Tanking in the NFL doesn't work as well as the NBA. You can find dudes in the 5th round who end up being better than guys in the top 10.

Unless there's a rare exception like Luck, which worked for the Colts.

You grossly over simplifying it.

If tanking for draft position was a viable strategy for future success, teams would actually do it.

No because the players and coaches jobs are on the line so the people within the organization generally won't subscribe to it
 
^ Good point as well. Players shelf lives are super short. Everyone is trying to earn money while they can before they blow a knee out.

Or maybe they also don't subscribe to it because it doesn't work.

Like I said it, "tanking gets you Andrew Luck" is a gross oversimplification. If tanking were actually a viable strategy you'd actually see it implemented by ownership and front offices on down. It doesn't work though.

And that's just the thing they had the 1st pick 2 years ago and didn't draft a QB or fire the GM. Why would anything be different this time around?
 
If you read the report Manziel literally did nothing wrong :lol:

He and his girlfriend argued in the car and said they drank earlier in the day. Neither was intoxicated.

F'ed up reporting. ESPN headline implied he was drunk driving.

I know I would stop and check if I saw a couple arguing on the side of the road. It was embarrassing but not serious...

and when we talked to the police and they realized everything was alright and I was sober, we went home together and everything is fine.

Adam Shady said on SC he apparently slammed her head against the car window. If that's not true he should be reprimanded. I'm sick and tired of media hiding behind anonymous sources.

Let me say something about a person on social media. I bet I'd get charged with slander if not true.
