The approach to lose the next 34 regular season games to try and improve is inconceivable to me. I can't imagine staying fan if that's the strategy
It is weird....when you start tanking it seems you can't quit losing. I don't think Kwesi and KOC are that type; if you wanted to tank you don't hire those 2 last year.
After a 13-4 year we should have hired Les Steckel back apparently.
I don't get the pro-tanking theory either (which seems new to this board as of this of-season). There's not only the youneverknow factor, but also do you trust this team to pick the right QB? We flail in high pick OLs--Khalil, Bradbury even McKinnie--which should be the easiest position to evaluate: can you pull up trees and get in the way?
You are aware there is a new front office aren't you? Really weird you'd bring up past OL picks from the Spielman era. Of course we don't know much about how Queasy will do with his picks either. Year 1 is at best an incomplete.
If you are good with an occasional playoff appearance with a quick exit, good for you. Some of us want better. The best chance to get to the top is by getting a great young QB. You generally don't get those drafting 23rd. I won't enjoy the experience of being bad, but if we come out stronger for it I'm willing to pay the price. KC isn't a superbowl QB, but he's good enough to win you 7-13 games most years. Just good enough to be stuck in the middle of mediocrity.
That being said, it's pretty clear that the Wilf's are content with being competitive. We'll see if Queasy and KOC are content with that or are brave enough to really blow it up like CHI did.
Hi, Bstinger. I don't know to what extent the front office was changed out. Someone a while back (Bill J?) posted multi year draft and it was horrendous. To me, it showed systemic, entrenched incompetence. Probably an indictment of everything down to the scouting. Don't know how much turnover there was when KAM took over.
His 1st draft was hide-yo-eyes bad, imo, even without the injuries.
We all want better and I agree that basically means drafting a great QB. Chances are better with lower picks, but tanking...? Thanks for the reply.
