Nor would they have wanted to trade places 5 years ago right in the thick of our playoff run. Not when it was explained to them that Marv is a perma coach who can't win a playoff game. Not after they watch a few interviews with Mike Brown and realize "that's the GM for life". They'd realize how shaky and unsustainable that little stretch was.
I strongly disagree.
Most NFL fans care about winning. When another team is consistently winning a lot more games than them they don't really buy the argument that is so popular around here that "It is better to lose a lot more games than go to the playoffs with Marvin Lewis"
For 9 years from '08 to '16 the Jags had zero winning seasons and averaged LESS THAN 5 WINS PER YEAR. There is no way in hell you could convince them that they were better off than the Bengals who were going to the playoffs 6 times. No other fans in the league love hating their owner more than winning games.
