It all depends on what game you're focused on. Some people get focused on the meaningless game at the end of a losing season, and some people focus on the bigger picture of getting a generational QB talent.

I, for one, was rooting for the Jaguars to get the first overall pick that season even though that meant wanting a bad team to go ahead and lose a couple more games.

The problem with rooting for the number one pick is it's never a sure thing. The past is littered with early draft picks who never measured up. We thankfully got one that worked out. Nevertheless, I won't root for my team to lose even though I was glad it ultimately resulted in us getting Trevor. If you're always focused on the future, unless you're team is winning Superbowls, you're always rooting for them to lose.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
