There are alot of dysfunctional franchises in the NFL. Which franchise is the most dysfunctional? And which franchise is in the most trouble going foward?

I said the Jets. That team/organization is a mess.

[EAGLES8690]

Without a doubt it's the Circus known as the NY Jets.

[Gmen4ever]

Raiders. It simply does not get any worse from top to bottom, and there is no visible end in sight. They have NOTHING going for them now, or in the foreseeable future.

[cmart102]

Raiders easily

[snoopdogg88]

the Bills haven't made the playoffs since 1999.

thats insane, in a league where 7-9, 8-8 teams can make the playoffs.


The Bills and Raiders are stuck in a perpetual state of mediocrity/sucking
Horrible stadiums,  little support, bad ownership, bad coaching, bad players

everything about them sucks

[Dawkins 20]

The thought of playing for Jacksonville is pretty cringe-worthy. Awful team in an awful market.

[RedskinsFan01]

I voted for the Cardinals because they don't have a QB, a terrible offensive line, no running game, no tight end production, and now will likely have to find a new head coach and staff. And they could lose Ray Horton to a head coaching job.

[VaBeach_Eagle]

If the Eagles have a coaching change, we'll have at least a couple of years near the bottom. Depending on who that new coach is and what he does, maybe longer.

Danger Of Moving:

Jacksonville/St Louis

Why? These are not football towns worth keeping an NFL team in.

Danger Of Sucking For A Couple Of Years:

New York Jets

Why? This team has NOTHING on offense. Nada, zip. Jeremy Kerly as the # 1 Receiver. Shonn Greene as the # 1 RB. Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, and Greg McElroy. LOL. If they don't get some weapons and a starting NFL QB next year....Jets fans get ready for Rebuild.

I spend alot of time in Jacksonville and I somewhat disagree. It's kind of a stereotype. They have alot of passionate fans but they just dont physically show up to games. Wear a Titans jersey in certain parts of J-Ville and you'll find out how big of a football town it really is.

Never said they weren't a "football town"...i said they are not "worth keeping an NFL franchise in"

[snoopdogg88]

The problem with Jacksonville is that they have such an obscure roster and organization

Can you name 3 players on that team?  
Is there any "brand" or anything that comes to mind when you think of the Jax Jags

They need a true star to revitalize the Jaguars in that city.   They need an RG3 or a Luck or someone to excite you

[Footballman175]

Tebow + MJD + Blackmon !

  

What a headcase that will be.

[RUEagle]

Oakland, Cleveland and Jacksonville are all terrible in all 3 phases and have been for quite some time.  I'd give the edge to the Jags though bcuz even if they were good they wouldn't sell out and that's a big indicator of a bad franchise.

  I'm sorry I'm having a really tough time wrapping my head around this one...matter of fact I wouldn't mind being a guinea pig in an experiment that requires me to walk around Jacksonville in a Titans jersey. I wanna see what those scary Jags fans are gonna do.

[HaroldTheSecond]

Los Angeles Eagles, anyone?

I'd be down for that if Lurie is too cheap and/or too narcissistic to give us a real HC and a real QB.

I walked 1 mile back to my hotel after a MNF game(Giants-Jags) in 2005. I stuck around after the game because I had a press pass, and was in the locker room and at the PC for a while, so my friends took off without me because they got tired of waiting. It was 1am, I was alone, and in full Giants gear. Not a single person said a word to me, and there were still quite a few people meandering around the area.

Passionate? They had at least 6 sections tarped off in the stadium, for a MNF game.

There must be other "certain parts" of J-Ville that are considered scary too. I wasn't so much as looked at walking alone, let alone confronted

[RedskinsFan01]

Yeah the problem with the Jags is that they are a very boring team in a small market. They need some excitement. Usually their coaches are very conservative and run-first. But i guess thats what happens when you draft punters in the 3rd round.

[pencil face]

The Jest, they are $20 million over the cap next season the Talent on the team is average, and Sanchez is damn near untradeable with that ****ty contract...
Raiders changing coaches like clothes no stability...
The Jags can't sell out even with a majority of the seats covered, first round QB is brittle...

But the Packers are in an even smaller market - and it doesn't seem be stopping them from being a year-after-year contender.

[rocketman44]

Great poll....wonderfully bad, that is. I had trouble picking, and it's amazing how many franchises in America's most popular sport are doing poorly or have poor prospects.

I ended up picking the Bills. But I could easily have gone with any of these teams except for the Eagles.

I picked the Bills because:

They're already in a long playoff drought.
They have no real quarterback prospect.
They overpaid for Mario Williams
They have no head coach (well, they have Chan Gailey, same thing).
They have a guy named Buddy as general manager.
They have Buddy Nix as general manager.

So they need an entire restructuring, which includes a quarterback, before they can even hope to be any good.

Actually, among these teams, I think the Eagles may have the best prospects - they may have a good young QB in place. They have good offensive linemen coming back from injury next year; they have some WR talent and a plethora of RBs, and they've got guys like Brandon Graham that show some real promise. They also should have no problem attracting a good head coach as long as they don't botch the selection.

I have been to Jacksonville before. Jags fans are actually a myth, no more real than bigfoot. Their are just bored people who still like to wear Fred Taylor jerseys and watch NFL games at a cheap price. They even got a little wave going on between the one or two hundred of them.

[JustAnotherEaglesFan]

I picked the Jets because of how much of a laughing stock they were this year. Almost every other team besides the Eagles/Chargers have had "the most trouble going forward" for at least a decade.

[Dirty 30 Sucks]

Eagles and Raiders. Eagles dont know who their coach or QB is = awful team.

[LacesOut]

Raiders for me.

Good poll, OP.

I would say the Jags are because they are have poor attendance and are probably going to be moving to LA before long. They need a home run in this draft to save them. I think the Jets are a mess as well but not quite as bad to me. Although they have a lot going against them with being media ****s and a circus as well as playing second fiddle in NY/NJ.

i do like the poll though.

Wasnt there a story about a Bears fan who got stabbed to death down there earlier this year?

The Giants arent a divisional rival.

Yeah, the Bills are a mess. I feel bad for their fans. They get hosed by that garbage week in and week out.

Well, 3 people voted for them so obviously it wasnt much of a troll listing. I just put down the worst teams of 2012.

That's why I picked the Jets...all I can remember about the Chiefs this past decade is Priest Holms
