Cardinals, Cowboys fans most convinced they are smarter than GM, per survey

NFL fans love doing mock drafts, and a healthy number of them are convinced their own evaluation skills are superior to that of their team’s front office.

According to a recent survey from casino.org/us, the majority of fans from all but five teams believe they could construct a roster better than their general manager.

The Cardinals lead the way, with a whopping 79.2% more confident in their abilities than that of GM Monti Ossenfort. There might actually be some validity to that one: Ossenfort has gone 15-36 in his three seasons with the club, and Arizona is projected to be the worst team in the NFL in 2026.

Cowboys fans are second on the list, as they believe Jerry Jones’ decision-making leaves much to be desired. The Raiders are third after a season in which they ended up with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

The defending champion Seahawks have the most trust in their front office, although 37.1% of respondents still feel like they can do a superior job to John Schneider. The 49ers, Broncos, Eagles and Buccaneers were the only other teams in which more than half of the respondents had more confidence in their GM compared to their own skills.
