Agree to disagree. They're not different than any other group in the league. Every front office in the CFL can identify talent. A lot of things went right for the riders last year, odds of it happening again after losing a bunch of players? Remains to be seen. Ultimately cfl basically comes down to quarterbacking and the riders are relying on a 40 year old dude there....

Lawler had a very good season, but I’d take Hatcher’s consistency and 1,700 yards if I could choose one of them.

you're right, you do post a lot and it would be almost impossible for me to find something from over a year ago... but the context was basically that he took responsibility for not having the team ready prior to a loss... you (and others) said just taking responsibility wasn't good enough and that he should resign if he really meant it... I'll admit, I can't remember if it was resign or be fired And yes, we all took great pleasure in beating the piss out of Dunk's super team, lol... that's one thing we'll never disagree about 😄

Withn Tim White, Nic Demski, Tommy Nield & Ontaria Wilson having Lawler now would have been the icing on the cake. Not only would we have spread the ball around but we also would have had the best deep ball receiver in the CFL. That's the missing piece on offense right now.

you're right... signing Lawler would've added a few "wow" moments to our offense... having him may have led to more points and maybe an extra win... but his presence wouldn't have fixed our OL issues or DL issues or overall ineptitude of our offense... what's done is done... last year is a throw away (IMO) and let's look forward to getting back this year....

Uhh, no. Sorry. I post a lot here. So, unless you can give me better context than that I have no idea what you're talking about. To me, Dunk is a Ti Cat fan. As a fan that's who he wants them to sign more than anthing. Remember when Dunk used to call the Ti Cats the CFL's "Super Team" & then we'd hand their asses back to them in the 2019 & 21 Grey Cups?

So have I. At numerous stags in various stages of drunkeness half a century ago.... It was so long ago we had to use a projector. It seemed funnier when it was played backwards.

what a weird statement by Dunk... I'm pretty sure 7 other teams have also wanted McManis playing for them for years... Ceresna is a better DE... and he's not even a DE, lol... I have no hate for Vaughters, he was OK last year... he would probably benefit from playing across from a star... and I'm not sure he'll have that in his new home remember not that long ago you were saying Mace should be fired for taking responsibility for a loss??

No no but a friend has.

It's not about convincing. It's in their DNA, you know, science.

Have you even seen that movie?

Do you remember just how bad & undisciplined the Riders were under Craig Dickenson? He stood up for Garrett Marino who was a thug on the field & run out of the league. Duke Williams spit on an Argo & while injured off the Rider roster that same season took a swing at a Blue Bomber who ran out of bounds at the Rider bench right beside Dickenson. I don't recall much of a controversy at Mace's media conference when he was hired as Rider HC. Or if he even said that. Players should have to make the team on merit. Not entitlement. We've seen that going on here for 12 years. We lost our fair share of players over the past 3 off seasons leading up to this one. The flip side is if you keep playing OTH veterans like Thomas & Kolankowski it creates a log jam & younger players who deserve it can't get on the field. They end up leaving at the end of their contract anyway. The older players keep signing because they want to keep playing & know that anywhere else they'd be cut. So, they re-sign these loyalty "cap friendly" deals. I don't get your criticism of Mace. He's just doing his job.

And I always thought it was Debbie does Dallas.

Stealth research has found a picture of JGD

I saw a report early this morning that he was getting ready to sign with the Tiger Cats. Haven't read anything since. mauldin wasted his best years in a shitty organization with the RedBlacks. he should have bailed while he had the chance at his peak. Chose no to. Now, his career is roadkill.

All receiving are inconsistent when they are very young. Ajou got an NFL contract for a reason and DDB has all the potential in the world. Wiebe will be interesting as well, hope he's not too small.

No I am not overly concerned about our losses yesterday as our personal department is very good at identifying talent. Heck we have already gotten rid of 2 of our biggest weaknesses last year, Lauther and Alford. This time last year nobody knew who Tom Nield, Joe Robistelli, and Baldonado were. Heck many were laughing when we re-signed Carney last offseason.

Yes, it would definitely have helped. No way of knowing what kind of contributions he may have made. He actually stayed healthy last year and was by far, the best receiver in the league. Hard to come with a reason that wouldn't have helped. You say "wow what a catch by Kenny Lawler" like it's a bad thing. Those kind of grabs change games.

Cuz they are dumbasses.

Coach and assistant gm. Either or. He would have been gm and Chevy the president of hockey ops by now.

The Riders could sign every free agent and win 14 straight Grey Cups and they would still suck. That is just a fact. I don't know why Rider fans come on here thinking they can convince us otherwise.
