He's been tanking for 23 years and to stupid to know it.....

Not purposely no most agree its stupid fan narrative..no one truly can tank as players and coaches will always play to win. Organically losing and you end up with better pick in year like this isnt a totally bad thing,.Injuries records number of injuries' caused our failures this year..its obvious we dont have to tank we will have great pick regardless

been discussed, discussed more, discussed into oblivion, discussed until the horse was killed , processed and eaten!!

OMG people who cares !! we arent nor were we ever going to tank. Its a fan word not a franchises word in any sports..when you suk you just suk

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I don’t think we have a choice.

 

[Cowfan75]

He could save face by telling people we are trying to tank. Otherwise it's laid bare that we have an atrocious coaching staff, overpaid scrubs, and the worst "GM" in football.

They don't need to tank on purpose. It is happening organically as the result of poor job performances from Jerry on down.

LLLOOLLL, just saw a mock draft that has us taking the BYU QB with the 4th pick and then the Safeties from Oregon (Holland) and TCU in the first 3 rounds. Who would believe old jerrah would do that raise your hand.

Jones had this to say when asked if tanking for a high draft pick or making the playoffs was the right direction going forward.

“I think coming off the playoff appearance unquestionably,” Jones said. “This is now. This is this year..."

Jerry's long-term plan is always this year.

1. Doubt any owner,GM or coach would come out and admit that tanking would be the best idea. So there’s nothing shocking or even upsetting about his statement.
2. When you’re 115 years old. Every day may be your last. So yeah. He’s probably hoping for the best finish possible. This year.

Lmao Jerry and plan don't belong in the same sentence. This man has been doing the same thing for decades without improving the results and shows no signs of changing that philosophy. This man doesn't "plan" anything.

No it isnt.

But I also want a high pick if possible.

Realistically, after all the banter.....we pick like 8th and end up with Parsons.

Maybe that's a blessing. No one can argue against that right now.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Right now we are in the 4th spot and being realistic not seeing many more wins.

 

[Bigdog]

He says this with a wink and fingers cross behind his back.

Perfect spot to pick a RB! Never mind, even Jerrah isn’t that dumb.

I really don't think Parsons lasts to #8

Knowing Jerry he'll remember passing on Ramsey and react by way over-drafting a CB.

 

[conner01]

I don’t think we have a choice.

Tanking or just get beat each week accomplishes the same result
I don’t want the players to quit
Many will be back
But what’s gonna fix this team is talent and losing helps gain better talent

LLLOOLLL, how much are you willing to bet?

 

[cowboyec]

win.

 

[CouchCoach]

If they were even considering that, do you think the owner of America's Team would admit to losing on purpose? Do you think he's going to hear from Goodell about even using the "t" word?

He's still trying to convince more people to buy tickets to come see his team. Why? To see them intentionally try not to win games?

Hell, from the reaction he had during that game, he knows he doesn't have to lose on purpose. He's just hoping he gets his money's worth out of most of these players. They're paid to play and to try to win.
