Why do you hope that? Who cares?I hope they just accept defeat now rather than squirm like a dying insect for sixteen games. Just know all hope is lost, and that sets you free.
If you think foles so far has been a better an than luck, we disagree.You know who won less Super Bowls than Nick Foles and Mark Rypien?
Andrew Luck.
Probably not a compelling argument. But the facts don't lie.
Luck is amazing in the regular season. But victories deep into the playoffs and, more importantly, Super Bowl wins are what matter.If you think foles so far has been a better an than luck, we disagree.

Just look at his final playoff game: To only score 13 against that porous Chief defense is an outrage.
He just wasn't the guy when it counted deep into the playoffs, talent be damned. Foles caught lightning in a bottle, but there had to be something inside him to find that edge when it counted most. I take a guy like that any day over Luck and his pedestrian effort deep into the postseason.
Anyone looking to take advantage cares. If they accept they are going to be terrible, they'll be more likely to flip assets now. Hence the forum thread on the topic of picking them clean. They've got guys on the final year of their contracts who we could use to make another deep run.Why do you hope that? Who cares?
Agreed, but it doesn't matter - the Pats benefit either way.We disagree.
We have a 1/31 chance of improving while the rest of the league combined has a 30/31 chance.Anyone looking to take advantage cares.

They have a young QB with some potential. Brissett is better than 2017 suggests, he was let down by the absolute roster incompetence of the FO that had been living in denial for years because Luck's obvious talent keep bailing them out. Their new FO has been doing solid work at plugging their most obvious gaps and their roster is on an upward trending path right now.It is shocking and sad -- at least from a fan of the game perspective -- that Andrew Luck is retiring. My question is whether it is time to try to pick the bones of that franchise while the getting is good. Hear me out.
I'm sure the Colts front office is as shocked as the rest of us. With their roster containing a decent amount of talent that will now go to waste, we may find they are willing to deal assets for future picks. So with them potentially going into firesale mode, do we call early and try to catch them at a weak/unprepared moment with trade offers?
TLDR: Let's pick them clean.
