The roster used to be quite good, but had slowly eroded away over time. And yet, Peyton Manning was so good he covered up most of it. Until he got hurt and the wheels came off. But Colts actually wanted to be good, just failed at it. The biggest problem was, once they got Luck, they still largely failed at building a roster. At least until very recently.

SkinsFTW Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 They failed because the moron owner fired the coach and Polian at the same time. 3 years after they went to the Super bowl. Yet our GM and coach seem immortal because our owner hasn't won anything in over 20 years after exclaiming how he's going to get the Redskins back to the Super Bowl soon. Dan Snyder is an owner in shellshock due to his own ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost a conference chamionship and a playoff game before they tanked in for Manning a year later. They had six playoff games, one championship, and 2 SB's with a win before they tanked for Luck a year later. All in a row. Irsay was obvious and the fans complied knowing who the QB's would be in the first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearlessNelms Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Absolutely no to tanking for Tua! If the Skins end up with a very high pick, fine, but I want no part of any QB that comes from Nick Saban. Here's Saban's QB's over his years of coaching at Michigan St., LSU & Alabama: Tony Banks- Michigan St. Bill Burke- Michigan St. Marcus Randall- LSU Matt Mauck- LSU Rohan Davey- LSU Josh Booty- LSU JaMarcus Russell- LSU John Parker Wilson- Alabama Greg McElroy- Alabama AJ McCarron- Alabama Blake Sims- Alabama Jake Coker- Alabama Blake Barnett- Alabama jalen Hurts- Alabama- left program now at Oklahoma Tua- Alabama As you can see by these names, Saban hasn't exactly churned out NFL quality QB's. And a bunch of these guys were very successful in college playing for him. To take Tua with a high pick next year and hope that he'll be any different from the guys on the above list would be way too risky in my opinion. Obviously, the jury is still out on Tua & Hurts. But if Hurts turns out to be a good NFL QB, I'd be more inclined to credit that to Lincoln Riley, who has turned Oklahoma into a QB factory.

Darrell Green Fan Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 23 hours ago, London Kev said: I've never been comfortable with the concept of tanking, maybe it's a cultural thing? Not many English people would even know what the word meant. Over here, if for example you had lost the first three games in a best-of-five series, you would still play out the last two games. Even though they would be meaningless in regard to the eventual outcome, you would still try to win both of the the last two games, to make the overall score more acceptable and/or avoid the whitewash. There's a term used to describe it, it's called "playing for pride". Can you imagine the humiliating debacle of two teams playing each other, both trying to lose? I would be disgusted with the players, coaches, and owner if I thought that they didn't want to win. Even if we went 0-15, I would still expect them to give their all to try to get to 1-15. I like that the league is based on a model to ensure parity, but IMO you should always play to win. They still play the games even though they are meaningless? That's really lame, sounds like a money grab and nothing more. As a fan I would have about as much interest as I would in preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irsay was obvious and the fans complied knowing who the QB's would be in the first pick. I'm not sure about that. In the year prior to drafting Luck their QB situation was so bad after Manning was put on IR they made the desperate move of talking Kerry Collins out of retirement just before the season started. That does not sound like the actions of a team trying to tank, if that were the case they would have simply rolled with Curtis Painter which would have pretty much guaranteed the first pick. It should be pretty obvious by now that those playoff success was mostly due to Manning, the team around him just wasn't very good and once he was gone that was exposed.

Many of these guys were really good game managers with leadership qualities. I figured most of them would become decent starters at some point or at least really good backups that stuck around for 10+ years but they just faded away within a few years. Tua does appear better than the list but I don't think he explodes on the scene in the NFL either. Fortunately The Redskins wouldn't be in the market for A QQ. They will be in the market to trade down to make up for the lack of a second rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defense of tua, that list isn't exactly a who's who of first round busts. Jamarcus Russell is probably the only other player on that list who came out of college with extremely high expectations. Saban may not be known for producing high end talented quarterbacks but it's not something that has bitten many teams in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeJacobyHOForRIOT Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 We haven't even seen what Dwayne Haskins can or can not do and we are already discussing tanking for a first round QB ?! 😂 CMON!😡 With that said it is worrisome that both Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones will suit up in week 3 and our knuckle-head is "still learning" on the sidelines 🙄 Although i don't support tanking for TUA i would support tanking all of December to land the best Left Tackle in the draft 6 hours ago, fearlessNelms said: Absolutely no to tanking for Tua!

They pretty much know the Redskins won't draft a QB since we drafted Haskins so really, they would never do a trade. Tell that to Arizona. If we end up with the first pick in the draft we will most likely be in a very similar situation. New coach, GM....the works. And whoever that new coach is may not like Haskins to be his guy. Then you end up with Hebert or Tua and trade Haskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, plus the entire coaching staff got fired along with a good chunk of the FO. I highly doubt Irsay was like, “hey guys, I need you to tank and then I’m gonna fire you all at the end of the season so it looks like we weren’t losing on purpose. Don’t say anything, ok?” and they were all like, “you got it boss!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
