There are a bunch of issues with tanking in the NFL

1. One player can't make a difference by himself nearly as much. I don't think anyone thinks Stroud would be good on the Jets right now and he seems really good. In the NBA a #1 pick can instantly make you a playoff team.
2. NFL picks are way more likely to flame out. You can use hindsight on the Jets picking Zach Wilson, but basically every viable pick for that spot looks terrible now.
3. Much fewer games means that any single win can ruin your tank (see: Trevor Lawrence and the Jets). In the NBA you can win 10-15 games and your tank is fine.

Burrow, Lamar and Allen thus far have the same issues Rivers has in an inability to close the deal in the playoffs but haven't been as good for as long.

Only Mahomes is worth comparing to this group as of now though obviously it could change in a few years

Boston and the entitlement here reeks lol

We all know Zach Wilson is a bust and the Jets if anything have way more legit to be mad about but no one acts like he's personally insulting them

Vikings, Giants, Bears and Packers being a combined 1-10 has something to do with it

No tackle is a maximum of 7 points and maybe 1 game loss

Tackle is potentially an entire lost season
