Quote:We're basically doing what the Philadelphia 76ers are doing in the NBA. I don't see how intentionally sucking and hoping it pays off in a year or two is a good model to implement. Too expensive to tell the customers "are you ready for more" and support something like this.

Basically this.  I don't see how you tell veteran players on your team to go out and intentionally suck for some rookie.  These guys have a limited window of opportunity to do something great.  I think you want to win every time you step on the field.  Playing to win the draft isn't going to get any team very far.  I'll admit that it's tough to watch right now, but it will get better.  Eventually.
