So, in the other thread about Watson the conversation about wasting players careers got me to thinking about how the Texans stacked up vs the rest of the NFL since they've been around. I just wanted to see it kind of laid out which franchises are really "known for wasting careers". Based on the stats I chose to use there are maybe 3 or 4 teams that I wouldn't trade places with and one of those teams has at least been to a conference finals (Jags). They are also in a pretty good position right now moving forward so we'll see how it goes from here. AFCS highlighted in Purple.
There are some teams that have more Dreadful seasons (5 or fewer wins; some winless and 1 win teams)....But they have a superbowl or an appearance mixed in...Personally an appearance or win is the Trump card for me.
Chart also just shows how good the Pats have been. Their first SB didn't even make the cut and they are still clearly waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than everyone else.
Some of my data may be slightly off, but for the most part I feel this is pretty accurate. Just one many looking at some data while I'm working, so if you find something off I'll correct it.
I chose these categories because I felt they best illustrated teams' success over a time period. Anyways, take it for what you will.
