    How could they not mention the 1959 Packers? Probably the first prominent turnaround in NFL history. A team that had not had a winning season since 1946, went 1-10-1 in 1958, then Lombardi comes in, and the team goes 7-5, were in the NFL Championship Game in 1960, NFL Champs in 1961, and the dynasty was off and running.

    • @orangefox1231
      @orangefox1231 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      ​@@bryanglass5818 Absolutely not. For one thing, that team resembles more of the 1970 Dolphins that had a ton of talent but it was adding a coach that turned them around. The 75 Colts were a strip-down, build back up job that was magnificent.
      Also, the turnaround concept leans more toward a single year turnaround. The Packers took 3 years to win the championship. 1999 Rams went from 4-12 to BOOM Super Bowl win. That's number one period.

    • @Gungho73
      @Gungho73 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My favorite little nugget about that season is prior to them unveiling it in the regular season, that offense got absolutely drilled in practice whenever they pulled it out. To the point the defensive players was mocking the idea of it even existing as an idea by the coaches. They underestimated just how much knowing what it was in those practices, seeing it drawn up in team meetings, how much that made a difference. It certainly wasn't that easy for many teams in the league. Teams studied it as if it was upwards of 80% of the Dolphins playbook, when it simply was a change up at times. That's how shook up much of the league seemed to be. Though it was a flash in the pan, it was still one of the more exciting things you'd ever seen and took advantage of the talent they had.

    Kurt Warner is the greatest underdog story of all time. I hope you’ll get to watch the movie about it during the holidays.

    • @chocolatetownforever7537
      @chocolatetownforever7537 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe he beats his dogs, and we dont know if he is a good person, but I think Kurt Warner is the real deal. If you ever watched, "The Brady Six" documentary about the six QBs taken before Tom, one of those guys was Marc Bulger, who took over for Warner after he got hurt. Bulger had immediate success, and was given the starting job over Warner, even when he returned healthy. In that doc, they have a sideline camera, and after Bulger leads the Rams to a TD, Warner is THE FIRST guy to congratulate him, and honestly, seemed more excited than Bulger was. NO BACK UP, especially an MVP and Superbowl winning one, who lost their job to injury, would be like that. Bledsoe sure as hell wasnt that way to Brady.
      That says so much about Kurt Warner. Little ego, and team first. Watching him in that REALLY impressed me.

    • @Gungho73
      @Gungho73 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@chocolatetownforever7537 The only thing I know about Warner in terms of "negativity" he was rather grumpy towards a young Larry Fitzgerald. Larry had caught a meaningless TD and was essentially thinking high of himself in a bad loss and Warner basically said are you here for stats or are you here to win? And that one moment changed Larry into the man we've known as a selfless type player, and arguably is one of the biggest reasons why they would eventually be in the SB. Changed the mindset. And again, that's the meanest thing I can think of is questioning a mans commitment based on the situation. Which is wild when you consider its Larry Fitzgerald.
      The best thing I think Kurt did, and this is something that attaches super well to your Bulger comment, is the Eli Manning situation. Manning goes in, struggles pretty bad in a losing streak. Kurt told the staff, do not put me back in. Keep the young guy out there and let him take his lumps. And that clearly was huge in terms of helping Eli understand the adversity he'd face in the pros, knowing that the coaching staff wasn't going to give up on him. To be a guy who was a starter and be selfless enough to do that? I don't know many in history who could have made that decision.

    The 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers from a disappointing 6-10 season in 2003 to a franchise best 15-1 record in 2004. The 2004 Steelers season is a credited to several items:
    - A running game reborn with the addition of Duce Staley and the rebirth of the Bus Jerome Bettis after Staley got injured.
    - A rejuvenated defense anchored by linebackers Joey Porter and James Farrior and had new stars born such as linebackers Clark Haggans and Larry Foote, a safety named Chris Hope and some safety from USC named ...Troy Polamalu, who would go on to become one of the greatest safeties in NFL History.
    - A change in coordinators - Ken Whisenhunt being promoted to Offensive Coordinator replacing Mike Mularkey who left to become the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and the return of defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to Pittsburgh.
    - The most important a rookie QB Ben Roethlisberger - who never lost a game and took the Steelers all the way to the AFC Championship Game that season.
    Even though the Steelers didn't win the SuperBowl that year, that 04 team rejuvenated football in Pittsburgh once again.

    Other turnarounds that deserve mention:

    * The 1947 Chicago Cardinals (won the championship two years after a 29 game losing streak, including winless seasons in 1943 and 1944 - the latter as a combined team with the Steelers)
    * The Packers under Vince Lombardi (team had finished 1-10-1 and dead last in 1958, then went 7-5 in 1959 and were beaten in the 1960 Championship Game, then went on to win five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls)
    * The 1970s Steelers (after having one prior playoff appearance in 1947 and being perennial cellar-dwellers, went on to win four Super Bowls in six years)
    * The 1980s 49ers (after finishing 2-14 and dead last in 1979, went on to win four Super Bowls in the decade)

    Good list. I'd probably put the 1981 49ers behind the 99' Rams, but other than that, solid list. Besides all the stuff everyone knows about Walsh, Montana, and The Catch in 81', it was how terrible everything had been to end that decade, and even the lack of talent when Walsh arrived, which makes that 81' Super Bowl run even more improbable. The franchise had been so bad for so long that it wasn't a given that a GM/Coach in Walsh could save it, let alone make them champions, and revolutionize the way the game is played. That 81' team was one of the more impressive champions of those 49er teams, not only due to the turnaround, but because this was really Joe Montana, Dwight Clark, and a mostly young and very much rebuilt defense. Lott, Rice, Craig, Taylor, all those guys were still a few or several years away from joining the team. Great team..

    It’s kinda crazy to think just how many things had to happen that easily may not have for Tom to have the chance to begin with in New England. First Bill noticed that he was still on the board and made the call to draft him even though they already had three QBs and their long term starter. They then in a sense wasted a roster spot to keep him on the roster as a fourth QB because they felt he had potential to grow into something. And then Bledsoe getting hurt leading to Tom getting the chance. And then committing with Tom after they’d extended Bledsoe prior to 2001 season with the biggest contract in league history at the time, although an extremely misleading deal considering it was a ten year deal that the Bills restructured for immensely less like three years into it. But at the same time it’s wild he ever got the deal he did. In the eight seasons prior his completion percentage got to 60% once, he had 20+ TDs 4/8 seasons, in three seasons he had more interceptions than TDs and another he had the same amount, and his rating was in the 60s twice, the 70s three times and the 80s three times with his career high being 87.7 so at the time the guy teceiving the sticker value largest contract in history had never even hit a 90 rating. And in the three playoff trips prior he had more interceptions than touchdowns every time and his best rating was 60.4. So for me it’s doubly interesting to think just how unlikely Tom ever having a chance was mixed with the fascination of how Bledsoe got what he did.

    You can add this years Bengals to this list. If they win it all, this honestly might be even an even more impressive turnaround than the ‘99 Rams

    2017 eagles would also be a great team to add on the updated list. And they finished the job against that years MVP and nfls best team tom brady and the patriots. Also did it with a backup quarterback and were the underdog in every playoff game. The true story of an underdog team who turned it around from 7-9 and missing the playoffs the previous season to going 13-3 and losing their starting mvp caliber qb at the end of the season so even though they secured #1 seed and home advantage they were considered DONE! They went on to finish 16-3 while outscoring their opponents 94-50 in their 3 playoff games and won the superbowl while beating the best qb of all time in his prime Tom Brady who had his best game in his career 505 yards 3 TDs 0 INT vs the Eagles and took an L. With the most yards for any QB in any game in NFL playoff history. Eagles are a very slept on team. What they did was a miracle and their team was full of underdogs from the coaches down to the backup qb Nick Foles. To go From a horrible 7-9 season, to then the next season to go have a magical season like that while dominating all year as the #1 seed and to finish the way they did. You couldn't of asked for a better outcome. The 2017 eagles is ONE OF ONE. No team has done what they did ever within one year and had the run against all odds that they did.
