philly did it... turned out well for them

What happened to their coach?  And no, it has not "turned out well for them".  Tanking in the NFL does not work.  Everyone is going full /swoon over Miami's brilliant strategy.  Guess what.  They never tanked.  Once.  Ever.

Not enough to make us lose.  Haskins is terrible.

In my opinion the week we played WFT the writing should have been on the wall for tepper/rhule to see. It was clear even to me, just a fan, that we were in a race with the falcons for a top 5 pick. I KNEW if we won against WFT and falcons continued losing, they would have pick 3 or 4. 

So if I knew, why didn't they? In a draft like this one where there's so many good QBs. Knowing teddy sucks. Knowing Matt ryan is getting older. It was just a foolish move not to find a way to lose that game.

A situation like that calls for PJ walker or Grier to start "to see what we have"... Something. Anything. 

Now the falcons will grab our quarterback with no good QB in sight for us anytime soon. They don't grow on trees folks. We were lucky to even have a chance at any of these lottery guys and we needed to find a way.

in the way they didnt get fined or in trouble for it, and they are picking ahead of us ended up able to parley that pick into more draft picks. worked out well to me.

People remember these tanking maneuvers for like a week or two then everybody doesn't care anymore. It's a goofy narrative to not tank. To tank a whole season? Maybe I could see the argument for why that's dumb. Tanking ONE game that could decide your franchises entire future? Yeah, you find a way to do that.

I'm tempted to make a new thread asking this but I'll restrain and just ask you, how would you feel if all the QBs were taken and we picked Patrick surtain and doubled down and sent our 2nd for JC jackson? I know, sounds crazy but if we don't get a QB I think I'd rather just go all out to repair the defense

Miami started the season 0-7.  You are right.

They ended the season 5-4. 

Where do you see them tanking?  I swear.  At least pretend to glance at football records or something.

Twice last season this happened for two different teams.  Where a team tanked a single game.

The people responsible never coached another game.

Jets DC after looking like he intentionally went to lose the game vs Raiders at the last second.

Eagles HC.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
