I may be old school, but that's how I view threads like these.
Get used to it this year with all the injuries . We are gonna lose a lot the rest of the way
Maybe, but Mullens has proven he can win in this league and Shanahan and Saleh have both shown that they can come up with schemes that will help the team when the starters are down. Lord knows they have had enough practice. While I agree that the losses could add up by the end of the year I completely reject the concept of tanking as anything other than a fan based fantasy for people who are hung up on draft position. Lynch has gone on record time and time again stressing the fact that they have built the locker room to be competitive yet supportive. I don't see how he could go into that culture and say, "Oh, remember all that stuff I said earlier, just forget about, we've decided were going to embrace losing for the rest of the year." These players are professionals, they get paid to compete, if not for this team than for the next, to suggest that they do otherwise simply to satisfy the fans' desire for a higher pick is why I agree with LottMontana that these kinds of threads are for losers.
I think some of you guys take things too seriously. Its just a title that I am using. I am in no way shape or form saying we should tank. All I am doing is keeping track of the draft order on a weekly basis so the fans on here can see where we are at.
Yeah you don't like the thought of us losing. Neither do I. Normally I don't care where we draft, but next year is different as it looks like we will need a Franchise QB. We will need to be higher in draft order otherwise we will be having to trade up.
