I still don't see this as a loophole but as a different keeper issue altogether. As I mentioned before, PcB's move comes at no one else's expense. I also don't see it as douchebaggery. I might have done the same thing PcB did had I been thinking of it--and I certainly would not see it as underhanded. I really don't understand why this would bother people. Particularly--and again I had forgotten this--since Gordon is suspended for the first four games.

 

But like I said earlier, I'd vote for a keeper deadline to keep this from being an issue in the future. So if there are two votes to be counted, mine are

 

1: PcB gets to keep Gordon

2: Starting this year, we establish a keeper deadline 

 

I think you're debating semantics.

 

There's no question that we already had rules in place to deal with a similar, albeit not identical, issue (claiming IR players).

 

There seems to be no dispute that what PcB did is a problem that at least needs to be prevented going forward.

 

As far as I'm concerned that neatly fits the definition of a loophole, but I don't care if you call it such.

Nope, nope, nope. There is definitely a dispute here. I've kind of made that clear many times over. And similar rules don't mean the same rule at all. This isn't simply a semantic dispute. There is an issue with the Ace situation that doesn't exist with the PcB situation. I'm fine if a keeper deadline is put in place, but my vote for it should not be construed as advocating that picking up Gordon and keeping him in the 7th round is a problem that needs to be solved. My vote for the deadline would be mainly so people who are bothered by it wouldn't get a chance to be bothered by it in the future.

 

 

The point is simply that if, as is the case, there is a consensus to prevent this issue going forward and there's a way to deal with it this time without hurting PcB (beyond whether or not he can keep Gordon), I see no reason to effectively make an exception this time.

 

Here's one reason: if this really i such a big deal, why did this escape notice until a few days before the draft? If PcB didn't ask the question on the board, we'd be debating the issue mere hours before the draft, which seems to me to be a crappy time to tell him "no dice" when the transaction happened 8-9 months ago.

 

Besides that, I still insist that there's a real difference between Ace's situation and this one and have heard to evidence to convince me of otherwise.

 

I have no idea why I'm going to the mat for PcB here, as it can only be detrimental to my (and everyone else's) team, other than I honestly don't see the logic of your argument on this one, Kid. I don't mean to be difficult, but I can't see how this is the same situation and why you care so much if it will be "resolved" (for those who feel it needs to be) anyway going forward.
