PFT: Owners to Consider Increase in Gameday Lineup

[COWBOYSNUM1]

I don't like it. I prefer the roster spots to be highly competitive.

The roster spots would still be highly competitive. It's competitive to make the final 53 man roster. What does competition have to do with who is inactive. There were several times last year Parcells spoke about deciding about who would stay and who would go according to who we were playing that week.

there is no reason you cannot do all that with all players active. Just because they are on the active roster means nothing. the inactive thing is just a smokescreen. You can cut or sign players just as well. As regards injuries, there is no reason to do anything other then what is being done now. The inactive/active thing is just not a credible idea anymore.

Geez Burm -- that's your argument? I thought you wanted a debate but all you came up with was "nuh-uh"

Aber- there is no reason that they cannot change the rules so that everything you do now as regards active, inactive cannot be done with a full active roster. Just say that your top 48 is protected- the last 5 are not. You can change that any week. But in the meantime any of the 53 can be used in the game.

so you want a spate of new rules that would have to be in place to accomplish the goals achieved by the old rules?

You refuse to see the point as usual. All players on a roster should be available on game day. If you will not see that that is your fault.

Woooooooooooo. Two more spots. Oh the strategies this opens up.

Exactly. What are two extra spots? Answer: nothing. Veto this proposal and wait for someone to suggest dressing all 53 on gameday.

This seems to be a good idea....

I provided several arguments for why the rule is in place and what would happen if you increased the availables to 53. But you totally ignore that in place of the "because I said so" argument. There is a reason for the rule. You refuse to see that point. As usual.
