So...Who is getting TD's roster spot?

[Future of the Funchise]

wait... what the hell? why are we giving away TD's roster spot. What happened?

[Cat'sGrowl]

that wasn't the topic though. if we are one or two players away from making a run, then yeah, you sign a bigger name. still in rebuilding mode, no need to get away from that.

Yes, yes it was the topic. when you lose a player of TD's caliber you look to replace him a player as close to his level of talent as possible. Not some practice squad project. I'm loving this silly notion that just because ESPN doesn't talk about us that the team has no desire to win for 3 years.

We are trying to win, and we are trying to do it now, and the FA signings we keep making keep proving that.

That stupid idea that plagues some of the fanbase that they use an excuse for every loss has got to die. The moves we keep making are directly contradictory to it, our play calling is as well, yet they keep ignoring it and saying silly stuff like that.

This is what I was thinking while reading this.

That's exactly the topic- look at the title of the thread.

You need people who can play, if they make more sense than someone who wasn't good enough to make the 53 man roster initially then you sign someone who can come in and play right away. Especially now that their salaries aren't guaranteed.

Nevermind, just saw that Thomas Davis tore his ACL.....again. :frown2:

after reading the topic AGAIN.... who gets TD's roster spot? I gave you where I thought the player would come from. I dont even have cable so I dont follow whats ESPN says, I'm just giving reasonable logic, something some of you people have lost. Why even create the thread if you already pretend to know? What, you seriously think we are a playoff caliber team right now? Child please.

So wait, the title of the thread is says "who gets TD's roster spot?" but actually means "who do we really want to sign for his spot disregarding reality?" My bad. I predict a PS promotion as highest probability. That was my answer, but of course we could sign a FA.

[MadHatter]

practice squad promotion, thats why theyre there

That is NOT necessarily why they are there.

You put a young guy on the practice squad becuase you think he has enough talent that you can develop him over time. It does not necessarily mean that he is the "next in line" for the active roster.

A scrub.

The best thing this team can do right now is recognize that Anderson is now the best LB on the defense. Therefore he needs to be on the weakside for the rest of the season, where he can be a playmaker. We need to sign the best available strongside linebacker and plug him in Anderson's old spot.

What the hell does being a playoff caliber team have to do with anything? It's not like these guys are big money guys who are going to put us over the top.

And you dare fault someone else's logic?

Get real dude.

Rebuilding or not, we're trying to win games, not just give guys reps to improve.

It typically did during the Fox era. I guess he's having trouble distinguishing the two. You think the two older free agents we signed last week over practice squad would speak volumes to his manufactured "reality"

okay then who doctor genius? i say we promote a PS player then obviously we would still have to replace that spot with a FA. Until you come up with an original thought, chill out. You almost contradict yourself in that last ingenious statement.
