What team that *could* move to L.A., *should* move?

[NorthernLights88]

To me, the obvious answer would be the Raiders. They were in L.A. once before, and the team has been garbage since 2002. They were mostly crappy in the 90's too, might as well change it up and see what can happen elsewhere.

Then who, Jacksonville? Seems like that team doesn't have much support in Florida, and most people there are either Dolphins or Bucs fans. Though looking back at their season records, overall, they haven't been as pathetic as they are now. Just in 2007, they had 11 wins, and they were pretty damn good from '97-'99(14 wins in '99), and even 12 wins in '05. Pretty crappy team overall, but I think the Bucs are actually worse overall aside from their one Superbowl run. I actually think the Jags deserve to stay more than thr Bucs do, but obvioisly Tampa isn't going anywhere.

Rams or Chargers are the better option.

Toronto is in the mix as well

I guess I'm hung up on the few glory Kurt Warner/Greatest Show on Turf years for the Ram. That and, I'd enjoy seeing all the Oakland fans getting pissed off.

Ugh. Please not the Raiders. Dodger fans are bad enough.

Raiders or Rams to L.A., Bills to Toronto.

Bills were just sold to a local Buffalo owner who isn't moving them anytime soon

Strangely enough, they haven't been the Brooklyn Dodgers for 31 years prior to my birth, yet I still have a hard time thinking of them as the L.A. Dodgers.

Cool, now they can be the Timberwolves of the NFL. Suck total ass endlessly for years aside from a few brief glory years that all fell short, and get saved by a local owner who won't move the team under any circumstances but keeps the shit train of losing chugging.

Move the Rams, the Rams arent a perfect fit in St Louis anymore. the dome isnt up to NFL standards. but its up to NCAA standards, so have the Mizzou/Arkansas football rivalry be the dome's new home.

I guess I'm hung.

Me too.

Rams move back to LA.
Instant fans. Talk NFL into putting them into the NFC South. Instantly competitive!
NFL sells the story as the "local team coming home"
KC says thank you.....

Moving the Jaguars to LA would turn the least-supported team in the NFL to one of the most popular.

 

[Ties5o11]

Jags to LA. Rename and rebrand the team.

Move them to the NFC West. Great built in rivals with SF, Az, and Seattle.

Move the Rams to the NFC South, and the Falcons or Panthers to AFC South.

Of course Rams back to LA, they already have a built in fan base. Hell on Facebook, there is a bring back Rams page that has over 42,000 likes. Now the Rams will have a shorter drive to kick Niners ass.

Think of how close your QB will be to Cedars Sinai. That's gotta be convenient.

Interesting you mention FB, someone posted a FB map of fan allegiances and the Raiders were dominate only in the north part of LA, I think it makes sense for them to go back to LA. I am sure that demographic means something to someone somewhere. Of course the new stadium project has not even broken ground, apparently they need a deal with a team before? Build it and they will come no?

The Jets were the only team NOT represented.

The Rams were in Cleveland before they moved to LA.

 

[trojanfight]

think this is the make it or break it offseason for NFL in LA. if they don't get a team to agree to move to LA before next season I think it possibilities will start to fade away.

 

[boltfan72]

The NFL had two teams, and they both left. What makes LA so attractive now? I've gotta think the issues leading to those teams leaving still remain.
