Quote:1. When did it start for you? Was it at 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, etc? Just curious.

 

2. Will it be and has it always been this way for you all along?

 

3. If we get Bridgewater and we go 0-2 or up to 0-6 next year are any wins after "meaningless"?

 

4. How many wins do we have to have out of the first six games to make any after worthwhile and not tank again?

 

 

 

Edit to clearly define seperate questions.

 

1. 0-1

 

2.  It has not always been this way.  But that Kansas City game was just further evidence that Gabbert is a colossal bust and wont amount to much in the NFL. I'm not a fan of tanking in general, but I'm not going to even lie -- I want this team to finally nab a franchise signal caller.  I'm tired of watching all the three-and-outs.  I'm tired of the sacks.  I'm tired of the checkdowns.  I want some legit talent at that position.  If we have to have this one last season of suckage in order to get 10-15 years of quality QB play, then it's worth it.

 

3. I find it very hard to believe we'd be 0-6 with Bridgewater at helm, especially when he has weapons like Blackmon, Shorts, and even Ace.  We'll probably grab a tight end in the draft too.  But in a scenario where we are 0-6 with Teddy, I would NOT be for tanking.  We have our franchise QB and we need him to succeed.  Now if it's his third year and has not improved much (a la Gabbert) then I'd be for tanking again.  But I cannot stress how great of a QB I think Bridgewater will be.  He's going to be a good one.

 

4.  In a situation where we lack a franchise QB, I don't think there's a set win-loss record to go by -- rather, do the eye test. 

 

 

By the way, by no means do I think this team is tanking right now.  We just really, really suck.
