It's quite simple to understand actually. The team, as it currently is built, is over rated. People say this is a veteran team built to get some wins now, but how good and how deep is this team?
We are one McCoy groin pull away from being a run first team without a runner
Watkins is one boo-boo away from having a peg leg
Dareus is one urine sample away from an extended break
So why not embrace the tank? Look at what the 7-9 average season has gotten us to. A lifetime in purgatory.
If you trust the coach and the new direction, trust them to learn hard lessons this year and then learn from their mistakes.
You guys are going to question not tanking when the Jets flop this year and pick the QB we want higher than us.
People make it seem so easy to trade up with our two first round picks, but that is no guarantee. Why not tank, get the QB on our own and use the other first rounds pick for a new wide receiver or linemen to protect the new asset.
