Quote:Nobody thinks losing is the key to succcess. Just that if you're going to be bad then be really bad so you can have the pick of the litter. What's the point in winning 2 to 4 games especially if you already know the team desperately needs a QB. No I'm not concerned about winning. What is the point especially now?

 

Apparently a lot of people do think losing is the key to future success because we only need to lose more games than the Buccaneers, which does not have to mean 0-16. I have tried again and again to get people to realize that and my words fall on deaf ears. The truth is only two teams in NFL history lost every game, so two wins do not make us losers in the race for #1 unless the Buccaneers also win twice and have an easier schedule.

 

Dakota is obviously wrong about not finding any fans in this thread. Even if he is ignoring me (I ignore him), he knows I am participating in it, and of course I am a real fan.

 

Quote:I have stopped worrying about the Bucs out tanking us. Even if they do, we will get one of the best DE prospects in history as a consolation prize. Not a bad deal. I also take solace in the fact we could find a QB in the 5th who is better than anybody on our roster too.

 

If they get the top pick, Clowney will not be a consolation prize because htey can choose anybody they want. If we get the top pick and select Bridgewater Clowney may be a consolation prize, but they need a quarterback more than a defensive end.
