  • There are a bunch of issues with tanking in the NFL

    1. One player can’t make a difference by himself nearly as much. I don’t think anyone thinks Stroud would be good on the Jets right now and he seems really good. In the NBA a #1 pick can instantly make you a playoff team.
    2. NFL picks are way more likely to flame out. You can use hindsight on the Jets picking Zach Wilson, but basically every viable pick for that spot looks terrible now.
    3. Much fewer games means that any single win can ruin your tank (see: Trevor Lawrence and the Jets). In the NBA you can win 10-15 games and your tank is fine.
