Joshua Berman asks: When we bench Jones because it might have implications for next year’s cap and thereby sabotage the product on the field and morale in the locker room, we call that prudent. But were we to bench starters to improve our draft position and thereby sabotage the product on the field and the morale in the locker room, we would call that unsportsmanlike and unconscionable. What’s the difference between the two? The claim that tanking is playing in order to lose while benching Jones is not, is disingenuous when you know for certain that you are putting an inferior product on the field.
