Hurt Longterm

[America's Cowboy]

To hell with them and anyone that agrees that short term fans want to win now. Been here since 1974 and I want to win now and later. Losers don't mind losing, they think a high draft pick will fix it and then when we get that pick, they'll call him a bust. Those are wannabe Miserable-now, fans. They'd make me sick, if they weren't so comical.

Sorry, Coach, I totally disagree. Jimmy Johnson even did the same in 1989.

They say it's bad to win, but I promise when we lose they won't be happy, either.

The bottom line is, this team isn't good. They're going to lose plenty the next month. And, news flash, it doesn't matter if we root for it or not.

You explain to the team why it's important to tank and secure a top 10 pick. It's to help the team out much better in the draft.

That's ridiculous....tanking is for FO and some fans, no player, or coach worth a damn, is gonna lose on purpose. If they do, they need to hang them up. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire

You are only catching part of the problem with a soft tank. The biggest effect is upon the delusional ownership group who will think that we have the pieces here to compete down the road. It's not really hard to understand why so many of us would prefer losses

Tanking is not going to fix everything. It sends a message to possible players to not come here.

How many times do I need to say it…..COMPETITIVE SPIRIT ….

That's your opinion, Coach. Not saying you are wrong, but positioning yourself to draft high in every round of the draft is important for a team with many holes to fill, plus be in position to pick among the best players in each round.

Answer: The coaches want to win but the players want to win MEANINGFUL game because if they get hurt playing meaningless games, their careers get shorten. Players will naturally protect themselves. It is a human response. Ask yourself, if you are retiring you will never saying you don't care. It is called "silently quitting". You are not working hard as you did last year because you are leaving.

Comparing retiring to playing sports is far different. As I say, many fans do not understand competitive sports and incentives for those contracts.

If they had competent people in charge tanking would be worth it but with the low IQ inbred family it really doesn't matter. Draft 8th or draft 15th you know they'll find a way to waste the pick plus the loser culture is well established and here to stay, no player is changing that. Let the short-sighted instant gratification junky kool-aid drinking fans have they fun while it lasts, this team is doomed anyway.

That low IQ family took a team losing $1 million a month to the most valuable sports franchise in the word of around $10 billion.

So what does that say about fans … seems to me there are many low IQ fans as well ….

Cavanaugh/Braoddus both say it is GREAT to win meaningless games but this is hurting the team overall. The offense is poor and lacks scoring ability.

"So while short-term Dallas fans wants wins now, hurts the future team. Dallas is playing their way out of better players."

Then they both stated: "Dallas has a phobia with DL. If you taken Hutchinson instead of Taco, you have a better taste with Michigan players"

What is up with all of these betas coming out of their soyboy caves?

If you’re going down you go down swinging like any man with an ounce of pride would do.

You all just refuse, or can’t, understand the reality of sports.

Nah, I simply accomplished what I did back in the day but didn't understand the reality of sports.

You really think a player or coach fighting for his job is gonna want to lose on purpose?

 

[jazzcat22]

Sorry, Coach, I totally disagree. Jimmy Johnson even did the same in 1989.

The 1988 and 1989 teams were far in a different situation than this team now.
Those teams, nothing was going to help them. It was not a tank on purpose.

If you communicate with the owner and they agree tanking is best to help rebuild the team and if you want to keep your job, of course.

 

[jazzcat22]

Nah, I simply accomplished what I did back in the day but didn't understand the reality of sports.

So you quit or gave up back then. Ok.

You think this team is better than those teams?

And if a team tanks on purpose. They could face fines and lose draft picks imposed by the NFL.

 

[jazzcat22]

You think this team is better than those teams?

Yes it is obvious.

 

[America's Cowboy]

So you quit or gave up back then. Ok.

Yeah, I quit and gave up all the way to two All State nominations. What do I know? You bench warmers know more than me!

 

[Hagman]

I like that our players and coaches are fighting to win games. Any player or coach who loses on purpose should be cut immediately.

The problem with our drafts is that despite where we pick our idiot front office has been giving away fourth round selections for nothing and wasting second round pics on linebackers with bad wheels and back up tight ends

 

[jazzcat22]

Bench warmers? You know nothing about me.

Nominations, so you didn’t win?
