How many qbs period pick up the Canadian game and become stars period? Teams will always look for a qb where ever they can find them. Doesn't really matter what their age is, and honestly when guys are playing into their late 30s anyway does it matter if they get a late start up here?

Yup it will be a half a dozen one percenters sitting in their boxes with a few of their other one percenter ‘friends’ sitting in their luxury boxes in an empty arena while us minions sit at home yelling at the tv that we can hardly afford. Thanks for coming to my motivational speech.

What they're really doing is demonstrating how out of touch with reality they are. I could see a day where the world will no longer be able to afford pro - sports.

And that's all of them https://people.com/annette-dionne-dead-famous-quintuplets-the-great-depression-11876594?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_content=manual&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwY2xjawO9HbxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeY3PFVn_09TExcMaOKkp7rhyhbK3r5AwJ5spEgWalCNc5TMAJiISrwi81GFA_aem_j6dnrrIIbIp1sIRACyXcDQ

Schenn enters for Miller, a defenseman, the only change in the Jets' lineup from a 4-3 overtime loss at the Utah Mammoth on Sunday.

On Free Agent Frenzy there were just a couple players left... - Ehlers(left us) - Roslovic(left us before Ehlers) - Nyquist(someone wants me?) Players didnt want to come here after winning the Presidents Cup. Imagine bottom of the league and already a cap team and trying to get UFA's 😬

Woods is awful. Terrible is pass coverage and not a guy that makes any plays at the line either. He just played himself off the field on the worst D in the league the past three seasons. Yeah, let's sign him.

Just a random thought. If Chevy was relieved of his duties and a new GM was brought in and let’s assume he builds around our core of Helle, Shief, Connor and Morrissey, what changes in approach would we see from Chevy’s for the last several years? Maybe more aggressive on the trade market, Fa market cuz i don’t think he would stand pat obviously.

Tanking or no tanking ....how long before the stands start thinning out after watching this bull$hit performance...The effort isn't even there from most players...I thought this organization had gained a lot of self esteem after last year.....seems that's not the case and we've been reduced to the ranking of bottom feeder...Hard to watch

Not necessarily true...you analyze the roster and if a better canadian can supplant an American...or vice versa...make it happen/work...dont be a rigid clown forcing a round peg in a square hole...and we seen first hand here a lesser player playing before a better player..where ratio was not an issue...and how that pan out? With Osh at full control...we just have to accept and deal with the clown show with roster...maybe the last 4 yrs failure and the pathetic culmination of it all last yr he has had his eyes opened...or possibly a 5 upside the head from Miller and Walter to smarten up...

He could have played last half season..osh chose not to play him..I know for a fact he could have He's a legit talent who is starter capable and Canadian...why would u let him walk when still in his prime...injuries happen...just do...its not a indication he is damaged beyond any use...Look at Rene as a recent example Exactly...just cause guys arent familiar with him seems to have him over looked Was a legit difference maker as a starter as a rookie...not his fault he got hurt..who hasn't...and not his fault Osh wanted to roster his dud favorites over him last part of yr...he was ready...just like Parker 2 yrs ago was for almost 2 months before he got put back in...and good thing as he saved season that yr The gang here that just creams over Kramdi...if they got to see Makonzo play his spot will blow both nuts and likely pass out

Well I see scrooge has arrived on the scene. Love you. Go Blue!

Belated Merry Christmas to all So far, I like where this offseason has gone... Oliveria and Demski were great re-signings... Condell (while not my favourite choice) is a clear upgrade at OC... Jake moving to coaching is interesting... it'll certainly be addition by subtraction on the field... and he's a well-respected and smart guy, so who knows, maybe he'll make a better coach than player... I'd still like to see one big upgrade on the DL and the OL... the lines were our biggest downfall last year and I don't see any improvement there yet... though, obviously, it's too early for full assessments... It would be nice to get Elgersma here too, once his NFL opportunities dry up

Pruned some posts. Lets get the discussion back to football. Thanks.

the value of a canadian who can run with and cover wrs, not to mention has good size/strength and is capable of playing a gap. The rarity of those skills combined with the passport makes easily worth waiting for. The canadian talent pool in general is shakey. It’s a no risk high reward move to keep him around.

Basically what you're saying is that Arniel will tank the team just to get fired by Chevy & kill his NHL career. Meanwhile, Chevy wears a suit where nothing sticks to him as he's Chipman's Boy.

As far as rookie salary cap goes, why should I, as a fan, get excited about a 29 year old rookie in the CFL who was the UFL Player Of The Year? How many of these guys pick up the Canadian game & become stars at that age? Flutie was in his late 20's when he signed with the Lions in 1990. . Don Jonas was 30 when he signed with the Argos before he was traded to the Bombers & the leading passer in 1971 & 72. He became the Schenley's MOP in the CFL in 1971. Tom Wilkinson won the Schenley Award in 1975 as the CFL's MOP. Played in 8 Grey Cups & won 5 with Edmonton. Going back even further there was NFL Championship QB Tobin Rote who won the last NFL Championship Detroit in 1957 & signed as a free agent with the Argos in 1960. He threw for over 4000 yards which was unheard of back then. They're might have been a few more but the long & short of it is, older qbs really don't have a lot of success picking up the CFL game. Younger guys do. Look at the former UFL qb in Calgary who had a great couple of seasons in the USFL & UFL they signed. The guy came up to Calgary at age 29 for the last month of the 2024 season but never played for the Stamps. Then he was the backup qb behind Adams last season at 30 & played when Adams was injured. He never lit the CFL on fire in the only game he started. He even threw an interception late in the game to cost the Stamps a victory. Now, he's coming back at age 31 with a lot of question marls around whether he's the legit backup behind Adams. It's a crapshoot. These older qbs may have "experience" but not the CFL kind so they're as lost as any 21 year old rookie fresh out of college.

@Booch, why Mackonzo, guy has not played in a game or been healthy in about 2.5 years? Doesn't seem worth bringing in constantly injured players.

Wilson? Never heard of him.

CFL ratio rules means we don’t always get the best player. I’m sure you already knew that.

yeah....I remember Kelly dumping on Bob ,,,and 'Mr., being handled internally' slinked out of town trying to hide his mugshot.............. AND Bob...is still holding his head high

Some of the young guys on the DL. Castillo as well. Outside of Wilson & Demski I'd like them to recycle the rest of those guys out & rebuild the receiving corps. Offensive Line at Center needs help deaperately. Then the league never grows. There's little or no excitement anymore for any new players coming in. They're just retreads who hung around the NFL or UFL. Same old, same old.

Taking off the Blue tinted glasses ... I still have heard absolutely nothing but praise for Bob over the years and the word "legendary" usually attached to his name. I've never heard anyone (with exception of Mike Kelly) have a cross word or any sort of negativity attached to Bob.

Absolutely.....you don't tangle with a legend like Bob....Willson is coming across like a punk who needs his arse kicked

Yeah I get not wanting teams to pay rookies a crazy amount before they've done anything....but i think a system where each team can allocate up to$200k for a rookie would be a good start.
