Quote:Yes. It is worth tanking IF there is someone on the board worth tanking for, otherwise, no. Don't believe me? Just look at the colts and andrew luck. Anyone who thinks they didn't tank some games to assure getting him lives in the land of unicorns and santa claus. Get real... the NFL is about m o n e y! People pay for winners, not losers. Were the Jags winners, Ron Jeremy wouldn't have put in cabanas, swimming pools, and the largest billboard/scoreboards.

 

Having said all that, 'tanking' is an intentional loss. The Jags have, for the most part, not needed to go out of their way to lose, so in many ways this is a needless discussion at this point. There is no one of such a game changing caliber in the up coming draft that would justify doing so anyway. In any case, at this point it appears that the raiders have a lock on the #1 pick unless they miraculously win out the rest of their season. Not likely. We need good, solid linemen, not scrubs, that can be had without the #1 pick. Further, I think that it has been said that Dave is going to use F/A a little bit more this time around to shore things up on the o-line until we can get and develop those quality draft picks. 

 

What the Jags gain by (hopefully) winning a few more games to end the season is a positive for our rookies. Winning tends to bred more winning, or so it is thought. It tends to boost self confidence... a good thing. If nothing else, it's a bone for the fans in what has been a pretty tough season to endure.
