Or we tank the season and Luck suffers a serious injury the Rose Bowl and can't play football then what sir?

Re: rebuilding or FA frenzy?

Should we plan on tanking a season for Barry Sanders Jr?

Let's just tank 5 seasons in a row and build up a hell of a roster with all the top picks we'll have! Watch out NFL in about 10 years!

We just tried that. It didn't work like we had hoped.

And make sure that all of our starters are under the age of 25. LOL.

No one is saying that we should suck for that long. But playing all young guys and sucking for a year with a chance to land Luck isn't going to hurt. We've won how many games the last two years playing older guys??? The Rams getting Bradford just gave their pathetic franchise hope for the next 12 years.

There's a big difference between playing your young team and suffering for a year should they not perform well and outright rooting for the team to suck so you can get the #1 overall pick. We're not going to field a team of rookies this year, you still need to get a few veteran FAs to plug some holes in the team.

I really don't care how many games we win next year cause this is not a playoff team. It's a REBUILDING JOB! What's the difference between 4-6 wins? Nothing. I'd rather just win 2 and better the draft position. I want a lot of young guys out there, not London Fletcher, Santana Moss, Casey Rabach and Jamal Brown.

Well, here's a question for you, assuming the schedule is played as written:
are you rooting for the Skins to win week 1, to beat the Giants, OR are you rooting for the Giants, so that we keep our shot at getting Luck alive.

Anyone who could conceivably root for the Giants is not a smarter fan that i am. Sorry, that just ain't.

Orakpo might create a couple of wins. To realize your dream, we'll have to cut him.

TWilliams might create a couple of wins. To realize your dream, we'll have to cut him.

Cutting Rak and Trent sure sounds smart to me.

Bruce Allen says he does not believe in rebuilding. When the question was put to him, this is what he had to say [quote]

"I don't know what rebuild is. I think there's an opportunity each week to do well in the NFL. Last year we had a chance to do better, we had a chance to do worse than our 6-10 record. And every opportunity that we're gonna be given this year, we've got to compete. I don't think it's fair to a veteran player to say that we're gonna worry about 2014 instead of 2011. London Fletcher deserves the opportunity to try and win every game we play, and that's what our organization is gonna focus on." [unquote]

The quote further dispells that notion of not wanting to win each and every game regardless of what may happen in the future.

this is a rebuild, even though allen doesn't want to say it, he's certainly thinking it.

Rebuild is not a good sell so perhaps he prefers to use a different term. It would be difficult to judge what we're doing now as anything but that.

We're not going to tank the season so we'll lighten the load and take a look at what really happened this week in history.
