Suck for Luck

[Mike]

A few years ago, I asked a simple question:
"Would you suck for Luck?"

= As a fan were you in favor of intentionally tanking the season for Luck, a QB that has been one of 3 greatest QB prospects of last 30 years! (The others: Elway, P. Manning)

=> Most of you said
- 'Hell No'
- 'we have too much pride'
- 'there are no guarantees'


With the newfound benefit of hindsight and Knowing what you know now,
"Would you suck for the Next Luck?"

Every decade or so a great prospects emerges. The Colts have been luckily enough to draft the last 2!

In a 30 year span, from 1998 to 2028, I predict they will only have a couple of loosing seasons! As a result of their QB selections, they have been winningest team since 99 season.

So was I.

The Sabres seem to have adopted this strategy.

Re: Suck for Luck

The smoking gun. Irsey paid off Snyder to have his team injure Peyton so the Colts could draft Luck.

Unfortunately the Bills got off to a mirage like 3-0 start in 2011 and fell behind in the "Suck for Luck Sweepstakes"

Re: Suck for Luck

The Bills brain trust has been brilliant in its team building approach, when you think about it. Buddy ignored the QB position all together, selling the fans on Chan's offensive genius. That approach enabled him to use the built in excuse of needing a QB as a basis for justifying the teams struggles. Then, in a true stroke of luck allowed the team to couple (a) its offensive ineptitude over a prolonged period of time utilizing a journeyman QB with (b) the organizations own public embarassment in allowing a couple of pea brained fans to record a conversation with another GM where Buddy admitted the team needed a new QB. Talk about a windfall! The Bills HAD to draft a QB in a year with marignal prospects. Then they have been able to obfuscate who actually decided EJ was the pick (was it Buddy or Whaley? No on knows!) to give Whaley a few additional years of job security by being able to blame his septagenarian rookie GM predecessor.

The team also saved a bundle of cash on relocation fees for its coaching staff by hiring the closet possible candidate. Oh, and Whaley can blame Marrone on Buddy too. The blood pack Whaley has with Brandon was full proof (I hear Buddy got a few real nice fishing lures and blanket out of the deal too, so don't think he was taken advantage of) until Ralph passed, opening the door to outside critical thinking for the first time ages.

So it's safe to say we suck at sucking. Same ol' Bills.

Re: Suck for Luck

the 2nd and 3rd game of that season(Raiders and Patriots) were the most exciting exhilarating back to back games of the last 15 years. So ****ing sad and comical those 2 games are the best I can come up with the last 15 years not one friggen playoff game
