Which team is destined to be the next great Dynasty (1 Viewer)

[Hagger]

The 70's had the Steelers, the 80's had the 49ers, the 90's the Cowboys and the 2000's had the Patriots. With the beginning of a new decade in the NFL, which team do you feel has best built itself to become the next great dynasty?

I realize these things are pretty much impossible to predict, and the term 'Dynasty' is debatable in itself, but out of all the teams in the NFL who do you think has the best shot?

For me, if I had to predict, I'd say the Jets. They have a young core of very good players, they've already had remarkable success considering they've only been together for a year, and they have a head coach that really seems to get the best of them. I could see the Jets being a force to be reckoned with for years.

 

[No Way Jose]

I would have to pick a team with a decent Defense and a great young QB. I think a team like Dallas or Green Bay could win multiple SB's in the '10s

 

[MAC_32]

If Tony Romo shows that the bad Dec/Jan Romo of pre 2008 has been kicked to the curb it's the Cowboys.

 

[dagwood]

I don't think that team has emerged yet. But three good young teams are Dallas, Green Bay and the NY Jets.

All three still need a couple pieces before you are going to call them great, but they all have some nice building blocks.

 

[Kree]

Upgrade Phillips and its probable to be them if anyone.

 

[bucsbaby]

New Orleans could be a candidate. Brees should play for a few more years, they've got good pieces in their offense, they've drafted and have pieces on D...

 

[Ghost Rider]

Consider that in July 2000, probably no one would have picked the Patriots to be the dynasty of the 00s, so if there is a dynasty in the 10s, it will probably be a team we don't see coming right now.

 

[SSOG]

The 70's had the Steelers, the 80's had the 49ers, the 90's the Cowboys and the 2000's had the Patriots.

The Steelers and Colts beg to differ.

Call me nuts but i like TB in 2-3 years if things go well.

I like them for a few years but they are to defensive to be the net dynasty. Im not impressed by the offense and the loss of TJ will hurt them more than 99% think. JMO. He was the cornerstone of the division..... Greene looked good but part time was part time and shared time. Look at the carries. Remember Rhodes and Addai?

I'll bet they do... What's your point?

 

[Jerry Lawler]

I'm guessing it will be like the 00's in that no one team dominates the decade. The Patriots won the most Super Bowls, but I don't think they even win the most games in the decade.

For me, the Packers stand out as the best candidate. I like the way they've built their team over the past several years. However, if the CBA favors big market teams the way most expect, the Packers probably take a back seat to big-spending teams like the Cowboys and Jets, maybe the Dolphins. Dark horse pick: the Redskins. Nobody spends like Dan Snyder.

The Browns were pretty dominant in the 50s.

Yeah, I was gonna say that too, but I wasn't sure if the Browns were "offically" the team of the 50's.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

what the new CBA looks like could change the considerations for this question, although the Jets look like a good guess either way.

The Lions were pretty good in the '50s, too. The '40s were all about the Bears, the '30s, the Packers.

Fixed

 

[Snotbubbles]

Not buying the Jets as a dynasty. They're a .500 team.

 

[jurb26]

I really like the 49ers outlook for the "10s." I'd place them at the top of my list right now. Some others I like:

Mia

GB

Cinci

 

[PatrickT]

No love for Atlanta? Good organization that really gets it now (Blank was a little Snyderish, and too involved at first), a young QB with a lot of potential to be elite, an elite running back with a lot of gas left, alot of young talent on both sides of the line, very good coordinators, a proven GM and a head coach who seems to have every player behind him and on-board.

vote, sure, but I think they have as good a chance as any in the league.

Others in no particular order:

Bengals

Jets

'Boys

Saints

Ravens (another one that no one has mentioned)

Lions (Yes, the Detroit Lions)

Colts (co-2000s champ)

 

[Billy Ball Thorton]

My best guess is Green Bay. Rodgers I think is the next Manning not Eli

 

[butcher boy]

If you believe the conspiracists who think that the NFL is fixed, it's the Redskins.

 

[CalBear]

I would have to pick a team with a decent Defense and a great young QB. I think a team like Dallas or Green Bay could win multiple SB's in the '10s

Tony Romo is not a young QB; he's 30 already.

 

[Don Quixote]

Lions (Yes, the Detroit Lions)

This is one that I was thinking of. It will take them a couple of years to get going, but Stafford, Suh, and Calvin Johnson are three franchise players that can build a team around (if Detroit can manage not to screw it up).

 

[CalBear]

San Fran, Detroit?

Both teams have horrible ownership; if you want to look at who will have dynasty success, look at the owner, not at the QB.

 

[radballs]

So the Raiders have a legitimate shot then.

Another factor is picking a team in a misrable division. One of the best way to become a dynasty is to beat up on the little sisters of the poor in your division and get better playoff seeding as well as an extra playoff berth or two.

Didn't help San Diego become one.......just saying.

I like the Eagles.

Everyone of their skill position guys are young and have flashed talent.

Thats a nice fiver

 

[Doug B]

New Orleans could be a candidate. Brees should play for a few more years, they've got good pieces in their offense, they've drafted and have pieces on D...

The Saints should be the leading candidate right this second, already having a title in the bank. Having an elite QB means that the rest of your squad doesn't have to be a juggernaut to contend every year.Some of the squads mentioned in this thread have the QB in place, but they're starting off one title behind the Saints. Personally, I believe the Saints, as currently constructed, are built for multiple deep title runs.

 

[kentric]

Patriot management has done an excellent job in stockpiling draft pics, trading back from current year pics to higher, subsequent year pics. If Brady can stick around for another four years and they train his replacement well, then I think the Patiots will rebound from a 9-7 year in 2012 to become an 11-5/12-4 team for the following 4-5 years.

I like the Eagles too and should have mentioned them in my post. I don't think skill guys is the place to look however....

I'm guessing it will be like the 00's in that no one team dominates the decade. The Patriots won the most Super Bowls, but I don't think they even win the most games in the decade.

Exactly so. The Patriots were the team of the first half of the decade, and the Steelers were the team of the second half of the decade, and the Colts were the team of the entire decade. In my opinion, Indy's seven straight 12+ win seasons is the most incredible feat of consistent dominance I've ever seen a team achieve. The 9 playoff appearances this decade are also incredibly impressive, as is the fact that they won 115 games (I believe that's the most games any team has won in one decade) despite the fact that they rested their starters SEVEN TIMES over the past 10 years.

... Despite all that, the chronological "spread" of the Pats SB appearances gives them the best claim to the overall decade (after the 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2007 seasons), IMHO.The Colts have been a ridiculously excellent team for a long while ... having the one title almost seems (unfairly) like a huge letdown. A lot like the 1990s Atlanta Braves.

So if the Braves won the most games over a 10 year stretch and made the playoffs every year, would they be the team of that decade compared to say, the Yankees, who may have won more titles but had a slighlty worse record?

I think the 00s Colts are like the 90s 49ers. Better record over the course of the whole decade, but 00s Pats, like 90s Cowboys, have edge because of rings.

Yes. The Pats are clearly the team of the 00's. I say this as a Steeler fan, the team with the 2nd best claim to that title. NE had 2x as many SB appearances as Indy and 3x as many Championships. End of story.It's not like Indy had an abnormal advantage in the overall wins vs. NE anyway. Each team had only 1 loosing season in the decade. Indy had 115 wins and NE had 112. So 3 more wins. NE almost makes up for that in the difference is rings alone. This is no contest.

 

[Deadman31]

Pittsburgh lucked into two Super Bowls and then showed how "great" they were by missing the playoffs in the following years.

 

[bagger]

The Ravens with a core of Flacco, Rice, and Boldin on offense with a very good D looks to be a solid candidate as well.

Baseball is a different beast thanks to the 7-game series. I don't place as much emphasis on championships as others because a single-elimination tournament is a pretty wacky animal. The Colts' 9 playoff appearances and 7 12-win seasons, in my opinion, trump the Pats' 7 and 4, respectively. I can totally understand how reasonable minds could differ. I just think of the 2000s as belonging to three franchises rather than belonging to one, like decades past have.

Unfortunately, SSOG, people in American culture are fixated on the #1. There may be some debate but eventually, over time, the mob will hash out who is the 00's top Dynasty and it will not be a shared classification. And as such, because we're focused on the #1, it will most likely be the Pats, since they were #1 the most ... :-\

You need a sedative.The Dolphins had 3 SB appearances, 2 victories and the only perfect season in 72. I'm not jumping up and down yelling "we're number two".

Who's jumping up and down or yelling anything? I'm not a Colts fan, a Pats fan, or a Steelers fan. I'm a Broncos fan. To be honest, I probably like the Pats the best out of all three of those franchises (because we always beat them ). I'm just offering my opinion on who was the last great dynasty.
