Most of the fans seriously opposed to Dak typically advocate for a tanking strategy, either intentional or unintentional. They would find any QB on a cheap deal or draft whatever they could given our position and then just start a rebuild.
And they’d be willing to do this for years … as long as it took … cycling in new QBs until we strike gold and find a potentially elite one. Then, and only then, would they agree to start building a good team again.
Having elite talent at other positions is often seen as a waste of time and money. Better to trade those people away to further strive for a way to draft a truly elite prospect.
It’s a bit like Madden.
You’re in one of three spots
- Tanking and keeping your powder dry, stockpiling resources
- You’ve found your QB and are building a can’t miss dynasty
- Winning championships, dynasty is becoming a reality but ready to start over as soon as decline is imminent.
