QuoteI even explained to my younger brother (who don't know much about football BTW)

I see the relation

I thought you almost crossed the line with the Collier joke, but this made up for it.

We do have good fans just not enough.

Bingo. That takes a lot of time to cultivate. There are few new teams (not from the original AFL-NFL merger) that have a tried-and-true fanbase.

And those team are?

Haha, you might have a point. Maybe there aren't any. I said few simply to make a point, but now that I think about it, perhaps I should've said none.

Here's a list of the teams that have relocated to an entirely new market or have expanded since the merger:
Indy Colts
Arizona Cards
St Louis Rams
Tenn Titans
TB Bucs
Seattle Seahawks
Carolina Panthers
Baltimore Ravens (although they did have a team back in the early NFL days)
Houston Texans
and us Jaguars.

From the outside, I'd guess that it seems the Bucs, Seahawks, Panthers, and Ravens have very good fans. But not the "tried-and-true" kind...and I don't really know. I have no facts to back that up, just my opinion.

I figured the list would look like that. I want to point out something I really hate dude.

6 out of 32 teams have never been to the Superbowl, goes who is apart of the "Sad Six"?

Bucs, Seahawks, Panthers & Ravens have all been to a Superbowl, Bucs and Ravens won a Superbowl. The Jaguars have to get out of the "sad six"  I hate that we are in that group with those losers!!! If the Titans or Panthers win a Superbowl it will be worse, Ill start feeling like a Cubs fan......Now thats pain!

The fan base here is mainly bandwagoners and many have been injuried jumping off. The Jags have trouble selling out when they have a winning records. Its sad that once again we have an opposing team in good numbers in Jax. It was nothing like the steeler invasions, but the Brownies also travel well and they were 2 and 4. Jax fans are spoiled and not true fans. We do have good fans just not enough. I dont know if winning a SB will change that. In the stands so many fans are so frustrated with they way the Jags are playing. No one wants to lose, but geesh atleast go down fighting with all you got. Doesnt seem like we have it this yr and missing key player makers that make play consitently. Matt Jones seems to be the only players consitently playing well in every game. These next 2 games scare me, 2 winless teams imagine if we lose 1 or both of those games. I hope the Jags are mad now, maybe they'll play with some fire over the next two weeks. Go Jags

Mainly bandwagoners? Not true fans? Do you go to games? There are thousands of us out there every Sunday tailgating and cheering on the team win or lose. We have a passionate fan base. Unfortunately, we do not have alot of corporate support for the Jaguars at the moment. That is the biggest problem.
I think bandwagoner is too harsh of an accusation.  But I wouldn't call Jags fans passionate or devoted either. 

Browns fans were way more excited throughout the game. Being a Cleveland fan myself, we know how to handle losing seasons. Year after year and regardless of what the team looks like, we're going to be watching and going to all the games to support them.  Clev has sold out every home game since coming back in '99. Which, considering the weather in Cleveland in Nov and Dec, is sacrificing a lot.

The weather was beautiful last Sunday but the game still (from what I hear) was nearly blacked out if not for a last hour buyout. It takes more than buying a shirt to be a fan. It's taking bumps and bruises with your team even when they're losing. BTW, the Browns have never made it to the Super Bowl...

The Bucs also have won a SB just thought I add that. As far as the Browns fans being more excited well they did have more to cheer about during the game. The Jags have to give us a reason to cheer and the fans were more than into the game on that final drive. It will interesting to see how this yr and next yr plays out. The Jags also lack the same thing the fans lack and thats consitency.

Sure, they have never made a Super Bowl but they still have a rich history including having the greatest player in NFL history.

Bernie Kosar was a great player, no doubt.  But to call him the Greatest player is a little over the top, even for me  ;)

Not sure if your wink is cause your entire post was just a joke...but I'm thinking copper meant Jim Brown. And I'm not gonna argue with him in that case.
