In your opinion, what are your 5 worst (most "blah") NFL teams for fans and players?

You can rank them if you wish. Mine are just listed out. Mine are essentially all of the Southern teams minus the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
Miami Dolphins
Atlanta Falcons
Tampa Bay Bucs

If I was making millions of dollars to play football, I would love to play and live in Jacksonville, Nashville, Miami, or Tampa Bay.

I think Minnesota Vikings would suck, even though Minneapolis is cool. Its just freezing there. Cleveland would probably be the worst.

Oh they are absolutely horrible. But, they do have a solid fan support.

Jacksonville


The rest of the towns are livable. Jacksonville is pretty sleepy. I wasn't much of a fan when I went

I really don't think most players give a frick.

1. Money
2. City
3. Success of franchise
4. Fan Support


Sure, there are superstars that take pay cuts later in careers just to be on a winning team for their legacy, but I promise 99% of players look for biggest paycheck and then best city before they look for past team success and fan support.

I don't know. Certain historic franchises (Cowboys, Packers, 49ers, Steelers) probably have a leg up on money and city.

Meh, I could never do it being from the south my whole life. If you could handle the cold Minnesota would be incredible to play in.

Insanely loyal and supportive fanbase, great city (sans cold), and actually has somewhat of a successful franchise history.

Maybe city, not money IMO.

And Dallas and San Fran would be awesome cities to be rich in FWIW.

Minneapolis is very cold in the winter months, but still a very clean, lively city at all months. There are an abundance of bars and restaurants that have opened up in the last couple years. Additionally, the Twin Cities has seen one of the largest jumps, percentage-wise, for millennials in the nation. Couple this with a brand-new stadium, and I can't imagine the Vikings are among the five-worst NFL teams for fans and players.

Green Bay has always had to overpay for studs to sign there. It's why they put so much effort into their scouting. They need to hit home runs with the draft, because free agency is usually a pain in the arse for them.

I agree with all of this, but its blisteringly cold a lot of the year. A lot of people from warmer climates would fricking hate that.

A lot of these players in the SEC have never seen enough snow on the ground to warrant even a snow plow.

Umm what about Detroit? Shithole city, terrible franchise, awful weather. Really no redeeming factors.

Maybe, but it isnt like some dont mind the cold.

NFL players mapped out by birth

Either way, the only real drawback for Minnesota is the cold and those damn accents.

Ton of awesome breweries with brand new stadium, great nightlife and an underrated culinary scene.

Plus everyone is Minnesota nice

Motor City kicks arse. The franchise, however, well.....
