We did tank.  At the point we traded away CMC and chose a replacement HC  who had successfully tanked before,  the FO was trying to tank.  Wilkes as much said so, even though he qualified that statement later. 

If we had chosen Tabor who wasn't suing the NFL for being undermined, I think we could have traded away more assets for more picks,  which would have given us more 1st round picks and and a higher draft spot, so we could have spent fewer picks to move up.   

The coaches and players cannot/will not lose games on purpose.

We are where we are.  If Young translates, no one will care.

No one tried to tank like the Colts and they ended up with Anthony Richardson. I think they are counting on another really bad year.

Yeah this thread is going nowhere good.

The whole concept is stupid.

I mean what's the point of it? "Don't you dare root for the team to win because we might and we get a worse pick?" That's not exactly how that works.  I mean if we embrace the suck and, as a fambase, actually WANT to lose for the good of the franchise long term, do you actually think that will affect the outcome?

Or is it that you want the franchise to purposely tank? You want the coaching staff to encourage the players to throw games? You know that might be a bit stupid because there's kind of repercussions to that kind of thing.

Plus people would be losing jobs.

Sorry... The whole thing just stinks of narrow-mindedness.

Pretty much

While I don’t personally feel this way, I fully understand the rationale and logic of a fan wanting a bad to mediocre team to lose in hopes of improving draft position.  
 

What I will never understand is the animosity towards the coaches or a team because they win a game.  Outside of illegal betting, collusion, or similar malfeasance, there is no incentive for a player or coach to purposefully lose. That said, the reason why grown ass adults get pissed at other grown ass adults simply because they try to do their job befuddles me.

I'm curious, how many wins did we have with and without CMC?  No running back is going to be the big difference between a winning season and a losing one

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
