For the first time in my 30 years as a fan, I'm rooting for the Bucs to lose

As mentioned, I have followed this team my entire life with blind optimism and hope. At this point I just can't take it anymore and I think the best long term strategy for this team is to tank the season and finally draft one of the two outstanding QB prospects (hopefully) coming out in the draft this year.Step outside of your fandom and be honest with yourself, is this really a playoff team? Do you really believe in McCown? Do you really believe in this offensive or defensive line? Do you really believe Lovie/Dungy ball is viable in the 2014 with the new rules all focused on offense? Taking off the pewter colored glasses it's clear to see that there are too many pieces missing and any game they win takes them further away from the top pick.We just recently went an entire calendar year without a win, an entire year! We haven't been to the playoffs in 7 years and haven't won a playoff game in 12. Even though losing is very familiar to Bucs fans, I have just had enough. There are only so many consecutive seasons of getting kicked in the nuts every Sunday a man can take.While some might call me a "bad fan" for not rooting for my team to win, I would respectfully disagree and say that they are being short sighted. While some fans would argue that no draft pick is a sure thing (cough Andrew Luck), I would say that drafting a guy like Jameis or Mariota would bring a renewed hope and energy to the fan base, more than Lovie and his dry pressers will ever be able to do.In the NFL in 2014, if you don't have a good QB you had better be stacked at every other position to win. The Bucs not only don't have a good QB but have too many holes on both sides of the ball.
