Which team has the bigger legacy of failure?
Which team has the bigger legacy of failure?
Neither as they have both won championships in their history.
The real legacy of failure teams are the Vikings falcons and bengals
Lions because they were so shit Barry Sanders retired early. The Browns were competitive until their original greedy owner displaced the team and a new and even more incompetent owner took over the legacy in name only.
Browns. Even though the Lions were the first 0-16 team, they at least still somehow make the playoffs every couple seasons. The Lions almost always manage to have some hope, and failing that can still assemble some false hope.
The Browns on the other hand have completely dogshit since relocating until this past season. The constant QB and HC carousel was terrible for morale, and it never looked like the franchise would find its way out of the spiral. They were totally hopeless, and the fact that they went 0-16 was a suprise to no one. The Browns finally look like they might be good, but any Cleveland fan who gets his hopes for this team is still naive.
Browns
Lions
Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson*
Vikangz beat out both of them. Who the FUCK goes 0-4 in Super Bowls?
rasms
Bills lost four in a row.
They're 1-3, they won 34
The bills have also won 2 consecutive league championships
And have a hall of fame QB, and coach
Depends. You could make arguments that any of these following teams are biggest failures in the NFL.
>Vikings
>Bills
>Lions
>Browns
>Cardinals
>Bengals
If I'm personally ranking them from my opinion
>1. Vikings
>2. Cardinals
>3. Lions
>4. Bengals
>5. Browns
>6. Bills
From biggest failures to least.
If it wasn't for that one Warner SB year it would clearly be the Cardinals
Well considering the original browns are now the Ravens, you can’t put the Browns and Lions in the same category.
Browns are Jags tier. Shit expansion team.
Lions just like Detroit, represent the complete decline of their city in a perfect way.
Nah, here’s the real tiers
LEGACY OF FAILURE
>Vikings
>Falcons
>Bengals
No championships
>Texans
>Jaguars
>Panthers
No superbowls
>Bills
>Chargers
>Browns
>Lions
>Cardinals
>Titans
Droughts
>Chiefs
>Jets
Only reason I put vikings as #1 over Cardinals is I'm of the personal believe that of all those teams listed, over the course of every franchise, the Vikings have produced the least Fairweather fans.
The reasoning for this is since the beginning of the Superbowl era, the Vikings have appeared in over half of all playoffs. Every single year, the Vikings fans have to live through another miserable winter where they have to care. Their team is constantly good enough to make post season, year in and year out. This history includes 4 Superbowl losses and 27 playoff exits. That's a legacy of failure no other team in the Superbowl era can lay claim too.
Sure you can tout around the Lions forced early retirements because HoF players would rather retire early than play for the Lions who never make playoffs. Or do so to barely choke.
You can bring up the browns and their jersey of failed QB drafts and wasted first round picks, the story of a franchise betrayed, and their SB winning team stolen by Baltimore. Or the Bengals who sole purpose for existing was to piss off the original owner of the browns and that's about all they've ever accomplished.
Bills had those four Superbowl losses in a row, but the only franchise that you could argue can go toe to toe with the failure the fans and franchise of the Vikings has to endure is the Cardinals. Which couldn't even manage to win a championship before the Superbowl era despite existing since the 1920s.
Titans get an honorable mention just because the fact the most memorable thing about their existence is how much better it was as the oilers.
That's my take anyways. Vikings fans have had to endure that legacy of failure every year along the way. Each and every new failed playoff attempt etching another Lombardi sized hole in their hearts.
Lions are a bigger failure they actually had good players and a possible goat QB and then just trow it all away the Browns just had a shit team and staff not much to say about it. Not looking at the history of the teams though i have no idea what they did ten years ago.
Falcons fan here, you're not wrong, per se, but I'd happily take the past 20 years of Atlanta over these two jokes, at least the Falcons fail spectacularly in championship games and super bowls, versus Cleveland and Detroit. Who last won stuff before a single soul on this website was born
falcons and bengals get a pass because they werent around when there were nfl championships and afl championships. Vikings are the old franchise here, havent won shit
you're the biggest retard here. Cardinals are the worst franchise
I understand Tampa has the 1 superbowl, but dont they have the worst winning% in the nfl? They're fucking terrible outside of the late 90's - 2002
The Saints were fucking abysmal for most of their history as well.
>Or the Bengals who sole purpose for existing was to piss off the original owner of the browns and that's about all they've ever accomplished.
the original owner of the browns was Paul Brown. Paul Brown then owned the Bengals. Do you know anyhting?
who's the GOAT NFL team? cowboys, patriots, steelers?
The Vikings have an "NFL" championship but it was during the superbowl era
They have the longest drought but they have championships. They exist.
>The Vikings have an "NFL" championship but it was during the superbowl era
doesnt count then.
Probably the 49ers or Steelers. As much as I despise them, the Steelers deserve respect for being relevant in multiple eras, unlike the Cowboys who were only really good that one time and have been shitty since then. Popularity does not equate to greatness as much as Cowfags would like you to believe they are America's Team.
The Patriots clearly have had the highest peak of all, but they were also a laughingstock until about 1994.
cowboys made the super bowl in 1971 and 1996 according to wikipedia
cowboys have the most success spread throughout the years. Pats, steelers, and 49ers titles would come in bunches
Patriots
Cuckboys could only win when before the salary cap and immediately after its inception when they still had the core of the team under contract
Stoolers did the same with their first four but also they were all jacked on roids up the gills
Patriots are the only dynasty in the salary cap era
Paul Brown never owned the browns, Mickey McBride founded the team and then Modell took over and promptly fired Paul Brown as coach like the literal retard he was.
Old gay nice vpn. Terrible opinion as per
It’s not an opinion, it’s fact
The failure rankings go
>No championships and old team
>No championships and young team
>no superbowls but pre-Sb championships
>long Super Bowl droughts
truthfully, it should go by this
Vikings are way too high, I take it all back
>Vikings less of a failure than the Steelers
Already ded
Browns. How many starting quarterbacks, like 20 now?
You know, I must say I did not know the falcons were that old. Not a zoomer though I am retarded
