NFL Draft Should the NFL do a Lottery? - Page 4

**CosmicPal** · 11-07-2011, 10:01 AM

I happened to see a few moments of the Indy game yesterday and one thing seemed certain to me- that team is clearly NOT interested in winning football games.

I figured Miami was doing the same until yesterday's game against our hapless Chiefs.

I have to wonder if Indy is seriously losing to grab Andrew Luck?

So, should the NFL institute a Lottery draft like the NBA and NHL? To prevent teams from losing on purpose?

The first five picks in the draft go into a lottery pool? Would this field more competitiveness in the NFL? And prevent teams from losing on purpose?

I don't recall a year when a team or teams lost on purpose, but I have to think Indy is doing just that this year. I mean seriously, that team has some talent there to win a few games without Manning.

I'm not whining about anything here. This question was posed on another football site last week and after witnessing some of Indy's flashy moments in yesterday's game, I have to wonder if they truly are tanking in the season for Luck.

Just throwing the question out there to see how the Planet feels. And it's obvious how you feel.

Was having a crappy day at work. Sorry if I was coarse.

Tim Tebow has all the intangibles.....

Its the fact that Luck has the tangibles too.
