1. tanking is NOT real. Nobody except mental midgets would suggest a player or coach or team would in any way try to lose for one college player.

2. losing out hurts our city, our fans apathy, and our ticket sales.

3. Ticket sales affect our long term prospects of staying in Jacksonville. We are not the Jets or the Cowboys. We need sales NOW to remain stable.

4. Losing creates a national perception our team/city sucks, free agents that could make a difference in the future will avoid the worst team in NFL history.

5 Losing creates an atmosphere and mental mindset of losing. The mental part of the game is more important than the physical. You try to create a winning mindset

 

So even if some nut was crazy enough to tank for one player who is a roll of the dice, the negatives with tanking far outweigh the "maybe"  benefits.

Anyone that cannot see or understand that does not care for the long term health of the Jaguars, and it's need to win now.

And finally, personally, I am not sure I will be alive next year. Anyone else talk to the big man upstairs today and get a guarantee they will be here next year?

I didn't think so. Peronally I enjoy the win in competetive sports now.

There are no guarantees in this life, whether being alive tomorrow or getting the next Manning. 

However it is almost a guarantee that going 2-14 for about three more years just about assures the end result will be a move, TMD doesn't care about that at all.

He would rather have the LA Jaguars and some high draft picks the next three years, and "maybe"  more future wins.( or maybe be the Lions who have had the top picks for 50 years and are no better)

Again, for this city and team right now, there are no meaningless wins, being an outsider TMD cannot understand that and never will apparently.
