FMIA: Tanking shouldn’t be a dirty word

Didn’t we draft a QB this year? Or is he just yesterdays news?

You talking about the one we drafted in the sane round we took Grier several seasons ago? You want to ignore a first round QB and bank on that? Sounds a little risky to me…

I think if you are asking people to intentionally lose… how would that site with the gambling world and authorities?

You are asking people to put their careers at risk, do you really think any player or coach you want to keep will believe in you any more? I’d assume they are much more likely to flip to looking out for themselves.

Tanking is a dirty word because it implies you are intentionally scheming on game day to lose.

Whereas Increasing your draft return by trading away prized assets is not directly causing you to lose. Especially if you have a great core of youth you want to improve via training and instilling the right attitudes and mindsets for the future.

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
