If you can, how did it work out for that team? Was there an Epic Dynasty that I missed out on where a team used that strategy?

Teams aren't going to publicly address to the media "We the ___, plan to loose out this season in hopes of getting this player" Loosing out would be playing players that you know aren't good against there matchups and taking out reasonable/winning starters, for unprovens/rookies. It would be like Shanahan saying John Beck go play 16 games you could be that great player for us. Oh wait thats right! Shanahan is doing this already! Internally though he and BA and the coaches are like "We don't have a chance with Luck" and you all are probably going to say well Shanahan will be fired by Snyder if he does this. Wrong! Snyder is in love with Luck because he thinks he'll be the franchise savior, and will bring snyder what he wants most, more fans and more $$$$$$!

So I guess we shouldn't expect to see you posting here during game days, right? I mean what's the point if we are tanking?

No I'll be with you all during the frustrating and non-frustrating skins times. You all need to understand, I want us to do this so we get a great player that we need so that in the future those loosing days will be behind us.


Btw, heres a random thought for you all to think about: I guarantee you all that if Ted Leonsis had bought the skins back in 1999, we would have had at least 1 super bowl by now.
