Who might be NFL's Las Vegas Knights? (1 Viewer)

I like the Bears.

I've checked around a few sites that offer NFL futures and I've noticed that the odds for the Cardinals have a pretty wide range.  I've seen them as high as 100-1 on bovada.  A healthy David Johnson, two new qbs, Christian Kirk, a new head coach..are all pretty major question marks and moving parts in regards to what their future holds. With that being said--compared to other teams that are in that long shot range--I do like their talent pool. 

They also have new coaching.  I'm not sold that the new staff will be as good as the outgoing.

I did mention the new coaching in my post--and I think the question mark surrounding the coaching is factored into why a team that has considerable talent is one of the leagues long shots.   I also look at their division--and I'm not completely sold.  The Rams are solid--but I'm not sure if I believe that Goff is going to repeat what he did last year.   I think the Seahawks are certainly not as dominant as they used to be.  I do think the Niners have improved--but one injury to Jimmy G and that team becomes irrelevant fast.  I certainly am not saying that I expect the Cards to win the SB or get anywhere close to it--but if I had to pick a longshot team--I like them as having the most talent and upside.

My bad, I read right over it.  

I don't disagree with what your saying, though I would probably rather take a long shot on the CHI, CLE, or BUF

N.Y. Jets

                                                                                                        Miami Dolphins

                                                                                                        Cinn. Bengals

                                                                                                        Chi. Bears

                                                                                                        Buff. Bills

The Phins, Bengals & Bills don’t really belong in this comp do they? Browns, Bears, Jets, Giants & 9ers seem closer to it.

Vegas seems to think they do and that the Niners and Giants don't.

 

[Chaka]

The Giants, I imagine, are on most peoples list of most improved teams this year.  The addition of Solder and Barkley with the return of Odell arguably makes them legitimate playoff contenders.

I am not entirely certain Cousins is an upgrade.

Well every NFL GM would surely disagree.

It’s a fairly outlandish position to take if you analyze Cousins’ career versus Keenums’ career. Cousins is far from flawless but even in Keenum’s career year he looked decent but the team seemed to be dying to replace him. Cousins did not have the team success that Keenum did but keenums team was far superior.

Multiple teams got into a bidding war for Cousins while Keenum quitely signed with the only team that (publicly at least) courted him - although he did get a decent contract. That alone should probably tell you something.

Absolutely. I think most people, professional coaches and wannabes like us, believe Cousins has far more physical ability than Keenum. I'm just not certain he is a better QB.
