What if, in 2010, the won a meaningless game and it dropped them to, let's say, #6 or #7.
AJ Green goes #4, Julio Jones goes #6. We miss out on both.
Then in the 2nd round, San Francisco decides to take Dalton because he's available, and then we take Kaepernick.
Our team looks completely different.
Because of a meaningless win.
That's the kind of stuff that could truly affect this franchise. But a win back in 2010? It would have zero impact today.
That's why I call this line of thinking narrow minded.
The idea that winning one more game is developing a "winner's attitude" that "may or may not cultivate a winning atmosphere" in the following year, but missing that one key player in the draft by a pick or two could lead to your team failing for an additional 5 to 10 years.
Ehh, fine. I'm just jealous we aren't the Browns. They're picking first. If only Dalton would have had a lousy season we'd probably be picking in the top 5. I hate the fact that he succeeds. Thankfully we had not one, but two kickers who helped get us a better draft pick! Also, did you see those dumbass Steelers winning a playoff game? Idiots are going to be picking like...20-something. Dopes.
Remember when we stole that IR-ed corner from them since we had a higher draft pick? Those fools got some guy who is playing well as a rookie in the playoffs. Idiots.
