Once again inaccurate. I NEVER advocated losing on purpose for Luck. I was on the bandwagon to draft him if we ended up that way. And at that point Henne was playing and I was very vocal we needed a different QB. But Moore had never played at that point. My two points are and have been:
1. This team needs several more pieces. If Matt Moore does not play better than he did today, then I say we get the best QB possible in the draft.
2. If he continues to play as well the remainder of the way as he has prior to today, I think he is a solid starter you can win with. You still draft a QB though for the future and if Moore backslides.
3. This team does not have to lose to get one of the coveted QBs. Its called TRADE. It happens all the time. Jets did it for Sanchez, Giants did it for Eli. If this team wants one of those QBs they will go get them.
4. I do not think you THROW games or route for the team to lose to get ONE player. The other players on this team have to be measured and judged. You can not do that unless you play them hard and to win. Unless you think Luck is also going to block, tackle, catch the ball and run the ball.
.....I'm just sayin
well then my apologies...
but i think there's a point here that many of you guys are missing...you make it sound like to trade up and get our qb is gonna be so damn easy...well i got news for you guys to trade up for a barkley if he comes out there is gonna be competition...and plenty of it...so you'll be in a bidding war...the teams that can't get a sniff on luck are gonna immediately turn their attention to barkley and what it takes to getting up to where they can land him...the higher we pick in this draft the better our chances to put together a package that a team in trade will accept and the less resources we have to part with to get there...
i'm just sayin...
