I can definitely see a guy like Kraft doing exactly that.
Hindsight? We are taking about whether it worked. Hindsight is the only way to answer that. They went to the playoffs 10 straight years before they ranked to 2-14.
Who are the good building blocks at QB, TE, and WR?
The Colts canned their team president, GM, coach, all his staff and a good chunk of the roster after that debacle. So how did they benefit from a tank? They just sucked for many reasons including their coach who was a .300 coach in college.
Thus the need for a rebuild.
I think after Deflategate we learned how weak Kraft really is. If the team finishes 2-14 there will be questions about Bill and tbh rightfully so. The Brady thing will loom very large. I can totally see Kraft doing that.
Having building blocks doesn’t mean you are set at every position. They gave drafted Harry, Keene, asiasi at thise positions in the last 2 years. Are you arguing you should give up on all your draft picks and tank so you can pick more?
The Colts did not have BB. Had they decided to put an OL in front of Luck, that team could have easily contended. Sucking for Luck didn’t destroy the team culture and it wasn’t the reason that team didn’t win a title. What I just mentioned coupled with the fact that the Patriots were completely rebuilt by that time was.
Where is he in record saying that?
This. This is a full rebuild needing serious talent everywhere. I doubt Belichick is here when this rebuild is complete. I think he is here in 21 but unsure beyond that
I know but I’m talking about the team that “tanked”. There is no benefit to it for the participants.
How so? What, specifically, are the negatives?
How did it not destroy a team culture when the entire culture was eliminated?
Losing their jobs...
