The Chiefs are actually in good shape here, because they can hand three of the other four winless teams a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I couldn't help but laugh at the title of the thread. Tanking this early in the season, though? For any team? Not a smart idea.As a Lions fan, let me tell you that having the team tank on purpose is not a good idea. However, sometimes it is in the best long-interest of the team if they have a terrible season to get that cornerstone or building block. So from a fan's perspective I can understand it. Take the Chiefs for example: do you really think they're going on a deep playoff run after losing Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles in the first two weeks? Wouldn't it be in the best interest of the team (long-term) to have a young stud QB like Luck or Jones to groom with the young team then to win 5 or 6 meaningless games and end up with Cassell again next year or some other average QB?You could make the case that if the Lions were mediocre these past 5 years instead of putrid, they wouldn't have their franchise cornerstones like Calvin Johnson, Matt Stafford, and Ndamukong Suh.

Probably several rounds before.Hell, I'd take flyers on players like Russell Wilson, a young Tajh Boyd, and even Kirk Cousins before I would touch Kellen Moore.
