You can't breed a culture and mentality of winning by intentionally losing!! Only losers want to lose.....I want winners on my team. It is absolutely asinine to play to lose in order to solidify better draft positions vs. building team chemistry, character and toughness and expecting the FO to make better picks with the draft choices they end up with. Not only that, it's a stupid business move. The fans expect to see improvement and hope for the near future before they will fill the stadium next year. I don't care who you pick with the #1 pick, if you go 0-16 or 1-15 the season prior and look really bad doing it, you will lose money for the next couple years as that franchise owner. Bad, bad, bad business! Expecting more from what you do have and make the most of it is good business.
I would love nothing more than to watch this team win out the rest of the season while showing steady improvement and STILL have a solid draft without the #1 pick. You gotta BILLieve!!!
