We should have tanked.

The Colts dominating their division for 12 of the past 14 years.

And with Andrew Luck, they're staring at another 12 years of domination.

The Dolphins - the complete opposite, and still no legit prospect at quarterback so we still have no future.

It will be true, you guys are in denial and the only reason why you argue against it is cause either you're a Jets fan or you just are used to losing and want it to stay that way.

Go cry and moan about how important meaningless wins are. I already forgot who the heck we beat except the Jets who suck anyways.

We should have tanked, plain and simple. The Colts did it and they had Peyton Manning returning the following year yet they still stayed on track to get Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck isn't proven yet, but he is still a far better prospect than Flynn, Moore or Tannehill - our only three options left.

Even Robert Griffin III is a far better prospect than either of those three.

Sparano has ****ed up our future big time with his desperate attempt to keep his job.

Bro I have been a Dolphin fan since 1970, and I have not nor could I wish the Dolphins to lose. I know it cost us a RG3 or Luck, but I just have too much pride to do that.

Cool, it's only going to cost us more losing seasons until we get one bad year. I rather have one REALLY bad year and 12 years with a franchise quarterback than 12 more years of 7-9.

Denial of what exactly? That Irsay had his players, coaches and GM "tank" the season? That never happened. Used to losing? Thats a funny comment coming from someone crying that Miami didn't lose enough.

I hear what you are saying, but I can't wish our team to lose. If we continue to have losing seasons, then Ireland should be gone for sure. I didn't want to see him come back last year. I have been here through a lot of terrible years.
 
Yes NFL players care so much and just play hard regardless. The mouth piece of it all, Karlos Dansby showed up to camp 30 lbs overweight. They suked. Why did it take them going 0-7 and hearing fans calling for them to tank, to get some 'pride' and play to win? You all arent pissed thats the narrative they are allowed to use? No one wants to ask the question where all that pride was during 0-7?
 
Was the thumbs down button created just to punish people for having negative opinions?
 
We all know this, it's captain obvious type stuff. The problem is there were too many people involved where tanking left nothing al all in it for them. Maybe if you guarantee a job too everyone involved in the tank job the following season you'd have something. Unfortunately that defeats the purpose. I don't believe NFL players and coaches tank especially when there is nothing in it for them. Because of this I think talking about tanking is really stupid because it's simple logic to see why the players and coaches wouldn't be on board.
 
We could not have out tanked Indy...They planned it for 2 seasons while they were still winning with Manning and Luck had one year of college left.
