Yeah, I wrote them in no particular order. As for Wilson, I agree he did have the worst record, however this was an expansion team. Back then it was much more difficult to get the team going. See the Saints, Falcons and how long it took them to get a winning record (or the Bucs). The Panthers and Jags were very lucky when they formed. With that being said, I give Wilson a pass.
