If anything, the freak broken thumb should be a reminder of exactly why. Freak stuff happens. I'd rather have a better chance to win a game or two than to have a guy that — if the Marvin era has taught us anything — won't see the field much for a few seasons. At most, we take a WR in the first and out of necessity he shares time with whoever is already on the roster of a vet FA. There's not a center we'd take in the first, we wouldn't start any picks over the line (either of them), or DBs or RBs. And there's a good chance we do that anyway with our current pick.
I don't get playing to tank a season. Look at the Broncos. Manning went out, they had a decent backup and they won a championship. They didn't put in a Jordan Palmer and start playing for a draft pick. This isn't Cleveland.
Denver didn't need a QB. They had an all-time defense.
Osweiler was drafted to eventually be their starting QB. He was drafted in the 2nd round.
It's not playing to tank, it's playing the odds. With a QB at McCarron's level, what are the odds of making the playoffs? Not very good.
If your options are not making the playoffs but sitting at 8-8 or 5-11 give me 5-11.
Get Dalton back in a year and have vastly better team now
