I want no part of being a loser. If loser is not a dirty word to you. You will always be one.

Where have you been the past 5 years?

As for the players I hope they play their best because next season isn't guaranteed for them....as for me as a fan and looking for the future, I want the top pick...moral victories don't do a damn thing for me....

A team either needs to be good or be bad. The worst a team can do is be marginally bad. It robs the team of higher draft picks which robs the team of better talent. So you are always stuck in purgatory. This especially hurts when you dont have a franchise QB.

*Team has 3 straight 5 win seasons*
*Team on way to another losing season*
*Fan doesnt want to be part of a loser*

"tankers" are miserable people.....  calling yourself a fan and hoping for your team to lose... over and over again, year after year, is pretty sad. 

That is very untrue. Be better.

Purposely losing is a bad idea.

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

Corral is and alway will be a long shot. Personally I wasn’t that a fan of us drafting him.

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…

A hurt undersized 3rd round developmental qb.  Doesnt sound like a plan for success does it?

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.

Can’t wait to trade for Carson Wentz next year, win 5 games, then trade for Davis Mills. Well gosh guys, winning a few football games every year sure is fun and we are winners for doing so.

That looked worse than any other rookie in preseason…

Mills looked good yesterday to be honest
