Our players don't do stupid things? They don't even need to be young. Let's see, Aldon Smith, Bruce Miller, Ray McDonald just to name a few.

10. San Francisco 49ersRegardless of whether the 49ers keep Chip Kelly, this roster is unrecognizable from the one that likely would have won a vote as the league's best in 2013. Even the players who are left -- guys such as linebackers NaVorro Bowman and Michael Wilhoite and quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- haven't looked like themselves, as they've battled injuries and age. This is a mess of an organization, from top to bottom.

It's far more likely that the 49ers would fire general manager Trent Baalke before making any decision on Kelly, but in either scenario, the roster is years away from being competitive. Kaepernick has been an upgrade over Blaine Gabbert, but he's still struggling to correct his issues with pocket presence and accuracy and is likely to leave during the offseason. The 49ers are likely to finish the year with a top-three pick, but it has come during a year when there doesn't appear to be a quarterback worth taking. Todd McShay's first mock draft doesn't include any quarterbacks before the 30th selection.

And the 49ers aren't going to be stocked with draft capital in 2017, either. They'll have an extra fourth-round pick because of Alex Boone's departure and a couple of late-round selections, but they'll have nothing else to help restock the roster.

New management would have a scarcely fathomable amount of cap space to work with -- the Niners could easily roll into March with more than $100 million of room -- but who wants to play there? It would take a remarkable long-term effort to reshape the organizational culture in San Francisco, and whichever coach intends to do so would be joining an organization hiring its fourth head coach in four years. Does that sound appealing?

Rams, sadly. Neither team is in much of a position to win soon. But the Rams have a super rich owner who seems committed to his team's success. Niners have the Yorks :(

Plus, the Bay > LA.

I don't agree...

They have a highly rated rookie QB and a budding star RB to build with. We just have the RB and ours can't stay healthy. They still have also one of the best front 7's in the NFL and ours is breaking records for ineptitude even with the potential Buckner is showing. Then you have to deal with the Yorks who have proven to not just be leaky babies but are more than willing to thow you under the bus and pull triggers on whims.
