See why I don't like the NFL? Teams get rewarded for suckiness with draft picks! In other words, it allows teams to intentionally blow games so they can get high spots in the draft. -CSM

Anyone can abuse anything.

Also, I'm surprised the NFL didn't just give them the whole first round :/

Note: a worker is not inclined to lay down on the job to let someone else come in and take theirs.

In other words, no team is going to sacrifice pride for one player, that's just plain stupid. Houston didn't do it, Oakland didn't do it, Cincy didn't do it, and Detroit at least tried not to do it. This notion is nothing more than a hopeful wish that comes from optimistic fans that are just trying to find something positive out of a negative season.

These guys are professionals, and they want to remain in the league, if anything the final games are an audition for next year.

You think Seneca Wallace would just intentionally lose a game so that the Seahawks could bring in a new QB to succeed he and Hasselbeck? You think Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to throw the ball to the defense every play and risk never getting another job in the NFL?

Remember when Reggie came out the draft? People wanted Houston to tank so that they could get him, they won (and still ended up #1) and passed on him.

Detroit was trying to win. Believe me, I was actually watching.

In Europe, if your team sucks like this you get demoted to another league and have to work your way back up. -CSM

Because there's a minor league football system?
