HOF QB Big Ben wasn't untouchable, so why is HOF Coach Tomlin?

    It’s one thing to accept that your team may have to suck to eventually get better and another to hope for it.

    There actually is a general consensus. I think most rational fans have a standard idea of how a fan should support their favorite team.

    Tanking simply sets a poor team culture and damages players' careers.

    Here's a good article on it from a while back:

    EDIT: hmm, the link doesn't seem to work. google 'suck for luck bleacher report' and you'll find it

    See what you did? You made me agree with jeh on something. A plague on your house for that alone.

    Fans don't root for their team to lose for five years. I knew you were ignorant, but I didn't think you needed someone to explain that simple concept to you.

    That is one year, not five, and the goal is the long-term improvement of the team. He wanted them to lose just out of spite for Mike Tomlin.

    He read it, but it's Football Plagiarist. He needs an actual NFL player to tell him fans should root for their teams to win. He can't seem to figure out that concept for himself.

    Just because you can't make it happen doesn't make your wish that the team sucks for five years just to ruin Tomlin's reputation any less ridiculous.

    In a devil‘s jersey? You could’ve at least search the Internet for a photo of a crazy Steelers fan. Epic fail.

    It’s a Seinfeld episode “gotta support the team”

    Never mind go back to the tissue talk that’s more on your simpleton level.

    I know exactly what it is. "David Putty". You're just not very clever that's all.

    they can’t just forfeit because the nfl needs them to play games for money.

    guess the 76ers had no fans when they tanked https://thesixersense.com/2016/02/2...-fans-aid-in-the-exposure-of-the-process/amp/

    It’s not. I gave an example of the 76ers for YEARS supporting their team tanking and even embracing the motto for the team tanking called “trust the process”.

    thing is the owner purposely got bad players and purposely lost games for years so they could get better positions in the draft. Isn’t that what the guy was talking about?

    hmmmmm posted that it would be worth the Steelers being bad the next five seasons just to ruin Tomlin's reputation. That's the five years. That is the post you have been defending. Please at least try to keep up.

    No, it wasn't. Maybe you should actually try to understand posts before you defend them. He just wanted the team to suck for five years just to spite Tomlin. It was incredibly stupid and you thoughtlessly jumped to his defense.

    You gave a basketball reference. You do know in viewing statistics...football is more than double that of basketball, and so is revenue. So You are speaking of apples, and oranges
