Yeah? Why not

It’s a baseball town. They don’t support football well enough.

  Several decades of Bill Bidwell Sr run teams will do that to a town.  So on a day to give thanks we could have done worse than Ralph Wilson in terms of owning a NFL team.  Actually, when you survey the landscape Ralph was closer to being a middle of the pack owner versus a perpetual basement dweller away from the field.  Anyways, on this day I give thanks that Ralph placed an AFL franchise that became an NFL franchise in Buffalo.  That we have names that we can say with reverence such as Saban, Knox, Levy, Kemp, Ferguson, Kelly, Sestak, Smith, and down the line.  That we have a team that if an NFL committee was looking at expansion sites in 2021 Buffalo would not even get a moment's thought.  All in all a day for Bills fans to be thankful.

They already lost two teams, seems they didn't support the ones they had before

It's a front running town.  They don't support anything that isn't winning.

The only true LA NFL team with fans is the Raiders. Chargers could barely fill their stadium when they were in San Diego, and the Rams are what Angelinos watch when the Lakers, Dodgers and Angels aren't playing. Otherwise it's a giant melting pot of people who prefer other teams.

I realize that. Point stands though. They had the Raiders and lost them ( I will concede that is most likely caused more by Davis than lack of support.)

 This is the Rams second stint there. Chargers only moved because they didn't get San Diego to pay for a new stadium. The NFL most likely made them move to LA because of the market size

he's a high volume RB that gets hit a ton.

why spending high draft capital and big money on a RB is not the best team building plan

Oh boy. The Jets will have some high draft picks in 2022.

Giving the Jets a high draft pick is like giving me a vintage Shelby Mustang. They're both better served in someone else's hands.
