Against Tanking

[*Nately120*]

We aren't winning the SB without Burrow...which is why it'd be nice if we were the kind of franchise that could draft good players and make the SB without him having to suffer a season ending injury where various things that keep his body together are forcefully snapped.

I get that we are making the best out of a bad situation, but I guess anything short of a SB win next year really makes all this crap for naught.  We need to nail the draft and make the most out of that 4th place schedule because if we don't we have to hope we can get it done with a lousy draft number and a 1st place schedule.  We can't make a habit out of needing Burrow to go down and the season to turn to absolute crap to set up our SB runs...eventually the Luck 2.0 stuff is going to get traction.

Then again, I guess when you win a SB no one really cares how you got there and what happened the year before.  Still, when you think of SB winning HOF QBs you don't usually think of season ending injuries setting up the run.

Hmm, I just realized the Jets are going to be poised for a similar run next year with Rodgers snapping his achilles and the Jets rolling with their craptastic bust QB for the entire season.  We shall see. They can't out crap the Patriots though, so they'll have to settle with a 3rd place schedule yellow brick road.
