Dude, it was NUTS! I was watching First take this morning which is MUCH more tolerable without Stephen A on it right now and it came across like 10 min into the broadcast as "breaking news". ONE HOUR LATER they still had NOT stopped talking about it as I had the TV running while I was making some breakfast and returning some work emails. I finally had to turn it off, I could not take another minute of it. Came back to it later out of morbid curiosity, and STILL talking about it. Like who cares, geezus, its not even a shock. He threw for like 8 TD's in 15 games last year...like why is this a shock or even a story, he was outplayed all preseason by Mac Jones, and Cam is no where near a fit for BB and McDaniels offense. I can not believe how much talk there is about Cam getting cut...for me it was like DUH, his arm is shot and is not very good anymore...of course he was cut after the Pats used a first round pick on a QB who literally is in the mold of Brady in terms of style of play, physical traits, etc. It was a bigger story when the Pats even brought him back this year...like no one with a right mind saw that coming after how bad he looked last year throwing balls into the dirt with no pressure on him.

Hahahaha, eating some wings, drinking some beers while laughing about at this thread

DAMN IT, he was my sneaky sleeper at the end of my first 2 fantasy drafts haha. I was like he might end up their top target there given that depth chart. I am not sure he has any value for FFL anywhere else at this point of the season, probably will be too low on the depth chart joining them this late in the process.

We are clearly bored waiting for the final cut downs. Funny, I am not sure anyone of us discussing this even care that much one way or the other. Just something to discuss to pass the time really as I see it.

Fair enough, but there have been plenty of those types of arguments in a multitude of threads over the past few weeks. All good, like I said I meant no disrespect either.

You and this straw man comment. You just said that to me on another post, yet I have presented a plethora of thought and reason as to why I thought he wasn't a lock for the roster. So, no disrespect...running around posting "straw-man" comments is literally just you doing that, not the other way around.

Yeah I liked him too, but I think he is a prime PS squad guy personally. I think Wildgoose would be riskier to get onto the PS vs McCloud. But I would have no problem if McCloud made it either, he showed some promise for sure, albeit against lesser competition.

I am most interested in the future of following people (despite recent Taiwan dialogue, who I actually dont care that much about...just suggesting he doesnt make it brings out his family defense team lol) Stevenson - We havent kept 7 WRs before, but I would like to see us do it this year as I am intrigued about this guy and like to see him make the team. Wildgoose - I have a sneaky feeling about him being someone who could make the final roster and like his potential. Mostly, McD has always done well at developing DB's too, so would like to see the kid stick.

Last year is was like 5:15pm or something when Bills released it...someone shared a tweet with the exact time.

I wouldn't go that far. I mean admittedly, its by no means a stretch to see Taiwan make the team. As others have pointed out, we are already looking at other changes to ST. But, honestly, that is pretty typical for good rosters, to see turnover on ST as the roster gets harder and harder to make the more talented it gets. I think it mostly means that either the guys they looked at for Gunner during the preseason didn't show well enough on tape, or that ultimately they don't see Brieda as a game day contributor and either cut him or plan to keep him as only an emergency RB. I specifically mention Brieda because I find it HIGHLY unlikely we go into weekly games with 5 active RB's between Devin, Moss, Gilliam, Brieda, and Taiwan (because the only reason to keep Taiwan is to be active on game days for ST). So honestly, Taiwan's future here IMHO almost solely depends on the role they see for Brieda, if at all. And given how many times both McD and Beane spoke about adding more speed at RB this offseason, I think they are serious about that given how serious they apparently were also about potentially taking a RB early in the draft. So if they keep Brieda, I think its because they intend on him being part of the game plan.

Hahaha I’m having Zay Jones flash backs lol. Although I would take Taiwan a million times over Zay lol.

Exactly! This roster is stacked and it’s so awesome, love Beane!

Well we don’t know that either. Did you watch the gunners all preseason? I mean we dominated the opponents in preseason, so how did the guys playing gunner look? I didn’t pay attention to them much, but I also did not see any bad ST plays either. And Taiwan didn’t play a snap in the preseason which tells me they were looking at other players because even Josh Allen played. Taiwan is not more important than Allen, Hughes, Cole, etc who all played in the third game. So now the question is, did someone show well enough in that role to fill his role…we will know soon enough.

Again, does not mean there isn’t someone else capable of good gunner play. That’s the point. Some of you have made this decision ONLY Taiwan is capable of it

Same head coach said how important it was to get more speed ON THE FIELD at RB, but you downplay that and Brieda too. Same head coach praised Daryl Johnson also just watched him get traded. In other words, coaches praise guys all the time, doesn’t mean they ultimately fit into the final roster plans. But you seem to cherry pick and take the one comment on Taiwan as the only thing that matters. Shows they like him for sure, but doesn’t guarantee a roster spot.

While not wrong, that’s really you making Taiwan into a god at Gunner that is so irreplaceable when you don’t really know the gap between him and the next guy who can play gunner. All you are doing is creating an imaginary drop off you have no point of reference of. You can’t even tell me who will replace him at gunner let alone tell me that Taiwan is that much better than him that Taiwan is irreplaceable. You are essentially saying Taiwan is the Patrick Mahomes of gunners and his replacement is the Jake Fromm of gunners. But we just don’t know that yet, not me nor you. That’s all it is. And if Taiwan makes the team, then great, means they felt he was that much better and chose to keep him and I’m fine with that. I’m just not sold on that being case personally right now because we have some good prospects I’d like to hold onto elsewhere or guys like Brieda who I think could add value in more game situations.

Lots of Ertz chatter on Twitter involving Bills and Jets…no substance really that I can see, just because of the Hollister cut (which is almost certainly a temp move to IR someone and resign him and likely has nothing to do with Ertz) and now the Herndon trade. Just speculation he’s headed to AFC East over that which is silly and some Packers chatter too. Ertz is the new Clooney lol

Hahaha sad yet true

That legit made me LOL touché haha

This I agree with

That’s just it, I don’t undervalue ST’s. In the past I’ve been quite vocal about the importance of ST’s and all too well remember the horrid we trotted out year after year and screaming at the TV over ST blunders. The difference is I feel we have a really good ST unit these days, and don’t see Taiwan as irreplaceable. Funny thing is almost none of the people advocating for Taiwan have probably even noticed him in a game and are arguing his greatness over a comment from a coach. While he’s obviously a great ST player for us, this notion he is irreplaceable in that role is so grossly over exaggerated around here.

Lol, I am fine if he makes the team, some of you act like I have an agenda against him just because I don’t THINK he will make it unless we open spot up through IR. And I have said MANY times he very well could make the roster and the IR trick is quite possibly the way they will do it. So let me say for the 100th time…I have NOTHING against Taiwan, I just personally prioritize some other players I feel will be on the 53 BEFORE factoring in IR roster tactics.

I won’t say he’s not worthy of a roster spot, ST is always important. But I don’t think he is more valuable THIS year over some of our roster decisions. I’d rather have Brieda as a tool for the offense than say Taiwan. I’d rather keep 7 WRs to keep Stevenson for return duties. I’d rather sign another OT after cuts. I’d rather keep an extra CB like Wildgoose. Etc etc. I have no issue with Taiwan other than I don’t think he brings enough to the table to make this years roster because of players we have at other positions I think are higher priority.

Well that’s inconsistent with other posts you’ve made referencing Kumerow being capable of playing gunner (even though you felt Taiwan was better)

What does this have to do with defense? Some of you guys act like no one in the NFL is capable of making the same SINGLE DIGIT number of ST plays Taiwan did over a full season. I hope some of you buy his jersey, he is obviously irreplaceable and that good lol
