Quote:   As someone who has participated here for a long time,  I certainly recall the days when the Jaguars were regularly linked to moving to Los Angeles and plenty associated with that.  Those were trying times.

 

   While my preference is for Los Angeles to get an expansion team unless one of the cities involved absolutely fails to put together a viable proposal  (  St. Louis already has a viable proposal that has been approved by local government ) ,   I'm very glad that Jaguars fans and the people in the Jacksonville area in general haven't had this relatively recent direct threat of losing their team.   Hopefully,  the Jaguars will stay in Jacksonville for the generations to come.  
 

 

If the local fans in LA have any say, I'm fairly sure they'd want the Rams over the other two. The LA Raiders never really caught on despite beating the Redskins in the SB when they first got there. They were largely considered a finesse team in LA, and when they returned to Oakland most agreed that's where they belong. Ask any old timer football fans in LA who their team was, and they'll say the Rams. The Chargers were never LAs team although lately they've been the only team associated with southern Cal so they surely have a modicum of fan base established already.


 

That said, I believe all three teams have an interesting argument that their current stadium is junk. Most players league wide would say they dread playing on the Oakland turf, and fans who don't get their early have to deal with crossing a freeway to park in a large dirt parking lot. What's really sad is how the city of St. Louis has been unable to hold onto a NFL team. They lured the Cards from Chicago only to see them move to Phoenix, and now the Rams want to move back to LA.
