People argue in support of a certain player, and then some folks start with this straw-man garbage. Does nothing for the debate, and only misrepresents other's opinions on the matter. If that's how you debate a subject, it's hard to take anything you say seriously. I don't care either way on jones. There need to be dedicated ST players though - thats not a debate.

So, no disrespect...running around posting "straw-man" comments is literally just you doing that, not the other way around. 1

HOUSE Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Taiwan Jones is very popular here today, he would be thrilled 1 1

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. I think Stevenson is definitely going to be here. We don't usually cut our 5th Draft Pick, his speed and return ability is something that we needed going into the Offseason, we need WR's for after this season (Sanders, McKenzie, Kumerow are all FA's and Cole could be a cap casualty) and he's flashed his ability quite a bit this preseason. And with a number of unvaccinated WR's that could be put on the list any given week - I think it's necessary to keep at least an extra guy there. I don't think we can risk him clearing waivers. Wildgoose I think will be released. Dane Jackson will take over Josh Norman's roster spot and Damar Hamlin will take over Dean Marlowe's. I don't see us changing anything else or keeping an extra guy. 1

And when those things are brought up, they don't want to hear it and argue back. And around and around we go 😆 1

Doesn't Wildgoose take Cam Lewis' roster spot then? Or was Cam not rostered most of the year? My memory is hazy on this.

The straw man argument is claiming that I, or others are claiming that Jones os a "gunner God," or that "he has to be on at all costs." The straw man argument I pointed that you made, "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," is something that literally no one is suggesting. That is the definition of a straw-man argument. You were arguing a point that no one was making, as if they were. And I mean no disrespect either. I generally love your posts, and respect your opinions. 1

Such a god tier gunner that he’s irreplaceable. Maybe they are just keeping him for Juju purposes? The last game he played against us, we all remember how that went. One reception in OT with a run after the catch which put them in FG range to win it.
The Wiz Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 So how soon can players that make the 53 be designated to IR? Do they have to wait for the start of the season or as long as they are part of the 53 they can go and we can start resigning players (assuming they don't have to clear waivers)?
