It establishes a losing culture. Once you ask someone to tank you cannot ask that same person to come back and play hard. Tanking will always end up undermining management.

Ethics in football went out the door around the time plastic helmets replaced leather helmets.
Holla and brings me a dollah!
Or holla and just owe me a dollar!
Tanking and quitting are not even remotely the same thing.Quitting is never right....IMO
Tanking and quitting are not even remotely the same thing.
Trading away good players is tanking.Exactly WHO is "tanking?"
You think these guys in their walk years arent trying their very best?
I admit that's highly questionable at times... but they are.
No player or coach is ever "tanking," even if the front office is secretly rooting for something else.
Good case in point is Miami last year. FO tried to "tank" but players and coaches were having none of it (got Tua anyway lol).
Jerry isnt trying to tank but we can continue to think that way. Gives him yet another excuse.
No one is asking players to lose.
Coaches do it via inserted personnel, game strategy, plays called etc.
Blimey! How long you been watching the NFL.
No, tanking is not quitting. Tanking is losing a battle to win a war.Tanking IS Quitting.
If you're aim is to lose ... then you quit.
MIA's players are playing ultra hard this year. I've heard that theory, haven't seen a shred of evidence that's there's any truth to it.Once that happens management is undermined. Players know when they are not being supported and they are not going to put it all on the line for someone who does not reciprocate.
3 super bowls in 4 years from a major tanker, Jimmy Johnson, says you are way off base.If you quit once, we will always be a quitter.
Nothing if being a quitter and a loser is your character.Ethics in football went out the door around the time plastic helmets replaced leather helmets.
So, I say this: What's ethical about freezing a kicker? Or stashing healthy players on the injured unable to perform list?
Or coaches blowing smoke about their intended draftee and then choosing another?
What is ethical about fans making it impossible for the opposing QB to hear his cadence or a feigned injury to stop a clock? Or announcers breathlessly promoting an upcoming game between a 9-1 team against a 1-9 team?
Or deflated balls, stolen signals and sweetheart deals by municipalities to attract and keep NFL teams?
This proud rude boy from Leeds long ago gave up thinking there were ethics in professional NFL?
Me? I think of tanking as a strategic plan to make a football team better.
If you think tanking for 2021 is wrong, then I don't want to be right. So then go ahead enjoying your 8-8 seasons and the upcoming 3-13 season.

Speaking of being a loser and a quitter ^^^They're worried that we might be able to finally be in a position to Draft Prescott's replacement.
TANK TILL WE DROP!!!!
The Dak-mafia must be exterminated baby as they suck big time!!!
Oh, so there is something wrong w/ it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nothing if being a quitter and a loser is your character.

Losing on purpose is quitting. You're better than that, you wanna quit, quit.Tanking and quitting are not even remotely the same thing.
With all due respect, if you lose on purpose, you're a quitter! I hate quitters!3 super bowls in 4 years from a major tanker, Jimmy Johnson, says you are way off base.
Webster definition of a loser, I.e. you, @PAPPYDOG aka Pappysmear and many others here:If they're out of the playoff picture, then the team needs to be doing everything they can to improve for the following season which begins on draft day.. But some Cowboy fans love meaningless wins. Nothing like a good moral victory around here.
I bet Jimmy never lost on purpose. No coach with a sack would do that. Tanking is for the FO and loser fans that have no heart or passion!!!!3 super bowls in 4 years from a major tanker, Jimmy Johnson, says you are way off base.
