Quote:Let me pose a direct question to you, TMD.

 

What did you want this team to do?  Sabotage the season, apparently.  But I want to know HOW.

 

Who would you have started instead of who? 

 

What kind of message does it send to start a Reynolds instead of Poz for example?

 

What kind of message does it send to start Denard Robinson ahead of MJD or Todman?

 

I would love to know HOW you would have tanked to assure the top pick.  Give me specific examples, keeping in mind that Bradley is coaching for his job, his livelihood, and to improve his team.

 

I'm sick of you just complaining. Tell us exactly how you would have achieved all the losses.

 

If you're winning by a TD, would you have pulled the starters?  Would you have played schemes you know your players can't play well?  Would you put Poz at CB and Gratz at MLB?  Give me specific examples how you would have tanked.

 

Dude, its a lot easier than you think to get the desired outcome i,e, losses to tank a season....In both the Colts and Texans cases it was done by horrible QB play. The Texans even stayed with an obviously inferior Keenum despite Schaub being the better chance for wins - we saw that in the Jags game when Schaub almost led a come from behind win. Then the next week they went right back to Keenum. They knew what they were doing. McNair at that point was full speed ahead for the #1 overall and wanted nothing to disrupt that. 

 

The Colts did the same thing, but from the outset in 2011. They didn't even try to get a legit QB on that roster, despite knowing Peyton would likely not be available. 

 

The Jags might have attained the top pick, had they merely started Gabbert all season.
