Also, why wouldn't you want to play backups for the last 2 games if you're out of playoff contention? It's almost like a pre-season game. See what some of these younger dudes have.

I also agree with Bullseye. If you are a young ascending team (Chargers), then maybe those late season wins mean something. However, they fired their coach and are starting over anyway so who cares?

This has nothing to do with a "loser mentality." Having better players gives your team a better chance to win and the best way to acquire these better players is with higher draft picks. Spurs tanked a season and ended up with Duncan.

Not just the few wins at the end of a season, every game. That's how to change the culture. All those top 5 and top 10 picks did us a lot of good didn't it? It's just a loser mentality, some people like to win at everything, some doesn't mind losing. If your GM needs pick 18 instead of pick 20 to pick the right guy you have the wrong GM. So the wins wins late in the season means something for the Chargers but not the other team? Lol, ok

All those top 5-10 picks we had SHOULD have meant the team was better but the GM obviously has to make the right pick. You can't really believe there's no difference between pick 5 and pick 20.

I can see if you have a young ascending team, how wins late in the season could effect culture but it still wouldn't matter to me. Playoffs or bust. Being a middle of the road team gets you no where. I would rather be 3-13 with a top 3 pick than 7-9 with pick 20. Securing better players (given you have a competent GM) gives your team a better chance to win. It's why the draft order is the way it is.....

The wins obviously meant nothing to the Chargers last year because they fired their coach anyway. They won their last 4 games and fired their coach to change the culture.....
