Lol, seriously? Fantasy land is elsewhere. Sam Darnold is not winning us a Super Bowl. Let’s get a grasp on reality again.

The supposition that if we make the playoffs, we lose out on Young is realistic. You saw what it took to get to 1st from 9th, imagine the 2025 1st and multiple other picks to get from 19 to 9. Plus you’d need Chicago to be willing to drop that far which is highly unlikely based on their desire for a top tackle.

I’ve been wanting a top rookie QB since we let Cam go. I’m excited we have one but damn I’d be upset if I knew we let that go just to get beat by Dallas. Young or bust. 
 

You do realize sarcasm, right? The point is that tanking only exists in the minds of desperate people. It does not exist for professionals fighting to keep their jobs. I can play the what-if game on most things. It's not really a productive exercise. Just deal with what is and hope for a better future. That's all you can do when you're really not part of the planning or decision-making.

You do understand that even tanking doesn’t mean you tell players to half ass, right? Tanking is done with personnel, like not signing a medium level FA QB (like Teddy) and letting Clausen or Weinke or Painter get you a top draft pick or it’s done by resting players in week 17/18 to start rookies and as posted above, not get your two starting guards seriously hurt. As has been said many times, tanking is NOT asking players to play poorly.

So it's making poor personnel choices that won't help you win games.

Yeah....that's so much better.

It's not tanking if you call it player development. It just might be crazy enough to work. Especially if you wait until the last few weeks to implement this master plan.

Tanking is a fan thingy.

 

NFL Football is a results driven occupation. You don't get results. You don't get to keep your job.

Bingo.

You do your job poorly, you lose it.

You deliberately do your job poorly, you don't find another job

you think that when they are in tank mode they are spending as much watching film, game planning, designing specialized practices, and otherwise preparing as they would on an expected deep playoff run?

the product on the field is the result of the effort put into preparation, and they are 100% half assing that at all levels when in tank mode. this leads to poor preparation, lack of attention to detail, being out of position, reduced effort, and increasing risk of injury.

This is a major point in this issue. Fans don't have to worry about where that coaches next job will be.

Because we're the most important part of the equation. Nothing and no one else matters. They're all just fantasy players and coaches.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
