Isn't it funny how this stuff always seems to "fall into place" for the NFL's "preferred" teams


Quote:Funny you should ask this because I have a theory on this as well....(you didn't think I would have left any stone unturned, right?? :teehee: )....

 

If you recall, both the Jags and Panthers had quick success, no? IMO, this was no accident. This was by design, so that the NFL could see/gauge how much popularity each of the franchises could get/ thus, being more profitable to the league. The Jags wound up being very good recordwise over especially the 1996-1999 period, but the popularity as a whole still remained pretty low for the Jaguars. Had the Jags popularity during that "test" run become vast, then the NFL would have made sure any Jaguars ebb would have been short lived so that the popularity, would have helped sustain. IMO, Weaver was privy to this plan, too, hence his seemingly desperation during that period to try to do everything they could to get that superbowl win, despite those moves being extremely short sighted and resulting in a later salary cap problem and roster purge, 

 

 

again, this is all just a theory.
