Quote:Wins are never meaningless.   Wins mean  something.  

 

Wins and losses are a measure of where you stand.   If you are 5-11, you are a better team than if you are 1-15.    So, better team, worse draft position or worse team, better draft position.   I will take the better team and worse draft position.    5-11 would mean we are closer to contention than if we are 1-15. 

 

So wins are not meaningless.   They do mean something.   They mean you are better than if you lost. 

 

The above is so simple minded though. 

 

Because it fails to acknowledge that going 1-15 is more beneficial to a team than finishing say 5-11 in a year when a QB like Teddy Bridgewater is sitting at the top of the draft. 

 

Its funny because the same people were pretty much using the same comebacks as the Jags won their way out of the Andrew Luck sweepstakes heading down the stretch of the 2011 season.
