Question about the teams


Recommended Posts

This is a business. The league will continue to grow as long as it believes that it will increase profits.

I can almost guarantee that there will be another expansion(probably two more teams) by 2008.

Los Angeles is one city very interested in having a team.

Let's look at the history here:

Baltimore Colts leave for Indy.

Rams leave LA for St.Louis.

Raiders leave LA for Oakland(back to Oakland).

Browns leave Clevland to fill void in Baltimore.

Oilers leave Houston for TN.

Cleveland gets expansion team to fill void left by Ravens.

Houston gets expansion team to fill void left by Oilers.

That's two teams to have left LA in the last twelve years or so and no replacement yet. They're due.

Maybe L.A. should have put Policy and Lerner on the plane with the Raiders...

 

And to better clarify...the BROWNS didn't leave Cleveland... a team without a name left Cleveland...the BROWNS name was just waiting for more players...everything stayed in Cleveland... I predict a Super Bowl victory this year...f9d :D

The Browns did leave...it was decided after the fact that the team history wouldn't follow them to Baltimore.

So interested that Houston blew them away in the expansion process when the NFL's plan was to go to L.A. Honestly, I don't know if there's really a good chance of another expansion...they've got a really good number at 32 teams, and I don't know if the owners would be willing to divide their shares of the TV contract even more.

It was decided LONG before (f)Art Modell, Carmen Policy and Al Lerner ever got on that plane to Baltimore...it was a done deal...but then...Policy and Lerner were able to throw it out to the Dawgs and say see???...we're your heroes...we've given you back your team...nahhhhhhh...our "team" never left... :D

Los Angeles needs to bring back the Xtreme, you know, the XFL champs. Bring back XFL mvp Tommy Maddox and runner up Jermaine Copeland. I know this won't happen but if they brought back that XFL team they could compete in the NFL. I also think that the NFL will have more teams by 2008 and Los Angeles will be one of them and another possiblity is Alabama. The NFL will keep growing because every time they get a new team they get more money$

Yes he is on the Cowboys with 9 other WR's at the moment. He is a good solid player though, I don't know why one of these sucky teams like the Bengals never picked him up. If the Xtreme played every team in the NFL they would come out of it with a winning record.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
