"Tanking", in and of itself, is a terrible description that keeps getting thrown around on this board. Do you think that the players (either in Miami or anywhere else in the league) that will be entering their contract year will want to be associated with a team that has the perception of purposely tanking? Do you think that the players currently on the roster will want to stick around beyond their rookie contracts after being a part of the laughingstock of the league for a season and watching their earning potential go down the toilet? Do you really think that some mythical first round pick in 2020 or 2021 is really all this team needs to be competitive?
Do you guys really think that trading away everyone/anyone with any value is really the way to go? How do you fill a competent 53 man roster in a two-three years if you are replacing every single player on the cheap and replacing experience with draft choices?
Instead, a rebuild, be definition, is what the team is entering. They need to build from the ground up with young players while also having the steady veteran presence to guide the players and show them how to be professionals. Sure the "tanking" worked (in the opinion of many here) with the Suck for Luck but how successful has that team been in his six seasons? He is entering his age 30 season, has had a pretty serious injury history and the best they have done is 11-5 and gotten bounced from the playoffs in every appearance they have made. And he has thrown more INT than TD in the playoffs.
This team needs to keep the core of players that they have and build around that. Players like Fitzgerald, Howard, Ballage, Drake, Tunsil, Grant, Wilson, Stills and probably a couple others are the core of what can be a good team with the right coaching, drafts, free agents and a good dose of good luck on the injury front.
