For the Anti-Tankers: Can you provide a legitimate reason that this team should not have tanked last year?

Flores was fired, thus his lawsuit, so again any smart coach has no incentive to lose games. 

When you ultimately get fired for losing games. 

Hard to justify firing a winning coach. And likewise much more easier to get another job.

hahahaha people still using this article about a failed lawsuit from a disgruntled coach who was simply an awful coach and tried to use this as an excuse to why he was so awful.

"they told me to lose!!!"

tanking is the biggest myth in sports and the only people who believe it also believe the WWE is still real.

He wasn’t the only one apparently. If you were wining you wouldn’t tank. If the season is clearly lost or you are out of the playoff hunt, that’s when you make weird decisions like the Eagles did that got Peterson fired a few years ago.

Remember when the Eagles benched their QB to see what they had in a third stringer? And the players spoke out against it after the game? And the coach got fired after that? That’s tanking.

which year are you referring to? that is not tanking. evaluating other players is not tanking. get a grip.

    • I feel largely the same way I did entering last year.  What we are attempting to be on O.....doesn't matchup with Bryce Young.   Scheme nor talent.  I think Canales would pair much better with a young Jake Delhomme.  And Johnson and XL would be great additions for a young Jake Delhomme.  It would be fun.  Bryce is going to make this OL look worse.  He is too small to be in a traditional pocket/scheme at this level.   Bryce Young needs an innovative/Bryce Young centric O scheme to succeed with a bunch of quick YAC check down talent.  That's not Canales. 
    • BIG fan of the pylon and line marker camera technology that's come along in recent years.  It's definitely helped a lot for replays    
    • Yeah, I'm serious. You take all of the first year jitters any rookie QB starting will face. Then you put him behind an inept line, give him a group of WRs that features a 32-33 year old slot receiver as their only reliable guy and use him as WR1, no TEs to speak of, pay big bucks for an undersized and over-touted RB that isn't out competing practice squad players AND THEN pair it up with a dysfunctional owner/HC/OC combo that keeps running the same play concept again and again and again. (And coaches that were already at each other's backs with daggers don't develop young QBs... heck it's the hardest skill ever for any HC.. Jon Gruden never could do it and there's a case to be made that Belichick never did it (the QB developing the coach possibly there)). Yeah, he was bad, legendarily bad, but he was in possibly the worst environment imaginable for a rookie QB. You can take away some mechanics issues that should have been worked on and still need to be worked on, but everything else was tainted by that environment.  I wasn't impressed by him in the least for anything except for his character and willingness to go back out there and just get killed again and again. At least he wasn't running away on every play, little girly screams lifting to the cheap seats, like Pickles was.  Will he be good this year? Honestly, the odds are stacked against him. They are on every young QB in the league, and he had more piled against him. Maybe Canales can fix him and the team. I sure hope so. If not, it's back to the drawing board and we'll have wasted two seasons. I really don't want that to happen.
