Seriously, a good portion of the fan base thinks Dak is a top ten QB, that's all you need to know about the complete lack of logic and knowledge.
Knowledge of Dak hate?

Say whatever you want to say to make yourself feel better but it’s still quitting. We’re talking about people and how that mentality will fester in the minds of the players not pork bellies.
His figurative statement did not make any sense at all and I invest in stocks. Interestingly, he thinks he"s made a point, albeit..... well I really don't know how to warp your mind around it. You invest hoping to get the highest returns. Metaphorically, per his statement, tanking means you hope that your stock goes down. When investing longterm, there are fluctuations, but you don't like losing profits for gains because they are difficult to project. Who thinks that is a good thing? I digress.
No I said tanking is quitting.I did not. I'm clarifying your position. Are you saying that trading players is quitting?
Just so we are clear... you never post anything solid (facts/stats) to justify your dislike of Dak, yet other fans are the ones who have "complete lack of logic and knowledge". Enlighten us.Seriously, a good portion of the fan base thinks Dak is a top ten QB, that's all you need to know about the complete lack of logic and knowledge.

yes it can, but be careful who you ask.Good then you agree that trading players to accumulate other assets cannot be construed as tanking or quitting.
As long as you don't tank to do so.Good then you agree that trading players to accumulate other assets cannot be construed as tanking or quitting.

There's a trade deadline way before the last 4 games.That's cyclic. What in your mind constitutes tanking? Let's say that you trade player "A". You as GM feel confident that the team can likely win 3 of 4 final games with player A and will likely make the playoffs. You also feel certain that player A will unlikely (somewhere beyond 99 percent) be able to win against the other playoff teams. You feel this team might be able to have a more reasonable 50 percent chance at defeating these other playoff teams with extensive changes to the roster in the following offseasons (say 12-16 moves to the first team offense and defense combined).
You do an extensive analysis of different methods to acquire these pieces and realize the likelihood of acquiring the necessary pieces is extremely small when combined with likely player longevity (injury potential) along the active roster while accumulating these assets.
You come to the conclusion that the team will likely fall short of the ultimate goal of winning the super bowl (98 to 99 percentage certainty) in the next 5-6 years, but have a 98 to 99 percent chance of winning the division and/or making the playoffs in 2/3 of the same seasons.
Would it then be tanking/quitting to trade player A and any other player to acquire draft capital, when there is a 98 to 99 percent chance of not winning the division for the next 5 seasons if you do this.

So you want to tank that early, wow! Tanking is quitting and for losers and you're not going to EVER change my mind. I've seen what a losing atmosphere does to a team.Ah yes. Okay go back to before trade deadline. Same scenario. But instead of 3 of 4 games, it's 6 out of 10.
So you want to tank that early, wow! Tanking is quitting and for losers and you're not going to EVER change my mind. I've seen what a losing atmosphere does to a team.
And what do you think you're doing? Keep being in denial all you want. All you've done is feed Jerry's ego and his failed philosophy.

Dude what is you problem? I never said that. That was your hypothetical that I was commenting on. If you're going to play these kinda games just get lost.So you are stating that trading players away qualifies as tanking. You are starting to contradict yourself. Which is it? Clarify your opinion.
