Rooting for the Giants is a lost cause. They are never good & they have no clue how to tank.
Well that worked out for us well in the Chase Young bowl. Coaches wont tank just to get fired. Players who are FA or on 1 year deals don't want to hurt their own value. Plus some (not all) of these guys are truly competitors.

That's why Schoen should have traded Barkley. Barkley came out and said he has no loyalty to the Giants. So he'll hurt our draft position and peace out next year.

I think if you really want to tank you have to sell a few ,pre players otherwise guys are going to keep trying. They are playing for their own jobs and money.

Even if they sell everyone good guys will keep trying. Look at Devito. But either way, fans rooting for wins this situation is crazy. I did root against the Jets but a) that's the Jets and b) it was inconceivable they would lose out anyway if DJ came back healthy. Now with no DJ I'm full on the tank. I hope they lose out.

Every competitive instinct in most players are antitank but sometimes it pays off. Mark Cuban didn't even want his team to make the playoffs that was nuts to me but was his choice last season.
