Sure, totally fair, but then you seem to be a fan who cares more about entertainment than winning championships, and I can't fault that. But it's been 30 years, I don't care about just having fun in the regular season anymore, I want to win a fuging championship. My two favorite teams that I live and die with are the Panthers and Arizona Basketball. We've never won a SB of course, and I wasn't an Arizona fan growing up and unfortunately went out there for school just after our last Final Four. If you don't count my new Wrexham fandom, my only championships as a fan are the Red Wings and that's been a LONG time. I'm sick of falling short with my teams, I'm done caring about any regular season success with either, I want a SB and I want a Final Four, literally anything short of those at this point are failures in my mind. So for me, yea, I look at EVERYTHING with this team from the lens of "will this help us win a Super Bowl faster or not" And if the answer is that it won't, then I can't get on board with it, sorry if that rubs people the wrong way, I want to win when it matters, not when it doesn't. -
No, not it's not. Because in your other scenario the team won 2 playoff games and played in the conference championship, that's so much better for the team than draft picks. Teams don't luck into that scenario, if that happens, it means Bryce proved himself to be our QB of the future and we likely struck gold with guys like Scourton, Princely, and Ransom which helped turn around the defense into a top half of the league unit. Again, that option isn't even on the table in this discussion here, because no poo, everyone here would take that option. It's would you rather make the playoffs but lose in the first round or just miss the playoffs and get better draft picks AND an easier schedule the next year. I'm literally not even sitting here saying "I'd rather lose and miss the playoffs than make it" as I"m explicitly saying the scenario I'm discussing involves missing the playoffs or losing in the first round.

JFC Why is this concept SOOOOOOOOO hard for some fans to understand. Fans wanting a team to fight hard, get better as players and a franchise, but end up losing games to help draft/schedule in the future...... IS NOT......... Fans wanting the players/team to purposefully try and lose. So all this talk about "players always try to win" or "trying to lose doesn't help the culture" blah blah blah is so badly missing the point that it's borderline scary.
