Which would be better?

[The Breeze]

absolutely no way, barring a string of injuries, this team goes 3-13.

[J. Kapp 11]

Overall my point was 8-8 showing improvement would have meant the Colts never get a ring. And don't get a top 10 all time quarterback for over a decade. Going 3-13 means we got a franchise left tackle. 2-14 and we'd be in even a better position to rebuild. There are times when that top draft pick has clearly made a significant difference to a franchise. And the only reason they had the opportunity was because of that 3-13 record.

Tell that to New England. They draft in the bottom 5 every year, yet they've managed to build a sustainable powerhouse.
