How do you walk into a locker room of 50 something men and tell them "alright guys... we're on a pretty good losing streak. We're tanking the season. We're gonna be good, but not good enough. Many of you will lose your jobs over this, including myself and some other coaches. There is no guarantee that you will have a job anywhere next season. But we've got to do this. For Bobby. For Teddy. For the future of other people. We can't be selfish here. We have to tank for Teddy."

 

Furthermore, IF something as ridiculous as that were to happen, how is that after Kubiak is fired he doesn't blow the whistle? "Bob told me we had to lose, we needed Teddy" How do players not come forward and say "these guys actually WANT us to play poorly to get a better QB"

 

How do QBs like Keenum, Yates, and Schaub, all of whom could be unemployed next season or back ups at best NOT play their very hardest and best? To allow another player to be drafted and surely take their job?

 

I suppose these men, including McNair himself, have no sense of pride?

Brilliant TMD.
