Trading your two best players is rebuilding?  If the Giants traded Dec and Andrew Thomas next offseason, you would think they are rebuilding and not tanking for Arch?

No. I would think they were absolutely insane.

Isn't that just tanking by another name?

To paraphrase the Bard, "A tank by any other name would stink as much".

"Rebuilding" like this gives a double bang.  You get more draft choices and you make your natural draft choices more valuable by moving up their positions.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

Actually that's not true. Jones rose to 12th in QBR and Daboll said he was "locked in". So he hasn't been terrible all season. As to the last game, I guess you are of the belief that a QB is supposed to play well amidst 8 sacks, 10 hits and 10 hurries?

For the record, Jones is now 25th ranked in QBR
