strangely, the patriots seem to have stolen their idea. but apparently they want to do it with just one quarterback... hey, only another 13-14 years to go brady.
Kuhmetzler yea, that trade was a kick in the balls for them. it's kinda hard to keep(i.e. pay) two franchise quarterbacks on the roster though, especially considering how many teams wanted him, and how hard it is to know if a quarterback is going to be great or not when he'd only played like 3 games.
Im a Panthers fan and when people asked me how I thought they would do this season I'd say "We went 10-6 last year so we'll probably go 6-10." never thought there were stats that would actually back my predictions up.
@@AmbizarYT not that safe of a bet, it seems that Brees is getting a rest, but also Payton said he plans to win the game so we will have to see how it will go
Jon Bois is the only person on the internet whose content is unlike anyone else's. If a hundred people had to create a video based on the history of every NFL team, I doubt a single person would land on "wordless jazz slideshow" and then also somehow totally nail it?
Agreed. Jon Bois's material is one of the only channels I completely put aside anything to watch. Chart Party and Pretty Good are some of the best gems for sports on the internet.
9:04 - "And that's the story of the Atlanta Falcons" Oh such foreshadowing! Who is here in 2021 after Jon and Alex told the complete and unabridged story of the Atlanta Falcons?
This order is only in terms difference between games won per year so a team that goes 4 and 12 for all of its existence would tie on this scale with a team that goes 12 and 4 for all of its existence. So if you want the Falcons to be a stable team (have the same/similar record for a long time), your 31st.
The Chargers get attention though. I think the most meaningless team is the Titans. I never see Titan fans here in NJ. I see everything else. Dolphins, Cowboys, Cardinals, you name it. Titans? Never see them. Ever. I know BROWNS fans (they actually have a lot of fans lol). But Titans? I actually forget about them 99% of the time. I never see them on highlights. I never hear them ever mentioned on the radio, I never see fans in comments... They simply do not exist. They're so invisible that I can't even remember watching a game that involved them. I actually had to look to see if they were playing this year. They're playing tonight so maybe, MAYBE, I'll see some fans on Twitter. Hoping they win. As an Eagles fan, I don't have a good feeling about the Steelers. That team has too many rings. IF by some chance they both end up at the SB, I honestly don't think the Eagles would have a 35% chance of winning. Love the current team, but the Steelers are so experienced and have been to the Bowl 1000 times. Hoping the Titans find a way to kill some momentum and showcase how to kill the team on a TNF game.
Also Charger fan, also agree. I mean just look at their home attendance numbers. Better yet, look at the stadium. I remember this year's Broncos @ Chargers showdown. Stadium was approximately 70% orange.
9:08 - From a 6-10 season in 2016, the most recent season when this video came out, to 11-5 in 2017 and 7-9 in 2018. Glad to see the Panthers are still super-volatile.
@@JV-the-Tossh Well at least Arizona/St. Louis(since at the beginning of the chart, they would still be in St. Louis) has revived themselves. As a fan, it hurts me to see how many missed opportunities they have had, especially drafting wise. And that 1 time where after a 7-7 Season led by Don Coryell(who took the Cards to 3 straight 10 win seasons) was fired and immediately picked up by San Diego and he revived them like he did the Cards. Oh I hate the tale of my Cardinals Misery.
Man, it wasn't until SB 51 that I realized just how much the Falcons are the epitome of "one step forward, two steps back". Maybe more than any other NFL team.
So I updated this through the 2020 season, here's how it went. Overall, average volatility throughout the league has stayed about the same, as you might expect. It increased very slightly from 2.82 to 2.83. A lot of the more volatile teams became less volatile, and vice versa. There are a couple of exceptions to this, though. The Seahawks, which were already the least volatile team in the league, somehow became even less volatile, going from 2.03 to 1.91 (also the only team under 2). Also, the Titans, which were dead in the center of the rankings, randomly decided to go 9-7 4 years in a row, causing them to jump to 8th-least volatile team in the league and go down from 2.83 to 2.56. (Side note: I'm a Titans fan and I'm predicting right now that they'll find a way to go 9-7-1 this year. At least the AFC South should be free...) On the other side, the 49ers and Texans both jumped from 11th and 12th to 4th and 3rd, respectively. The Texans ended up with a score of 3.32, which was almost enough to catch up to the Falcons. The Jaguars jumped the most spots, although it was from 23rd to t-13th, so not quite as impressive. I guess the only other thing worth mentioning is that thanks to Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes, the Chiefs are starting to be consistent now! They went from 5th to t-13th which is tied for the biggest drop in the rankings.
Gary Andersen was also perfect that entire season, didn't miss a single field goal. Then he missed the chip shot against Atlanta and 6 year old me cried my eyes out and never trusted the Vikings again
@Suit Williams As a Redskins fan I’d give him a pass? Only thing to talk about the Redskins in that chart is basically bad contract after bad contract. And trust me we prefer NOT to hear about that!
@@JWex-jy7sk 1 year ago, wouldn't that mean _after_ they dropped that name and became "The Washington Football Team" until this year? I'm going to hope it doesn't, because I like to think the best of people. But if you were still calling them that instead of just saying 'as a Washington fan', a word that is merely two letters longer, come on. The entire reason he didn't talk about them was because of that blatantly disrespectful name.
@@vonriel1822 Okay calm down and relax? I'm very certain that was before, because the day they announced they were retiring the name is the day I started calling them "The Washington football team" And I even like the Commanders name
The Jets 10, then 4, then 10, then 4, then 9 win seasons were the Chad Pennington years where he went from being injured to a comeback player of the year contender.
I appreciate that the only thing they had to say about the Lions was "Matt Millen". I'm glad we finally have another GM between him and our current guy.
As a Niners fan, I'm lucky that I'm old enough to have watched the 80's era Niners. When they lost Harbaugh it was downright painful. "Hey! We don't suck anymore! No, wait, I was wrong."
angelo marino I'm sorry, man. The good news is that no team stays down forever. Though some sure seem to want to prove that wrong. Maybe we'll get lucky like we did with the Warriors and new owners will come in who are truly dedicated to winning.
A niners fan who grew up watching Garcia and Owens(2001-2004) and went through 2005-2011 with Alex Smith,Patrick Willis and Gore, only to get all of that thrown away in favor of a Joke of a QB named Kap 7. Glad I immedeatly became a Chiefs fan in 2013 GO ALEX !! Montanna,Young,Garcia and Smith.
This was great. The icing on the cake was as a Lions "fan" seeing all the interesting and clever comments, and then near the end comes Detroit with simply "Matt Millen" Seriously 'nuff said.
You want to think about it, all those 9-7 seasons ranged from missing the playoffs to reaching the AFC championship game. That's a pretty incredible thing.
This is one of the most oddly satisfying videos I have ever watched. I feel like I’m about to pass out while listening to The Weather Channel Local on the 8’s like how I used to as a kid, but at the same time the content is absolutely top-tier. You definitely gained a new fan moving forward.
Nathan Y 2 reasons. The Rams moved already in 2016 and the Chargers in 2017, and the Rams only played in St. Louis since 1995, so there are 10 more LA Rams seasons
As a lifelong chargers fan, I am utterly enraged by your completely accurate description of our history. How dare you correctly depict us in this dreadful fashion. Expect a letter from my attorney.
This is one of the better jokes in this thread, yet it has fewer 👍s than most of the replies that repeated Jon's joke and added a "LOL" or an "IKR?" UNACCEPTABLE.
It is wonderful how, with the exception of maybe 2-3 teams, it so succinctly illustrates the unique torment of each organization. Like the devious tortures of Dante's Nine Circles of Hell.
"The Jets do not play football. Football just sort of happens to them." Never have I heard a more accurate description of the New York Jets organization.
Hey SB you should do another updated verson of this. It'd be interesting to see with how all these teams have won superbowls and then lost bad the next year
This was the funniest and most chill NFL statistics video I've ever watched....the music was amazing. I was wanting to dance but laugh at the graph commentary at the same time. 😂
Haha same this season is a great example of how the panthers are unpredictable lol. I also think the NFC south is always competitive. You've got Brees, Ryan, and Newton all in the same division and Jameis is on the rise. You could put the right pieces around any of those guys and have a super bowl team.
The music used is almost trancelike, a solemn serenade to prefice the wonder of NFL history unfolding right before our very eyes, in the usually mundane machinations of charts and data sure, but all brought to life and animation by the greatness of the video’s presentation. Yet another masterpiece by Jon Bois, eh!
As a Rams fan, we keep on going from painfully losing seasons, to very good seasons, back into our trash cave for roughly 10-13 years, then become good again, Happened in 1980 - 1989 - 1999 - (Brief "Average" Period from 2002 - 2004) - 2017
I love how Jon's only words for the Lions are "Matt Millen." and nothing else. Thank god they're doing good in the 2023 season, I worried they'd fail me forever.
Paul Fisher, this is the best comment of the bunch. IT IS! It’s your local sports on the 8’s... Where it’s always sunny in Philadelphia and terrible in Cleveland. 😆
Panthers: "They're so unpredictable that they horseshoe back toward predictable" Also Panthers: "No idea why" Me, a Panthers fan: "Sounds about right..."
As a Panthers fan, I can 100% support this. Although we’ve kind of settled into a losing-but-not-terrible-record pattern these past few years, we’ll have a 12-4 season, win a playoff game, everybody will come back the next year, and we’ll go 6-10.
"The Chargers are inherently meaningless. Nothing they have achieved signified anything real or abstract." This reads like my last employer's performance review of me.
Life as a panthers fan: one year we're unexpectedly great, another we're disappointingly crappy. At least we win at something. Panthers fan through fire and ice.
As someone who was born born in New York, moved to South Carolina, and pulls for the Jets and the Panthers, I never realized that I was riding two of the biggest roller coasters im the entire league
Panthers can be summed up with "We have great players and win a lot!" to next year "All of our great players are on IR!" then the next year "Our great players are healthy again!" and then next year. "....Annnnd they're back on IR."
Sorry I’m late to this (chart) party, but seriously, the Panthers are 3.73 standard deviations above the mean, whereas the Falcons are only 1.53 above... they’d be 2.19 above if the Panthers were excluded, because they make it so much larger.
I thought my team would be higher on this list, but then I remembered that the Niners have really only had two eras: Back to Back Champions, and Suffering Incarnate.
“The Jets do not play football. Football just sort of happens to them.”
That’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.
Daniel Bailey Welcome to the Vikings.
I'm still laughing
That was my favorite part of the video next to the panthers.
If I was a fan to any other team rather than the Saints that would probably be the best part of the video.
As a jets fan... I sadly agree
"So I've got this idea for a football team where I start a Hall of Fame quarterback basically every game for 30 consecutive years." LOL
QS Awesomeness Brett Hundley is a HOFer I will hear nothing different
strangely, the patriots seem to have stolen their idea. but apparently they want to do it with just one quarterback...
hey, only another 13-14 years to go brady.
It’s in jeopardy now. Rodgers may have to be released
Mockturtlesoup1 the pats wanted to do it but traded Garoppolo accidentally

I mean, I watch/read join bois stuff even though I have absolutely zero interest in sports, so that counts for something.
There is a youtuber by the name of summoning salt who makes similar videos but they are about Video games
As a Panthers fan, I didn't realize my roller coaster ride suffering was as bad as it was. I just assumed the rest of the NFL felt this way too.
The rest of us do feel that way about our teams. You're the only ones who have the right to.
William Coll haha right I’m also a cardinals fan so I have one team to lean on
William Coll As a Charger fan this trend is really game to game. Rather than year to year
I knew those 3 straight NFC South titles felt strange, but I couldn't figure out why
It’s weird because we’ve had an alright qb situation with beuerlein delhomme and Newton all playing 5+ seasons, so you’d expect less volatility.
9:04 - "And that's the story of the Atlanta Falcons"
Oh such foreshadowing! Who is here in 2021 after Jon and Alex told the complete and unabridged story of the Atlanta Falcons?
Now THAT was a great story!
The 995 yard story is like that whole series in miniature. It's the abstract to Jon and Alex's thesis.

The music used is almost trancelike, a solemn serenade to prefice the wonder of NFL history unfolding right before our very eyes, in the usually mundane machinations of charts and data sure, but all brought to life and animation by the greatness of the video’s presentation.
Yet another masterpiece by Jon Bois, eh!
As a Rams fan, we keep on going from painfully losing seasons, to very good seasons, back into our trash cave for roughly 10-13 years, then become good again, Happened in 1980 - 1989 - 1999 - (Brief "Average" Period from 2002 - 2004) - 2017
Jon Bois....you make magic with your charts, your puns and your smooth jazz. Smooth........(yes, Barry White voice. Who else?).
“Panthers are so unpredictable they horseshoe back to predictable”
This music always get me in That mood.
Would love to see an updated version of this. Some of these teams did some wack things record wise in the meantime.
I love that the Dave Hampton story is here about the Falcons! Can’t wait for the rest of the series
Im a jets fan. That description is one of the most accurate statements of my team that ive ever read
I love how Jon's only words for the Lions are "Matt Millen." and nothing else. Thank god they're doing good in the 2023 season, I worried they'd fail me forever.
is this Local on the 8s
Paul Fisher, this is the best comment of the bunch. IT IS!
It’s your local sports on the 8’s... Where it’s always sunny in Philadelphia and terrible in Cleveland. 😆
I didn't now the NFL started in 1990. Wow, What were all those games I watched in the 70s and 60s
Panthers: "They're so unpredictable that they horseshoe back toward predictable"
Also Panthers: "No idea why"
Me, a Panthers fan: "Sounds about right..."
I dont know what i just watched
But i loved every minute of it
The Washington one aged beautifully.
It is one of “those” videos and that’s what I love about it, also the analysis on each team couldn’t have been done in a more orderly way. Thank you.
Why did i just watch that
Mackey Mouse cuz it's great and awesome
Mackey Mouse because it's Pretty Good
smooth jazz is probably one of the last genres of music id ever associate with football. But it works here for some reason
As a Panthers fan, I can 100% support this. Although we’ve kind of settled into a losing-but-not-terrible-record pattern these past few years, we’ll have a 12-4 season, win a playoff game, everybody will come back the next year, and we’ll go 6-10.
Congrats: y’all were BY FAR the worst team in 2023… and don’t even have a first round draft pick.
I just love the huge increase that just says 'Hi, Dak.'
0:40 "And now your local on the 8's".
9:51 for those of you asking about the music.
Jon almost always has proper credits at the end
Anyone pause the video to read some of the text and your screen still looked like it was moving?
yep, but left to right, like it bounced.
Yes
We need an updated version of this
"The Chargers are inherently meaningless. Nothing they have achieved signified anything real or abstract."
This reads like my last employer's performance review of me.
Life as a panthers fan: one year we're unexpectedly great, another we're disappointingly crappy. At least we win at something.
Panthers fan through fire and ice.
As a Chiefs fan watching this in 2020, it’s so nice to finally have a team that can win playoff games.
The HEY ALL RIGH aw is a literal representation of Cardinals fans hopes and dreams after 2015.
As someone who was born born in New York, moved to South Carolina, and pulls for the Jets and the Panthers, I never realized that I was riding two of the biggest roller coasters im the entire league
Panthers can be summed up with "We have great players and win a lot!" to next year "All of our great players are on IR!" then the next year "Our great players are healthy again!" and then next year. "....Annnnd they're back on IR."
Sorry I’m late to this (chart) party, but seriously, the Panthers are 3.73 standard deviations above the mean, whereas the Falcons are only 1.53 above... they’d be 2.19 above if the Panthers were excluded, because they make it so much larger.
This video was SO satisfying to watch. Love the smooth jazz and the humorous commentary throughout.
I like the fact that the Browns are one of the most stable teams, because you can always count on them to suck.
Literally the best content on the internet
I would appreciate how well you described the Browns in three words, but technically it was only two.
I thought my team would be higher on this list, but then I remembered that the Niners have really only had two eras: Back to Back Champions, and Suffering Incarnate.
"and that's the story of the Atlanta Falcons"
yup
that's it
that's all

Part 0 of 7
This HAS to get another installment
I laughed aloud at "football just sort of happens to them."
Oh god, as a Giants fan that is so true
"The Jets do not play football. Football just sort of happens to them" .. lmao
That jump from 3.52 in second place to 4.52 in first place is huuuge
"The Jets do not play football, football just sort of happens to them." I love the accuracy!
I wouldnlove to see an updatebon this since it was almost 7 years ago now.
