NFL "What ifs"

What if Baltimore and St. Louis had been awarded the expansion franchisees instead of Carolina and Jacksonville?
I think either the browns or Oilers moved to Carolina or LA and the remaining stay when the two who loss the team got the expansion alongside carolina or LA, the idea of a second team on the south was propossed and carolina might be a prime target to relocation too.

What if the Bills actually won all 4 Superbowls' in a row!
They would be the Dynasty of Dynasties till patriots make a name for it, depend, bill avoid utter collapse after those 4 bowl?
 
As a Broncos fan it pains me to ask this, but what if Elway stayed in Indy?

When John was drafted, they were going into their final season as the Baltimore Colts.

If Elway stays, though, that means (according to ex-Colt GM Ernie Accorsi. I found this out after reading his book, The GM) that Accorsi kept his mouth shut after Elway called him.

The story goes like this: Elway called Ernie a few days or so after the draft. He agreed to play in Baltimore, and he told Accorsi that he would call back when things died down. However, Ernie said that he made the mistake of telling the owner, and Robert Irsay traded John to Denver that night (thank goodness. I am a Denver fan as well).

Accorsi said that he was going to tell John that he wasn't wedded to HC Frank Kush (John's dad didn't like him. He was a wannabe Bobby Knight. His dad, Jack, was a player's coach) because he didn't hire him (Accorsi wasn't GM in 1982. D. Syzmanski was. Accorsi was just handed the job by Irsay). Ernie also thought that they eventually would have had to sign Elway, and that the Colts would have ended up staying in Baltimore because of the excitement that Elway would have brought to the fan base.

As for the Broncos, I could see them sticking with Steve DeBerg for the next few seasons (or maybe even giving Mark Herrmann a shot. Dan Reeves liked him). DeBerg was an underrated QB. He had no defense in San Francisco, and he played on some bad TB teams.
 
So not draft anyone? would the got for a RB or WR in the same draft them? so if yes all other QB might got as intended.

Steve DeBerg was a good QB. They didn't seem to be in a rush to replace him with just anyone. They only did when they got Elway, the best prospect at the position of all-time (perhaps). If they didn't get John, I can see him staying at QB for the next seven years, at least. Then, in the 91 draft, Reeves (if he is still HC) drafts a guy by the name of Brett Favre to eventually replace him.

Yeah Deberg was pretty good and servicable and with a RB or WR he would full nice things in the time(specially with AFC west anaemic performance when the raiders start to slow down) But i don't imagine their three lost superbowl(the AFC Champion can end anywhere from Cleveland to Colts to Dolphins in that time frame) but if reeves or someone endure, they might push for favre and would revitalize the broncos...and packers would scream WELP(well maybe keep warner and would be fine)

Warner would take some time to develop, though. If they still had the same coaching staff there, Mark Brunell would be more likely to be the man.

Yeah but would be in time when Majik Man body finally give in, of course Warner will take a few season under fire but i can see they in the meanwhile draft a great team arround him.

So yeah that is a possible timeline for both broncos and packers...

So Colts might get superbowl and loss or their team might not be good enought beat cleveland? Wonder with Arizona in Indianapolis would the rams move to the dessert or would be the browns later on?
