Should we "Tank" the season for the 1st draftpick

Browns have to go qb

They could move up from their second first rounder to get him...but seems more wise to go QB first of their choice then go bpa.

The good news is that whomever the Browns choose at QB, it improves our odds greatly that we'll get the better of the two QB's.

Lol.

I think they go Garrett and move up with their other first for whoever is left. I'd probs do the same if the QB race is too close so you pass first pick.
Any suggestions on how we could tank? How we could possibly get worse?

No one is Tanking the game. Why would they want to give someone their livelihood? The truth is they are not very good NFL players. Combined with other poor skilled players the result will be a high draft pick.

In addition to not having very good players, we don't have very good coaches, nor GM, nor owner.
We should just do what comes natural to this team and get a really high pick as a result.......

Thats my point, we could not be worse if we tried! We don't need to tank, we stink! With no end in sight, O'neil will continue to put this team in a hole every week! Forcing us to press on offense, causing mistakes, and feeding the death spiral.

You mean, "Should we "Carradine" the season for the 1st draftpick?"

That can be under cover tanking doe if people are placed in positions not to succeed.

...nor stadium, nor (and let's be honest about it) fan base.

We do have history. That's about it.

If we keep any of the scrubs they better be 2nd or 3rd string. There is a good chance we pay pull some upsets but I hope they don't think that the season is salvaged because of it.
no
You should never tank a season...especially as young as our players are
Once you start giving up it's hard to break the habit...even if we suck we still need our players fighting til the final whistle
Unfortunately us fans don't have a say, this team is tanking whether we want them to or not. To make matters worse, a high draft pick won't matter much if Baalke is selecting. He'll probably trade down for more pics that he can squander. I won't mention the obvious, "cough, ACL, cough"

This team is the most depleted of talent since Terry Donahue gutted the team in 2004. Back then I thought Donahue was the worst GM ever, but Baalke has proven me wrong in the worst way.

The most common denominator is the Yorks... Dr. York floundered when he chose Donahue over Mariucci after a power struggle, but he admitted his mistake when he fired both Donahue and Dennis Erickson two years later. Jed started out ok, but has made the same type of mistakes his father made, but is much slower to admit his failings. Jed is obviously not a student of history as he has made the same mistakes over and over. The real problem is the York family, they don't know what they don't know, and keep screwing it up. They need to do what Mark Davis did, admit you don't know anything about football and hire people that do and just keep your mouth shut and stay out of the way.

Or please, just sell the team.
