Quote:What if that happens, do you hate the front office for not tanking for the first pick, do you support the team because they found a way to win. Its hard to decide. I said it was possible with the teams we face, if Fisch learns how to call a game and we actually score more then 1 touchdown do the bashers come out and say why woulndt you tank for teddy? 

 

I'd like an explanation of how the front office is expected to "tank" any more than they already are.  What more can they do?  They're already playing a bunch of rookies and their veterens aren't that good.   Do they send Blackmon/Shorts to IR?   Do they trade for Curtis Painter?

 

I do want them to get the 1st overall pick because of the comfort of controlling your own destiny, but it's not that big a deal the more I think of it.  Even if they don't get the #1 pick they can still end up having an excellent draft.  For instance, if they have this secret sleeper quarterback they are targeting and are able to trade down and get him , even maybe outside of the 1st round, while picking up a bunch of extra pieces with extra draft picks, I'm cool with that.
