By Popular Demand. Should the Skins FIRE Jay Gruden? Thread

Since when does tanking make a team better? I've never understood why people say this. Getting a better draft pick doesn't make you a better team the following year. When has tanking proven to equal success the following year? It just makes no sense why people think this way.

It hasn't helped Cleveland but it does help to have better draft picks.

I feel fine about tanking the season. Start over with some good draft picks next year. Let McCoy play out the season because Cousins is gonna killed behind this patchwork line and then he definitely won’t come back.

There's no way these players or coaches who are playing for another contract with the Skins or as an audition for another team will tank. That's career suicide.

We've had plenty of years of top 5 and top 10 picks. Hasn't gotten us anywhere.

Some of you need to take a deep breath.



You won’t be saying that when we lose the next few of these games. Teams wrecked to hell and Cousins is playing like the Lone Ranger cuz he has no help. I’d be surprised if we keep it competitive against the Cards and Chargers. Giants, still beatable.

We were going places with Scot until Allen and Snyder stepped in it.

Trent williams, Sean Taylor, Champ, RG3 etc. All have brought great play to this team.

Like I said, it's not for certain but high picks help

This is absolutely true and anyone who believes otherwise needs to open their eyes.

Take away just half of the injuries this year and I think we'd be at least 7-5 right now. I know people want to bring the pitch forks and run everyone out of town, but injuries have really impacted our ability to stay competitve week in and week out.

of course it has, no doubt but even when we were fully healthy. (eagles week 1) (KC game) we still never look fully prepared.
