Eagles Question of the Day: If the Eagles franchise wasn’t an option, which team would you root for?

So, this one could get interesting.

There are 32 teams in the NFL, but what if the Philadelphia franchise was no longer an option as our team of choice?

Obviously, I would at least take my fandom out of the NFC East. There is absolutely no way I would ever root for the Dallas, Washington or New York. I grew up in Ohio, and being surrounded by Browns and Bengals fans have ruined those franchises for me — not to mention that they’ve been rather historically soul-crushingly bad. So those two teams are out.

I’ve never been much of a band-wagon fan, so I wouldn’t necessarily go for the best team out there — plus, I would never root for the Patriots — but I would want a team that at least has potential and/or a team philosophy for building a roster that I can support. I’d also look for a fan base that loves hard, and supports their team even in the bad times.

So, where does that leave me? I’d probably consider the Kansas City Chiefs — at least I’d have a young, up-and-coming quarterback and Andy Reid — or New Orleans Saints — because partying in the Super Dome as a part of the home team has to be an incredible experience.
