.................and some Jets too.

my hope is that the biggest reason we picked him and did it early was we liked the intangibles from the interview and conversations with his coach. If the kids soft skills are as good as his raw arm talent, he’s got as good a chance as it gets. I don’t expect any thing of value on the field this year from him. I’m hoping he shows a bit more of what he did in nfl pre season, but mainly that he shows great strides between now and next years camp.

Obviously I hope TE turns into Rourke but I just can't imagine a world where a CIS QB has the ability of an NCAA Div 1 kid.... But... Maybe TE is the best CIS QB of all time? Time will tell.

We * out **** but not boner. lol TE will be Rourke 2.0 but better. One can hope. No harm no foul.

A number of Bombers sitting cageside for UFC Winnipeg. I see Patty, Wallace, Eli, Demki, Oliveira and Walters.

He looks the part...passed they "eye test" curious tho as why nobody kept him around for at least a yr to develop tho...guess we will see first hand in a month...maybe he doesn't have the aptitude or process ability at pro level...maybe back to the game he knows we reap the rewards...I pulling for him but with very tempered view

What?

The reality is that we have had multiple can't-miss quarterbacks come into camp and flame out, so the odds are against Elgersma. That several NFL teams thought highly enough of him to bring him in is reason for optimism but certainly no guarantee, but if you are a Bomber fan, you live on hope.

oh look Koepke is staying

Nailed it. When Ajous suspension is up, how long before the als sign him? I Bet they already made the call lol

I think this is a great point if TE sticks around and maybe that is how ZC progresses into coaching.

When a professional athlete like CH signs a long term contract I’m assuming before he signs he gets some assurances from management and ownership that they are fully committed to winning. Fair. And if they show they aren’t as time progresses then a discussion is needed. However time it has been only one season that has passed since winning the Presidents trophy and there are no guarantees in winning so needed patience, persistence, individual/team accountability and commitment to the ultimate goal is mandatory. So being the highly skilled conceited questionable self aware prick that he is, I’m thinking he is less focussed on this and more of the it’s everything and everyone else are the problems so when winning doesn’t happen predictably the real CH shows up thru exit interviews and such. Being probably the overall best player on the Jets do we want him highly influencing the culture of this team. True leadership comes out when the seas are angry not calm. CH is a great example that simply being a highly skilled athlete in a specific skill, in this case goaltending, does not make you competent in other areas that doesn’t involve goaltending. I’ll step down from my soap box now.

No don't trade him for a bag of pucks. Good grief, this is why we can't have nice things. I am for trading him if we can get some big value back, AND we have someone coming up behind him. Now would be a good time to maximize value for him for sure.

he wasnt really made to kick anything over 40 yards...thats what...his consecutive streak record the league blkathered on about was a load of horsepiss as he kicked what...5 maybe over 40+ yards? confidence dropped when made to kick real FG's....basically

agreed...should b....better be....and if it's not based on Walter's work....then cutting the head off the coaching aspect who is the one in charge of roster...player retention and deletions....game day preparedness and adjusting has to be done...and basically confirms where the main issues lie....and I'd do it in the last 3rd of the season if we on outside looking up....and get the head start going into Grey Cup week to let any interested parties know we in the market....or do our own back channel tampering...as it's a common thing anyway so for us not o do it is just dumb For now will give the benefit of the doubt based on moves and guys we moved on from...coaches we didnt retain (tho one is still lingering around...and god knows why) Now was that all Walter's doing and removing temptations?...guess we shall see when final roster is posted after TC and how the first 3 or so games go and if it's just becoe the same ol same ol...just with a new cast of characters I am skeptically optimistically at current, and think maybe some have learned finally and its adapt/evolve...or die...we shall see....but looking forward to camp and intend to try and get there several times to see first hand...I have no faith and trust in the media based on what I see from them when there...and what I read after the fact...and Tait's articles albeit a good read and well done, and enjoyable...are a lot of fluff pieces based on his marching orders

That's a low bar.

Seems his confidence level dropped and a few shanks will do that....I think he's still a competent kicker but with all of this global kicking talent spilling into the market, you better be on your game ...plus

Trade him for a bag of hockey pucks. No place for egomaniacs on this team. And ,what has he proved beyond the regular season?

I'm fine with him saying the team was ****... I'm fine if he wants to call people out behind closed doors.... I'm not good with blaming everyone else publicly and saying it was in no way your own fault. Oi.

Works very well for Tommy Stevens

It's revenue, not profit. Their TV deal alone is reportedly worth around 20 million so they do seem to meet that criteria.

Saw some of the exit interview with him, he’s a conceited prick, great professional goaltender but still a conceited prick. This is why some professional athletes should not be idolized, they provide great entertainment but that’s where the appreciation should end for athletes like him.

How we feeling about #1 goalie PUBLICLY throwing everyone else under the bus and saying "not my fault..." ??

Its been a long off season but there's reason to believe that maybe this season will be better than the last.

Got any cheeeeeeessse?
