The last true and blatant complete season tank I can remember was the Colts to get Andrew Luck. There were a couple games near the end where it was “all eyes on the colts” because they were in danger of winning.
McD and Beane will never get the roster right so there’s only one choice. Rebuild with a new regime or collapse and Josh demands a trade. Letting Beane or McD choose the new players acquired from a Josh trade would be absolutely catastrophic.
You can’t fire 1 and keep the other. These are McDs hand picked, tiny, high character, less talented guys out there year in and year out. It gets worse each season.
