The LA Chargers have had an extremely disappointing 2020 season, currently sitting with a 3-7 record after 10 games. With only six games remaining and the playoffs out of the picture, many fans want to see the team “embrace the tank” and lose games to help the draft position.
On paper, it makes a lot of sense. The Chargers would be getting to pick higher in the 2021 draft order and for many, the desire to lose games down the stretch is stemmed from a desire for the team to undergo a coaching change.
It sounds smart on paper but that is where it should remain — on paper.
