We're still going to have a very high pick (unless Shough goes on a tear) and we don't have to be the #1 pick to find a serious game changer.

Even if we thought Shough wasn't the guy, the consensus is there isn't a QB who is obviously;y worth the #1 overall so... enjoy it, I guess?

Also, there is already enough rigging going on in professional sports all across the board. The last thing leagues need are teams purposely trying to lose.

All of the “tanking for higher draft picks” talk is 99.9% fan fiction talk. Professional organizations don’t operate like that.

You really think a team is going to go out there and lose on purpose, especially football?

1) Football is a game where you have to give max effort or you can get hurt. Seriously hurt, such as, a broke neck or spinal injuries.

2) Young players are playing to keep a job and a paycheck.

3) I could go on, if you’re just an idiot.

Trade the 1st and whatever else to bring Garrett Wilson over here. I would like to speak that into existence.


Not happening. Jets said he was untouchable when they had their fire sale earlier.

Frick off.
That is a great win that our young guys needed to go get.
Division game, in December, in the rain against a more skilled team.

Give Shough another year already and draft him some weapons and lets see what he can do.

You have no clue how to build a team. We’re already in year 1 of a rebuild with our future QB already

You don’t tank. You build on pieces while still getting a top 10 pick.

You’re a fricking idiot without a clue.

Loser mentality like the Brown and Jags every year does nothing. You win when you can and build around the current talent. Get bent. Pussy boy.

The Cleveland Brown/ Jacksonville Jaguar mentality is a losers way of approaching things. Winning is contagious and so is losing.
