Quote:to get the 1st overall pick.


Any way you slice it, its still better than having a few extra meaningless wins and having a draft pick from 3-9 area.


They can still get a windfall in a trade if they choose to go that route too.

What do you mean by "windfall"? Anyway, the point of tanking the way the tankers on this board stated it was to set your team up for the next decade plus by getting a once in a generation QB prospect the way some are convinced the Clots did for Luck. Now is it that the first overall pick is worth tanking for any and every year because you might get something for trading it. If that is the case, why would a new coaching staff and GM tank in the first season? Why not try to win now. Then tank once you're on you're way out and have that huge pay day coming for tanking if the whole winning thing doesn't work out?
