So lets say we legitimately finish 1-15, would you would be OK with the Colts purposely tanking and going 0-16 to grab Luck out from under our noses? I think its pretty naive to think this won't or couldn't happen. There is a reason the NHL and NBA implemented a draft lottery
Yes I would be fine with that. We can talk about hypothetical situations all day. The fact remains going by record at least has a baseline measuring stick that determines a teams position.
I am not sure why you think teams are so willing to tank. I will use the 2009 browns as an example. they had one win with 4 weeks left and they won 4 straight taking them out of contention for the number one pick. Professional sports is a business, but its sports nonetheless and I don't think these guys are as willing to tank as most of the people around here think.
I am not saying that a team may not pack it in with one week left, but anyone who thinks an entire nfl roster will decide to tank the season by week 5 is an absolute moron.
