Don't really care either way. If I had to weigh in I would vote for whomever made the program worse. -

The unbelievable irony of the forum's biggest bandwagoner trying to throw down the gauntlet of closing the door for bandwagoners to hop on. That's amazing stuff. -
So don't look at it as hoping your team will lose, look at it as hoping your team can add an elite difference maker in the draft, because that's what you're really hoping for and in reality, that's what you're rooting for. Would people have rather won an extra couple of games back in 2010 at the expense of being in position to draft Cam? Or how about the next year when we got Kuechly? If we won an extra game or two that previous year, we'd have likely missed out on him in that draft too. Again, we're not one or two players away from contending next year. We're not already sitting in that 10ish pick range where there might not be a big difference if we fall back a couple extra picks. If we were those things, then yes, you want the team to win to help them build upon next season. As I said earlier, it's like the Lions of 2 years ago, they were only a couple pieces away from having a really competitive team, they won a bunch of late games to build their momentum and turned that into an NFCCS appearance last year and are now the best team in the NFC. That's not us right now, we're more like the Lions of Campbell's first season where they ended up with the 2nd pick in the draft and took Hutchinson. Once you're sitting in that Top 5 of the draft and still have as many holes as we do, meaningless wins only hurt the franchise overall in the long term. Winning at this point is cutting off our nose to spite our face.
