You just put out inferior players. The players and coaches still play to win but they’re just not as talented. Sixers did it for years. Fins did it last season and ended up winning a couple games at the end costing them their #1 pick.

Also, a real shot at the division?! Dude. They’re by far the least talented team in the division with the worst QB in the division. Minshew may end up being good but at this moment, he’s the 4th best QB in the division. That doesn’t scream division winner.
Then thats not tanking, its just not being good enough.
Well that’s because if you came right out and said you’re tanking, the league would have issue with it. 

Getting rid of your best players, obtaining future draft picks and playing inferior players is essentially tanking. Even if you don’t hang a banner that says “hey guys. We are tanking!”

I'd be okay with keeping him around next season.

Marrone, I have no idea what to think. I still say it was he, not the refs, who cost us a chance to go to the Super Bowl against the Patriots.
Let someone else make the first round pick and let Caldwell handle the rest.

Joeckel, Bortles, Fowler, Fournette.... top 5 picks.
