For Or Against The Tank ..with Poll.

[allsilverdreams]

I hate to lose.I hate waiting another full year.I also understand we needed to change the way we did business.
I just hate to lose.

 

[Travis34]

Also hate to lose, and will have a hard time rooting for a loss during the games

BUT

I know thats what we need

 

[MD]

Embrace the suck.

I'm for stopping the big money free agent signings and pretending we're 1-2 players away from competing like when we signed Suh. I'm for stopping putting a bandaid on long term problems like when we signed a 32 year old Sitton. I'm for fixing the cap by getting rid of bloated contracts. If that's called tanking than tank away.

Surprised I'm the first undecided. I know we need a plan, and i hope we can get our starter without having to take the low road... also I'm ready to get who we need by any means necessary. It's a chess game and I suck at chess

 

[HarryBagpipe]

Well first off define tank because I think different people have different definitions relating to intent. I don’t think any coach or any player intentionally loses a game but some people equate tanking with purposely losing games which I don’t think is really ever the case.

Teams may go into a rebuild mode where they look to shed salary and bloated contracts with little expectation going into a season. Does that count as tanking ?

Now a fans perspective might be different. As a fan is tanking, hoping your team loses with eyes to the future even though the team still looks to win games?

Anyhoo, personally if given the choice I’d rather win 1 game next year than 5. Define that as you will

Nice post, taking is for guys to stuff their package between their legs and pretend they are woman.

Stop the big free agent spending and go young and see where we land. If its 6-10 or 2-14 so be it

 

[Adam Strange]

As if bouncing between 6-10 and 9-7 doesn’t involve plenty of losing, with nothing to show for it.

Last time this team won a playoff game Bill Clinton was in office. Nobody who isn’t post-college age can even remember the Dolphins winning in the first round. And you have to be in your 30s to remember this team winning a playoff game past the first round.

I'm tired of watching other teams tank, pick up a franchise qb, succeed with him, watch him retire, suck again, draft a franchise qb and succeed again, while we have been mediocre since Marino.

If tanking fixes that, then I'm all for it.

I agree with your approach.

I don't call that tanking. Tanking is when you "throw the baby out with the bath water". This means blindly replacing everybody and every thing yet still fielding a team. This is what I call "lemming" thought processes.

Your concise surmise gives me no basis for an argument.
I can only say I don't agree.

What good does arguing do at this point, anyway? None of us is going to change the future, and we've already stated our opinions.

 

[circumstances]

I'm all for youth movement.

Promising rookies at nearly every position, please!
