible.    Reason one.  Salary cap would have to have a high conversion rate.   Why would any player play for 30% less of his suggested contract?  Why would he spend higher taxes for basic needs?   Where is the adjustment?   Even if could be one.   The NFLPA Union would complain favortism for higher pay from players over seas. 

 

Even though that cost would balance off stuff.   The players would over welmingly gripe being cheated. 

 

This would be a trainwreck.

This pretty much sums it up.

 

Other than the Jags and my local loyalty, if it were simply a choice between TV games, I really find Saturdays (NCAA) to be much more fun and exciting vs watching the NFL.

REGARDING THE EXCHANGE RATE:

 

You all do realize that the MLB  and NHL deal with this under their cap restrictions for the Canadian teams don't you ?  the only difference is that the Canadian Dollar (like the Mexican Peso) is valued less than the US Dollar.  

 

If the NFL can negotiate a $20 Billion Dollar TV Contract, I think they can figure out how to deal with an exchange rate.

You gotta take the Dennis Rodman approach of just having a few drinks and lighting up cigars while you hang loose with Señor Un.

So all of this would first assume that the Jaguars would want to move to London.

Yes but if overall other teams players feel cheated just cause in this day and age.   Which I don't agree with.   But they don't care what I or anyone else thinks.   It will cause conflicts amongst the league.

The reasoning Khan would to move have is highlighted. Or did you not read that far?

 

Do you really think Khan would take that revenue hit? If a team is able to move to London, and the state of the jaguars remains consistent with the last few years, you don't think Khan would feel pressure to move before any others? This would sacrifice local revenue which is essentially what makes the Jaguars able to stay in Jacksonville. But as Khan has stated, the local revenue NEEDS to increase in order to remain stable in Jacksonville.

 

At the end of the day, when we are talking about profitability, owners do NOT care about you. Especially small markets. Moving to a bigger market for an owner would make them forget about you real quick. 

 

I am sorry that this is such a touchy topic. But am i saying anything false? PS I want the Jags to remain in JAX.

And do you understand that the only reason that teams have moved have been stadium issues?

It will be interesting to see what happens when other smaller market teams  are refused public money to build stadiums when the time comes. Curious how long the Rog plans to keep playing musical chairs with these franchises.

The larger market has to have a real interest though, not a forced one.   I have strong ties in England.  And the main sport remains the world cup.  And that will not change.

 

NFL football is seen as same as American Pro Wrestling.  (for entertainment)

This thread is an ideal way to demonstrate the difference between ignorance and stupidity.


Ignorant people write articles about the Jaguars moving to London.


Stupid people believe these articles.

Personally, I think it's the opposite.

 

STUPID people write articles about the Jaguars moving to London.

IGNORANT people believe these articles.

Forward ahead to the 56:00 minute mark. Since the Jags have entered the league, only the Jags and Bills are teams that have not gotten a new stadium, have a plan in place for a new stadium, or have gone through 300 million in stadium renovations.

 

Pay attention!
