Always been a big UT fan, rooted for the Colts when Peyton was there, then the Broncos when Peyton was with them. Followed the titans a bit from about 2016-2022 but lost all respect after they dumped Josh Dobbs for Will Levis. Who should I root for as my new NFL team?

Make the case.

Some of my favorites:
Chicago Bears
Detroit Lions
Pittsburgh Steelers
San Francisco 49ers

Wherever Dobbs/Jennings/Sampson, etc play

Where do you live? Just go with your TV market.

I was in 3rd grade and they lost a SB to the Redskins. I lost my daily 50 cents that my mom gave me for ice cream by betting on them. **** the Broncos…..😆😆😆🤣🤣

Networks in W and E TN have been selecting other matchups to broadcast over the Titans since they are bad.

This whole thread is some weird Titans troll, I guess.

If I was in Knoxville and the Titans had already existed, I’m sure they would have been my team. Moved to Knoxville from Michigan before I turned 3. Grew up a Vol, but felt a connection to the Lions since I was born there and we would go visit. I’m thinking most of my friends liked the Cowboys, Steelers, Dolphins, Falcons. Two of the popular players were Fran Tarkenton and Bob Griese with a lot of us kids.

I've always just kept the NFL as something fun to watch. College football is so stressful I just sit back and enjoy the NFL. That being said I like the 49er's, I root for them when the Titans suck, it they lose I'm not bothered like I am when my Vols lose.

It's not them, it's you.
Pick your favorite team and be a fan. Don't bounce around because of one player. That makes you a fan of a player, not of a team. I have been a Cowboys fan since about 1975. You love your team regardless of whether they suck or not. Will you jump from the Vols if your favorite player hits the portal and goes to Sacramento State or something?

Steelers since 1976

I was a Cowboys fan that exact same timeframe, so I hated the Steelers.

All my friends were Dallas fans because of Too Tall (Jackson TN)…..I had to be different. When I found out Swann was technically a Tennessean, that did it for me.

My dad went to both Pitt/Dall SB games in the 70’s. Brought me back the Terrible Towel.

Nice.

Swann should’ve been called for offensive pass interference. 😀

Always thought Stallworth made Swann better, just as much a threat downfield

It pains me to say I would not recommend my team, the Raiders. Too much dysfunction.

Honestly, I would go look at historic teams with solid consistency. The Steelers, the Packers, the 49'ers. Those would be my top 3 choices. They arent dominant every year, but they're all franchises that never feel like the wheels come off.
