Herm Edwards had it right.

So you would rather a win against the Bears this week than multiple possible SB's and the best QB prospect since Peyton Manning?  I dont think anyone is saying the players should try to lose just as a fan this is a possibly a one in a lifetime opportunity for us and we need these next 2 losses to get one of the All time great QB prospects.

I'm saying that I grew up playing competitive sports since I was in grade school.  I was taught never to give up and no matter what always try to win.  I would like to think that the professional players and coaches on this team have the same mentality, no matter the record and they make every effort to win.

As I said before, Herm Edwards had it right.  If the game "just doesn't matter anymore" because of the record, it's time to leave the sport.  That goes for players and coaches.

A perceived "best QB prospect since Peyton Manning" doesn't mean "multiple SB wins".  For all we know Trevor Lawrence could be just another "Johnny Football".
