Can't beat em go into the tank.

If that's true, I wonder if Flores knew that going in...

 

[Bradyking12]

I thought they've been tanking since Marino left.

Justin Herbert. I can't say I have watched terribly much Oregon football the past couple years (pretty much since Mariota left) but I will sure as heck be watching this upcoming season.

What QB they tanking for?

I’m guessing that it’s between Tua and Fromm, depending on who has the better season.

This actually prompted me to think about amendola and whether Miami would be willing to pay him $6 mill again after totally just 575 yards and 1 td this year.

Then i came across this article: Dolphins facing interesting decisions on two veteran receivers. The potential fallout

Wonder what the chances are he does get cut and is available for us... none of his $6m next year is guaranteed according to that article theyd free up all $6 m by releasing him.

I hope Flores gets them 7-8 wins and messes it up

Fine by me as long as they lay down when we go to South Beach....

I understand the logic, but I’d hope to find a coach that wants to win every single week. A coach that thinks he can win with a team full of Undrafteds that are hungry and willing.

I hope Flores is that coach (but that he still loses to NE).

If that's tanking then what is it that the Jete have been doing.

They might as well. There’s not any point to going 7-9/6-10/5-11. If there’s a QB you think is a can’t miss prospect, tank the season, try to get your mitts on him, and improve each round’s pick after that.

I disagree. Not all great QBs go 1st overall. Yes, many starting QBs in the League were taken in the first round, but I’d prefer Brady/Brees/Wilson to first rounders such as Goff/Rivers/Newton...

Create a culture of winning from the start. You play to win the games. « Can’t miss QBs » are less than 50-50...

Do you really need to tank in the NFL? It's not like the NBA, there's quality all throughout the draft.

Brady is by far and away the exception. Furthermore, you have a shot at ANY QB that you want. You also have higher picks in the remaining rounds. The Dolphins have gone your route since Marino retired and have been mired in mediocrity. With Tua coming out, tanking (especially when you’re going nowhere anyway) is a good option to have. By tanking, you also get the chance to purge a lot of dead weight from your cap.

I won’t debate if a team should rank or not

But I am 100% that the HC you tank with CANNOT be the HC you try winning with a season or more later

all I got to say is...."Tanks for the mammaries..."
