Isn't it funny how this stuff always seems to "fall into place" for the NFL's "preferred" teams
|
But is there a direct correlation between on the field success and value though? If you look at Forbes' list for most valuable teams, Dallas Washington and Houston all populate the top Five, and those three teams have one Playoff win between them over the past several years. Dallas' last post-season win was in 2009 with Phillips as the Head Coach, Houston finally got into the Playoffs in 2011, and were a one and done team, and Washington hasn't had a win since Gibbs was there.
Granted, New England is up there in worth, but that probably has more to do with sheer population size than anything else. If the League is using it's "giant unseen hand" to move players to teams, it doesn't really seem to change value all that much.
I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Quote:TMD, if the NFL wants the Jaguars to fail in Jacksonville, how do you explain the Jaguars being the most successful expansion franchise in their first 5 seasons of the modern NFL era? Especially when considering that Carolina and Jacksonville had the most favorable expansion talent acquistion formula to work with in the modern era. 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.

Well, as said, its just a theory. We'll see how close it comes to being the truth. Maybe it won't be close at all. Maybe the Jags will start consistently winning soon and I can then admit I was wrong.
I can't take you seriously on any football chat from now on.
What is it about the end of season any you going nuts...like your name theory. Quote:This is the most ludicrous thing I've ever read. Just the court jester, nailing the role again.

Quote:I can't take you seriously on any football chat from now on. you never did before anyway. No big loss.
Quote:you never did before anyway. That's wrong. I think you have some good takes on the NFL when you don't try to twist it into jags bashing 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: ).... Hours after the Jaguars 2nd round playoff upset in Denver in the 1996 season, there was a mega sized rally at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for the Jaguars when they returned from the Mile High City. If this wasn't a sign of vast popularity, I'm not sure what is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcY-vDZo84M We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

If this wasn't a sign of vast popularity, I'm not sure what is: I was talking more of a national following type level, not merely locally. i,e, TV ratings for games the Jaguars were in over that span/ merchandise purchased/ etc ect......in other words, their potential as a money maker for the sport.

The NFL doesn't "want" us to suck.
It's our own fault we suck. WE made poor decisions. It's why most sucky people suck. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Quote:The NFL doesn't "want" us to suck. most people aren't a multi multi billion dollar business Quote:well just to continue the theory....Look, we all know you have no "theory". We also know you don't believe much of what you put out. Clearly you make up most of what you profess to believe on the fly. But it is amusing to see you get deeper and deeper into the muck as you get tangled up in your own "theories" when someone pretends to take you seriously and presents facts. With you it's always Comedy Central.
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
Quote:most people aren't a multi multi billion dollar business Because most people they don't make the outstanding decisions that put them there. You're making his point. You make better decisions than your peers, and you are rewarded. You make bad choices, and that too is paid back in kind. The clubs mistakes have compounded their struggles.
