So you are arguing that last year Jags made a mistake going 1-15 instead of say 3-13?

That press conference was after his 10-6 team started 2-5 the next year. After that PC, they still made the playoffs and won a WC game.

If you legitimately believe Minshew could win 4-6 games to get them into the playoff race after a T-Law injury, then he makes sense. If not, he would not as helpful as you make out.

No.  I am arguing that your point of winning games is "meaningless" is stupid.  Professional athletes play the game to win... period.  It doesn't matter what the record of the team is.  Every time they take the field to play a game it's to win.  That should always be the goal.  As a fan I expect that regardless of the record or what players might be injured.  The goal of playing the game should always be to win.  If they (the players) don't think it matters, then they need to get out of the sport.  That's what Herm Edwards was saying and it certainly applies.

That's why I used to get infuriated with "fans" of the team hoping they would "lose out" towards the end of last season in order to get the #1 pick.  A true professional athlete never plays to lose and if they do they are not professional.

Always play to win no matter what.  That's what I expect.
