Ya this was a few days ago.... Definitely would have liked him here.

KeeSean Johnson re-signs for two years in SK- $215k and $220k. That’s a steal.

It was a "brief illness" - there's a really virulent flu strain going around this year that's been taking down a lot of elderly people I know. No one has died from it but they've had to be hospitalized.

I don't think coaching will help him much. He's just not a particularly good passer.

I like Ford he has more tools than Streveler ever did. Im just not sure we can afford the salary And yes I think he could be qb2 just needs some proper coaching

He's never been the model of lean and mean, but not many DTs are. The guy played with heart, and worked hard as a player. Not sure why there is so much vitriol when his name is mentioned....or at least why it's being directed towards him.

As a QB he serves no purpose to any team right now. One could argue 3rd string, but I'd rather have a guy who hasn't washed out at that position.

Also the whole "he's a giant fat mess" thing somehow got stuck in him. Have you ever seen him in person? He really isn't. He's just built like a whiskey barrel...

I read he was afraid he would meet the same fate as his father which was dying early

Bring him in as our running specialist QB (not QB2, not just short yardage), sub him in games creatively to keep the D on their heels. Have a legitimate full package QB2 who can pass and do short yardage effectively. Salary cap can go suck it. 🙂

How did he earn the stigma and bias against him? What specifically did he do? I get that his usage was awful, but how is that on him? Imo, he is being unfairly criticized for playing a role that his coaches asked of him. He signed a contract and went on the field when he was told to do so. We can hate the role he played but now it is carrying over into dislike for him personally and that isn't fair for us to do.

I'm not a Schitts Creek person at all, but she's an absolute icon of Canadiana. SCTV and Home Alone are what I associate her with most. Jeeze... 71 is just WAY too young unless there's some kinda underlying illness, but she's been really active with The Studio, and it sure didn't seem like she was having any issues.

I've read a John Candy biography and watched two different documentaries. His family had a history of heart disease, and he was a smoker, heavy drinker who was morbidly obese. He wasn't going to make it much past 43. She was a main character on the show "The Studio" on Apple TV with fellow Canadian Seth Rogan. They were just starting production on Season 2 so this is probably going to cause a lot of issues as she would have had a part in every script.

Knowing the stories I've heard about him, it makes me sad he left early too.

It's tough because he does have the raw abilities. I'd feel way more comfortable with him being a 3rd stringer... I wouldn't want to invest in him being a backup though.

Catherine O’Hara, Canadian actor and 'Schitt’s Creek' star, dead at 71 This just plain sucks. She was so amazing. First Joe Flaherty, now her. We're down to just Martin Short, Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy from SCTV still with us. Good to see Andrea Martin working with Martin Short in "Only Murders in the Building".

As a Canadian it is almost a requirement to watch classic SCTV sketches. She was great in them. She was fantastic in Schitts Creek and I assume her biggest role were the Home Alone movies. What's crazy is that I saw on social media last week the clip of her in the John Candy documentary talking about having dreams of John and asking him why he had to leave so early. I guess she finally can see her friend again.

I agree. I'd add that he has completely earned the stigma and bias against him. But I think the floor is very high for a replacement, given how we have struggled to coach and develop talent on the DL. The verdict is out on Jake as a coach, but I am not really worrying about him.

Thanks for all the laughs, joys and comforts you brought us you talented woman you.

No matter how hard I tried I could never get into Nightmare before Christmas I enjoyed her in Both Beetlejuice films though

Would have to come fairly cheap tho.

Keep the man upright, give him an extra steamboat, establish the run with monster BO, have an aggressive non predicatable OC by spreading the ball around short, medium and long, use the QB2 creatively and bam here we go who cares about our D 50+ points scored every game easy peasy.

I agree totally that he was an obstacle as a player. That, however, has absolutely nothing to do with my post. Some people, without seeing any results whatsoever are pegging him as a bust as a coach. That assessment can only be created by a massive bias against him.

Yep, all-purpose back, see if he can run any kind of route or screens, motion packs etc. I'd teach him to handle kick-offs, even be a timing rusher off the edge to block kicks. And use him as the sneak guy. You could either roster him as the 3rd qb and use him as a flex player all over the rest of the field, or you could roster him as an RB, and carry 3 imp QBs. There is a whole lot you can do with a guy that dynamic. QB to S is a strange but surprisingly effective swap for athletic guys as well.
