That has got to be the dumbest thing ever written on the Warpath.
If that were true, he would have just ridden Beck, the weaker of the two, rather than flip-flopping. There also are many other moves that he would not have made.
But that's not the strongest argument against your idiotic perspective. To wit:
To tank is to be intentionally uncompetitive. Such is against Shanahan's nature. Shanahan is inherently competitive.
Moreover, to tank is to take the coward's way out. And Shanahan is no coward.
Also, your point of view essentially accuses Shanahan of being incompetent, since he is paid to win each and every game. Plus it means that he is an incompetent tanker, since we ended up with the #6 pick, not higher.
So cite your sources which say otherwise.
What else do you expect from a Cowboys fan.
in fairness we all have said tank for picks at some point or another
NO...."we" did not.

There's a lot of redskins nation that knew the best way to get Luck was to suck. Not all of redskins nation is on the warpath (sadly).

1. It's a theory. There have been other fans, media, and other various outlets with this theory. No one has proof, and no one will get that proof, because shanahan is no idiot that would say now, or ever in his NFL coaching tenure that he was trying to tank a season.
2. Have you seen the movie/play the producers? Think of Shanahan as the director and beck and grossman as Max and Leo. It backfired on shanahan and became a lot more successful than he thought. Just like the play the producers.
3. You have heard dumber statements on this site but you choose to go after me because I know how to push your buttons

Shanahan was trying to tank the season/suck for luck without saying it like others were saying. He was doing it by starting Beck and Grossman.
And no I am not valley ranch girl. Only one name my whole 5 ish years here.
Goat-ish

You went through the trouble to stalk me on the internet yet it is you who push my buttons? :laughing2 BTW lawyer up, law enforcement may be visiting you.
You are going to quote a movie rather than recognize that Shanahan is in no way a cowardly, incompetent tanker? :doh:
I went after your statement because I have not heard dumber things on the Warpath. To think that an NFL coach of Shanahan's caliber and experience would tank is just idiotic.
The idea that the tooth fairy is real is a theory, too, and has a better chance of being real than the idea that Shanahan is so uncompetitive that he would tank.

shannahan - "The guy who once played a football game with a ruptured kidney and didn't go to the hospital until he filled a sink with vomit three times and urinated bright red blood."
The idea that he's a guy that'd just say f it and toss games is ridiculous.
