No you're missing my point which is you don't have to lose ON PURPOSE to get a good player. Play to win and let the chips fall where they may. No need to get rid of the few good players you already have to tank, just keep building your team by drafting well. 

I'd rather pick top 5 than middle 15 any day what's the benefit of winning 2 games against the saints and giants

See my post above. We tankers get all the you aren’t a fan of you want to get a higher draft pick but damn we’ve given up generational talent because of some meaningless wins coupled with even worse drafting/trading of picks.

The “real” fans can’t seem to get that we are two wins in 2019/2020 away from having Herbert throwing to Chase every week and still having CMC and Moore along with the picks we wasted on Corral, Darnold and Young. We’d be a solid playoff team even with Rhule and Fitterer.

question i keep asking everyone...do you tell the players to just not try so hard? Do you tell the coaching staff to throw games by calling bad plays or keeping good players off the field? 

how do you accomplish this?

So you're going to tell Robert Hunt to phone it in against the Giants because you want to be one spot ahead in the lotto ticket line?

Good luck with that.

I'm gonna tell him 2 pointless wins against the saints and tanking giants will bring a winning culture for the next 10 years and 10 years of playoffs

Good luck with... whatever it is.

It's one thing to want the team to get better draft positioning, but it's another to completely disregard reality for the sake of arguing.

I've already explained this. You put the team in a worse position to win as HC or GM. Whether that's putting players on IR who could still play, calling vanilla game plans, or putting in younger guys for PT. Doing it at week 3 is damn near impossible, but if you're 1-11 with 5 games to go and look like ass anyway, yeah, you can mail it in and try to improve/keep your pick. 

Indy did it for Peyton Manning. Ron tried to do it to not go to the playoffs a 2nd time with a losing record. The Jets failed to do it for Trevor Lawrence. It can be done, just not in week 3.

      "Setting the table" for the NFL offseason

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      Ahh okay , thank you! Well, that counts me out as I have no rizz then. Im remarried after divorce to a woman 19 years younger than me who is hot as hell but she is just using me for my good looks, athletically gifted build and larger than normal ding dong so I got lucky there with tricking her but if I ever get divorced im in some trouble finding a new woman since I sure have zero rizz. Back in my day we called it game. I was a gamer but had no game with the ladies even in college dammit.

      Your point about how few of the Top WRs right now that are over 6'1" is EXACTLY why we should be taking him, because he's a different kind of player that other teams just can't replicate. And I don't have all sorts of cut up tape showing his route trees or anything like that of course, and I'm not going to spend an hour watching highlight clips to find specific ones to show you, but just started watching one of his highlight reels and saw a bunch in a row that should help you see that in him. Watch this one and start watching at 1:05 into the clip, there's like 5 or 6 straight plays from that point that help showcase the speed and agility that he has, with him making defenders miss and running away from others.  Again, if I had access to all his routes, you could cut them up in a way that showcases it better, but for just spending 2 minutes looking, this isn't bad lol And this isn't even when you take into account the kind of catches he can make, every week he makes the most absurd one handed and sideline grabs that you'll ever see.

      Yea, you're right.  I think you're definitely bias.   Show me some routes that show his quickness and explosiveness.  Getting open downfield doesn't necessarily mean you're fast, it especially doesn't mean you're quick.   Lots of wide receivers get open deep in college.  I'm not saying not to take him, I'm just saying so far I haven't seen a lot of quickness or full route tree ability that we always ignore.  Most of the best receivers in the modern NFL aren't big bodied receivers.    Of the top 15 or so receivers in the NFL this season i believe maybe 4 are above 6'1.  Quickness/change of direction and route running are much more important in my opinion in the modern NFL than height.  The modern NFL revolves around quick separation, timing, and tax.  Plus we just drafted XL to be a big body guy.
