You're asking for a guy who gets his first head coaching gig ever to intentionally mess up his win-loss record just so you get a QB that may or may not pan out. "Hey, we want to fix this culture of mediocrity by turning our team into a losing franchise so that we can draft a QB that has just as much a chance of being a bust as being a hall of famer."
That's not even mentioning the fact that we have enough talent that tanking is going to be difficult to do.
Agreed. You don't tank. You try to build the right culture with the right coach, and the rest seems to fall into place. Anyways, here's where the best QB's in the NFL were taken:
Pat Mahomes - 12th overall
Tom Brady - 6th round
Drew Brees - 2nd round
Aaron Rodgers - 24th overall
Ben Turdburdler - 11th overall
Deshaun Watson - 12th overall
Russell Wilson - 3rd round
Derek Carr - 2nd round
You do have good QB's taken high:
Cam Newton - 1st overall
Matt Ryan - 1st overall
Andrew Luck - 1st overall
Matt Stafford - 1st overall
Baker Mayfield - 1st overall
Jared Goff - 1st overall
Carson Wentz - 2nd overall
Phillip Rivers - 2nd overall
But tbh, I'd take the first group over the 2nd. Just goes to show you don't have to totally tank to find a top QB.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
