If Each NFL Franchise was a Stock...

[TNPanther]

which ones would you buy, and which would you sell?

I saw this thread on SECRant about the SEC teams, and I'm bored at home with the flu on a snow day, so here goes nothing.

 

AFC EAST

Patriots: SELL - even with the team on the cusp of another Super Bowl appearance, the rumors swirling around TB and BB's relationship hold some merit. They have reached the peak of the NFL and can only go down from here.

Bills: BUY - with young talent on both sides of the ball, the Bills should improve. If Brian Daboll finds a quarterback, watch out.

Dolphins: HOLD - a bit of uncertainty with the QB situation and a wildly inconsistent team.

Jets: HOLD - see how the draft plays out. They definitely overachieved in 2017.

 

AFC NORTH

Steelers: SELL -  with the early playoff exit and the associated locker room drama, rumors surrounding Tomlin's job security, and Big Ben mulling retirement, this is a stock you should dump.

Ravens: SELL - John Harbaugh has one foot out the door.

Bengals: HOLD - they are a wildly inconsistent team and have talent on both sides of the ball. You never know which Andy Dalton will show up.

Browns: BUY - this is a penny stock that will yield little dividends, but the only way to go for them is up.

 

AFC SOUTH

Jaguars: BUY - they have a stout, young defense and one of the better running games with Fournette. If they dump Bortles and draft or sign a better QB, this team could be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Titans: HOLD - a talented team with uncertainty in the front office. Could be great if they pair a good coach with Mariota.

Texans: BUY - with Watson and Watt returning, they could be nasty next year.

Colts: SELL - a dumpster fire of an organization with an overrated QB made of glass. Run!

 

AFC WEST

Chiefs: HOLD - they have a ton of talent on offense, but Andy Reid might be feeling the heat with another late-season collapse.

Chargers: HOLD - another team with potential, but Phillip Rivers isn't getting any younger

Raiders: HOLD - They have talent, but everyone will be rushing to buy with Gruden taking over. I don't think Gruden is as great as people make him out to be.

Broncos: BUY - Elway will do everything in his power to bring that team back to the playoffs, even if it means mortgaging the future on signing Kirk Cousins

 

NFC EAST

Eagles: BUY - this team will only get better with Wentz returning next year.

Cowboys: HOLD - fug the cowboys, but they are also inconsistent and could be terrible or great next year.

Redskins: SELL - a lot of older free agents (Norman, Cousins) that will likely be gone next year. They are the definition of mediocre and can only get worse.

Giants: BUY - even if Gettleman isn't the savior that a lot on this board make him out to be, they will be better next year.

 

NFC NORTH

Vikings: HOLD - talented team that has reached its peak. They are squeezing a lot of good play out of Keenum.

Packers: BUY - Rodgers being healthy will have them back in the conversation next year.

Lions: HOLD - I don't see them being any better than a wild card team.

Bears: BUY - with a decent defense and Trubisky not being held back by Fox any longer, look for this team to be on the upswing.

 

NFC SOUTH

Saints: HOLD - Brees is 39, but they knocked the ball out of the park on almost every draft pick in this past draft. Kamara and Lattimore are beasts.

Panthers: HOLD - talented and well-coached, but uncertainty in the front office with the team being sold, and with the assistants. Defensive side of the ball is aging.

Falcons: HOLD - Sark isn't half the offensive mind as Shanahan was, but MR and Julio are good enough to overcome his ineptitude. Defensive side of the ball improved this past season.

Bucs: SELL - Koetter will be gone next year and they will hire yet another mediocre coach.

 

NFC WEST

Rams: BUY - McVay looks like the real deal and Goff will have another year of experience. Talented on defense.

Seahawks: SELL SELL SELL - that organization is heading to the shitter faster than Russell Wilson came when he had sex with Ciara for the first time.

Cardinals: SELL - oldest team in the league and Arians is leaving. Don't have anyone at QB with Palmer retiring.

49ers: BUY - they came on in the latter half of the season, and Garoppolo looks to be the real deal.

Browns are one that you can buy in at 0-16, or 1-15, sell at 3-13, and double your money.  This is a good time to buy.

Short the Patriots,  Steelers and Seahawks.

Sell them all.  NFL is a slowly dying business akin to coal and oil companies.  I think JR sees the hand writing on the wall, thus his willingness to so easily sell his beloved Panthers.

He's also 1,000 years old.

You gotta buy Dallas, NYG, GB and Pittsburgh. 

Sell NE because theyre about to go downhill real soon. 

Sell the Browns of course. 

buy Pitt when ben might retire (ik he said he'd be back but he also said he was retiring last season then changed his mind) and bell might sit the season out? And who knows if shazier will be back. I would totally sell Pitt.

 

my main buy would be the giants. They should be priced as the second lowest stock (going off draft order) and really cannot do any worse. They also get their best player back. If there was some sort of ETF for nfl teams i would put all my money on the giants
