Would you have tanked for Ryan Leaf?

Ranching · Nov 13, 2020

I don't understand why someone would want to lose on purpose to draft a player that is not proven. Could put us back another 10 years.......

You are reaching here. Any tank should be organic and the only thing thing that sets us back ten years is the same that has set us back 25 years already.

Organic? I like my tank with preservatives

....so could signing a QB to a large contract extension coming off a bad ankle injury.

Tanking here is probably for a 3-5 pick which in this draft should be traded for more draft capital and then the resulting picks should go towards defense.

That being the case and the fact that they already have a top 5-7 qb in dak that they will resign, says any tanking won’t result in a qb drafted no matter how you slice it

Didn't even need to tank for Leaf.

He was a Cowboy by 2001

We aren’t tanking for a QB.

You’re drafting a 10+ year blue chip LT who will play LG until Smith retires / injured. Sewell plays nasty and that’s what we need

Now ask us if we would have tanked for Mahomes, Rodgers, Watson, Wilson, Hubert, Burrows etc.
Man, you have to have a better argument than the idiotic one you just posted!!

I have an 18 inch scar on my right ankle. Had a complete reconstruction and ligament transplant with 3 titanium screws. Took me 6 months to rehab and it did not hold me back a bit. I'm sure Dak will be 100%.

There is a risk with every QB in this draft and the QB right now is a known.

However, there is a greater risk. Assuming the Joneses will take the money they're not giving Prescott and fix the D and OL.

There is the distinct possibility that they not only back up with the QB position but not fix the team. One thing we have, history of how they run the team and few feel good about that.

I hope we go mostly defense in the draft. It’d be nice to pair up Diggs with another play maker!

You make too much sense...the quitters aren't going to like you.

Due to your immensely high football IQ, we know you would rather have the red BB gun as quarterback.

The answer in No. Ryan Leaf was a dumb guy. Dumb guys with big arms always tank in the NFL. JaMarcus Russell...BIG arm, little brain. That combo always fails.

How many of those were top 1 or 2 pick? Speaking of idiots, stop looking in the mirror

Thank you for a straight answer.

Actually, it is a righteous argument. It was 50/50 for Leaf/Manning and I can remember some saying it wasn't even close, Leaf is the guy. Leaf had more buzz coming in that any of those QB's you mentioned. The worst thing anyone could say was they couldn't go wrong with either one.

We're playing two games here. One is the grass is always greener and the other is these Bozos will build a better team around one of these blue chippers in this draft. Regardless of the QB, if they don't build a better team, doesn't matter.

The great news is that we are fans typing words on a forum and have no bearing on what happens on the field at all.

Would you have tanked for Ryan Leaf?
