Why will they not Tank

[DesertFox24]

Seriously why not tank and get a top 3 pick in the draft. Then we could use the other 5 picks to hopefully get 2 starters.

This stupid notion that we can be a competitive team when a new coaching staff and new defense is laughable, plus the division we are in it is impossible to win (unless Brady gets hurt/retires).

Now we will finish 6-10 or 7-9 pick between 8 and 14th in the draft and have to use all these picks to get the QB.

I would personally let Tyrod play 6-8 games if we are not in the division race at that time, cut him and let Peterman play.

Exactly. If Peterman pulls a Dak, then our picks can go towards missing pieces. Odds are very high we will suck, so let's just go there early.

How do the logistics of a tank work? Who's in on the tank? The players?

Re: Why will they not Tank

You just dump assets. You don't convince Kyle Williams to come back. You don't sign Hyde and Poyer. I didn't realize we were in trouble until the Sammy Trade. Now we're firmly positioned for a 6-10 type season.

3-13.

Dump Dareus just for a draft pick or two.

Trade Shady for a 1st round or high 2nd round pick.

Is Incognito worth anything?

Re: Why will they not Tank

The NFL isn't like the NBA, where any draft pick outside of the top 15 is historically worthless, plus picking a QB is a crapshoot anyway.

If they "tank" and unload all assets, what happens when the new QB gets here? He has no help at all and gets his head kicked in and career ruined a la David Carr and Tim Couch?

We are not suggesting unloading all assets.

Just those assets that will not be key assets when we are contenders in 2019 or beyond.

Shady will not be an asset then.

Nor will Dareus.

Incognito will be leading rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia by then.

Does another 6 or 7 win season really stroke your ego?

Not me....Give me a 2017 3-13 season and I will be happy.

You trade back up to 3rd spot, take the guy you wanted anyways and get that team's 1st next year - 1st / 2nd / 3rd this year, loading the team up with young talent. Bruce Smith got here with a first pick and Jimbo showed up after, so you can get some major talent early on. You can also argue that the early pick might bomb (our Mike Willams) but typically you'd get a very talented guy. Someone is going to really crank and rocket to the top of the draft, hopefully we are ready.

Dareus has been a good guy this offseason so far, so discounting his future worth is foolish right now.

Sounds good. Which GM is on crack?

Is Incognito worth anything?

if you find the GM on crack anything's possible

If someone wants to take on that contract and give us a 2nd I'll drive him to the airport and we can smoke a blunt on the way

Dareus will NEVER play to that level of contract and in 2019 we will be just another overweight DT.

So then we can't tank this year.

And we were a 6-10 team before the trades.

lol at the thought of being contenders in 2019, especially with the tear down you're envisioning.

2022 or beyond...and that's if everything goes right.

Considering we've hired a GM with minimal talent evaluation experience...and 0 experience in team building, there's going to be lots more misses than there are hits.

Being anywhere close to playoff caliber within 3 years, I'd put at less than 10%.
