If we're trying to make a playoffs/sb run, not "tank for Trevor*",which of these guys are you most confident in as a full-time starter?

I'll stand by my repeated point this team doesn't know what "win now" means.

don't be disappointed with yet another anticlimactic finish.

Only a fucking idiot advocates tanking for a draft choice. Do you think the players give a shit about a pimply faced 22 year old and the fact that they would waste a year of their livews and risk their livelyhoods and contract to tank?

Losing only engenders losing

It betrays the confidence of every person in the organization

You are a fucking moron

I shouldn't have put that tank qualifier. There's a gulf between suckage and holding Lombardi trophy.

We rarely would make the same point in the same way, but it couldn't be stated better.

I despise the very idea of tanking. You play without honor and respect for your colors and the spirit of the game. Shameful.
Put simply, losers lose, winners win. Winners that lose on purpose are biggest losers of them all.

Why would I watch a game that we're trying to lose? I'll turn the TV off before the end of the national anthem if that were to happen to us.

Tanking is a joke unless your team is in shambles. Only half of the Bears is defunct. Dolphins tried tanking, traded away half their offense and still outperformed Nagy's offense, failing to get the first pick.

Tank for a QB. Then wait 2 years till he’s matured. Then try and make a run. Then realize, shit the defense got old. Then rebuild the defense. Etc etc etc

Any example of a team winning a SB shortly after tanking?Jjust asking, my memory is not what it used to be...

The Dolphins essentially tried to tank for Tua, and he got injured and they didn't get the first pick...lol.

We're definitely not tanking. Pace's job is on the line this season. With that said my order of confidence goes:

1. Graham-I don't think he'll be ask to do much more than convert on 3rd down and be a big red zone target
2. Ifedi-Talented former 1st rounder that should be better than whoever else we have at RG
3. Tolliver
4. Bush-Tough call between him and Tolliver. Really a toss up
5. Wims

My list:
1. Ifedi
2. Wims (not as a #1 and maybe not as a #2)
3. Tolliver
4. Bush
5. Graham

I actually would prefer Justin Fields over Trevor "Sunshine" Lawrence.
