If a team in theory were to make a leap, a team with more talent then their bottom finish the year before, in a division that doesn't seem "unwinnable" as other divisions, is an easy choice for a top 5 list of Worst to First candidates. For what it matters, I still see it as between Jacksonville and Houston. I see Tennessee as third at highest. But it wouldn't shock me to see them second or first. Callahan as their HC makes it hard to tell what fans will be getting.

Yeah I don't see the Cardinals so its a good thing you kept outta top 5. You'd have to assume the 49ers take a major step back at a conference level due to SB hangover, the Rams wouldn't be competitive post Donald, and that Seattle will miss Pete Carroll and that Mike MacDonald isn't the answer (that in spite of their D troubles was still a 9-8 squad) to fix this D. I can imagine 1 or 2 of those at most and yes I'm being fair and including my Seahawks. The Cardinals leapfrogging all 3 seems like you're hoping for a disaster scenario. I respect what Gannon did but that also comes with the caveat that that Cardinals team is not a talented one. I still see them a year away, even if they do move up the wins standings, I can't see top of the always competitive NFC West. Can't see it.

[@jeremiahw1369]
