Quote:Yes, every player is ultimately expendable in the league.  Still, you don't trade a player away without knowing you've got a viable replacement on the roster.  Right now there's no guarantee any of these rookies will fill that role.

 

Regarding the rest, it's only a personal insult if it's false.  Ask TMD what he does for a living besides aspiring to design t-shirts and deliver potato chips to grocery stores.  Noble professions all, but none offer him the kind of expertise required to run an NFL franchise. 

 

You say I stalk his posts.  If you are checking out my profile, I'm going to assume you've got some background in the whole stalking thing. 

 

Finally, a Shorts for Boone trade would certainly be appealing to Jaguar fans.  Not so much to the 49ers. 

Interesting and laughable.  Point by point:

 

"Right now there's no guarantee any of these rookies would fill that role."   Can you please point out what positions on our roster for which we do have current guarantees of role performance for in the coming seasons?   I hope it is for some of the good players...  Can you at least guarantee us that Cecil plays 10 games this year? You mentioned TMD needing a dictionary a few posts back - you may want to crack open one yourself and check the definition of guarantee.  We have zero guarantees for the performance of any player on the roster, by definition.

 

"It's only a personal insult if it's false."  Really?  Please grab your dictionary and look up both slander and libel.  The argument that you are making would be correct, if you were making a defense for either slander or libel.  The old saying, "the truth is the pure defense" is a defense for slander and libel, but has absolutely nothing to do with making personal insults.  Quick example to make your poor logic a little clearer:  Let's say that a member of the message board has AIDS.  If I make fun of them after each post for having AIDS, under your logic this would not be a personal insult, because it would be true.  Sounds silly right?  A personal insult has nothing to do with whether it is true or not.  Some of the most painful insults are painful just because they are true.   Again, please grab the dictionary that you ask others to grab.  It would help you sound a lot more intelligent, which I am sure that you are.  Maybe just getting a little lazy or you are tired after making so many posts.

 

"You say I stalk posts but blah blah blah but you are the stalker."  If your definition of stalker is the guy who clicks on your Archie Bunker picture to see how you described yourself, in your own words, to the board - then you are correct I am a stalker.   My definition must be wrong then - because I think it has something more to do with you making literally thousands of posts within minutes of another poster because you have an agenda against that poster.  But what do I know?  You must be correct so I heartfully beg for your forgiveness.

 

"Finally, A shorts for Boone trade would be appealing to Jaguars fans...Not so much to the 49ers"  I pretty much agree with that - my point had nothing to do with Boone's value vs Cecil.  Not having watched many San Fran games, I really do not have an opinion of Boone - my point was simply that any player (Cecil included) is expendable and could be easily replaced.  In the words of Vic Ketchman... receivers are just a dime a dozen.   Reading comprehension my friend - it's really cool and can sometimes be helpful when making arguments.

 

As an aside, I am really curious to know what you do for a living since you spend so much time making fun of other people's careers.  Heart Surgeon for premature infants?  President of some impressive country?  Fortune 500 CEO?  I am sure that it is pretty awesome, I just want to know what it is so that I can give proper respect to you on your future posts.  

 

I'll take your response off the air.  Go Jags!
