Quote:I don't agree with "lets lose this year to get a better draft pick so it can make us better" mentality. 

 

Lets not forget the draft is a gamble and there are no guarentees.  There is a long line of players who were "sure fire to be great" that turned out to be bust. 

 

I do not agree with losing to get a better lottery ticket.  This team has to be smart and get good players in the draft and spend some serious money in FA.  Yes there have been teams that have spend wisely in FA and are much better for it.

 

I'd never want to see the team intentionally tank for a draft pick, but when it's as bad as this one is today, I've got no problem with them losing because the silver lining is the potential of getting a top pick in the draft that could be used to potentially fix a major problem on this roster.  Nothing is guaranteed, but the hope is you'll be rewarded for being lousy enough to warrant a top pick in the draft. 

 

Odds are extremely unlikely that you'll land a franchise QB in free agency, so having the better picks to address that issue and the pass rush will certainly help.

 

Tank for Teddy?  I'm not a proponent.  But, as bad as this team is, they won't need to tank anything.  It'll just happen.
