Here's a jolly discovery. If we take the division, no matter how bad our record, the best draft pick we could have is 21.

Teams that did qualify for the playoffs are assigned draft slots 21-32. The order is determined by the results of the previous year’s postseason play:​

Yeah. I ain’t down with this. Losing is how you build an organization of losers. You play. To win. The game.

Playing to lose, or at least handicapping the chance to win by not playing his best players, helped Jimmy turn the Herschel trade into a massive draft haul that propelled the Cowboys to 3 Super Bowls.

Damn, I’m still mad Jimmy didn’t hold on to Walker to try and get to 3-13. Picking up a few meaningless wins would have went a long way for the moral. Much like these meaningless wins over two injury plagued teams is going to really pay dividends next year.

No Hail Mary at all after Dalton takes a few knell downs. It's absolutely the wrong the play. I get why he ran for the TD, but if he goes down the game is over right then. Instead SF gets the ball back and there is a chance, however small, of coming back.

You're right. A bunch of people pointed that out to me. Don't know what I was thinking when I posted it. The TD by CD was fun to watch, though.

I disagree. Jimmy didn't tank. That team was as bad as its record. He churned the roster ad nauseum because he hated losing under any circumstances. He did everything he could to right the ship as fast as he could. 1-15, 7-19, 11-5, 13-3, 12-4. Two Super Bowl wins. Jimmy Johnson was the sorest loser I ever saw and I am eternally grateful for it.

Totally different situation and era. If we were on our way to 1-15 and some team was dumb enough to take our best player for a gazillion picks, I'd be all for it. That's not where we are, though.

Marcus Mosher is actually an absolute a hole tbh , he is in no way objective on ANYTHING

And he’s a stealers fan. Tells you all you need to know

 

[Beaker42]

I’ll be impressed when he quits dropping easy TD passes in the end zone.

It was hard to blame him.

Jimmy sat better veterans we got from the Vikings in the trade so they wouldn't make play time thresholds that would have converted them to draft picks by the terms of the trade.

One could argue that his *intent* wasn't to lose, but simply to get more picks, but he clearly took actions that diminished our chance to win to get more picks.
