This Just In---Andrew Luck To Stay At Stanford

I really hope we don't have to hear this junk all season. NFL teams don't tank seasons. It's just absurd.

I absolutely agree. But if we're going to miss the playoffs (which I'd say is a strong possibility), I'd rather it be with a 2-14 or 3-13 record and the #1 overall pick to land Luck than 6-10 or 7-9 and end up in the 12-15 range. I'm not saying I want us to mail it in, nor do I think we or any other team would. But no playoffs is no playoffs. I'd prefer the #1 pick to be our consolation prize.

Would you make your own Luck? - SportsNation - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post/_/id/6742579/would-make-your-own-luck)

Looks like I'm in the greater half of skins fans that want us to 'lose for luck'

Go root for an NBA team if you want to tank Cowboys fan.

Players will not tank because they want either a roster spot, a payday, or both.
Coaches won't tank because their jobs are on the freaking line.
Only GMs can deliberately weaken their team to the point of suckage, and even then, tanking is INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT because the players and coaches will always want to win.

IF we're going to talk about the presumed 2012 draft, let's not talk about tanking, let's talk about what Danny & Bruce have up their sleeve to land one of the QBs. It's way too early to talk about that, but come draft time next year I'm sure they will be on the phones looking into everything. I have confidence in Bruce Allen that he could pull off a crazy deal to move up if anybody can.

The "Suck to get Luck" strategy is for moonbats and fruitcakes.
Probably the same people that think Sept. 11 was an inside job.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ON THIS SITE.

Skin fans think that when I say tank the season they think I mean lose like the Lions of '08.

NO!

I'm saying we're not a playoff caliber team, so why finish 6-10 with a losing record and not getting a good player than a losing record with a great player.

This guy knows what I'm talking about!

Don't even compare that to football

Real mature with the cowboys fan thing. And the NBA is trash (except for the playoffs). NFL and Redskins all day.
