There MAY be a rare case where teams will bench some starters at the end of the season for playoff positioning or simply not caring if they win because a spot is locked up and health of stars takes precedence, but in pro sports, I do not believe any team loses on purpose. The 1919 White Sox tried that and it did not end well.
However, these QBs I posted were targeted with high picks and teams invested and lost their futures by investing too much in a QB.

You think you know, but you don't know. Teams won't go out and say they want to lose or tell there players that. And if they did they'd be fined and docked draft picks by Goodell. As a matter of fact, lets pay attention to the Dolphins Bills game later this and see what their records are, if they both have the same losing records, that could be the first game we see were both teams are like "No, you win"
