He has a QBR in the 70s without Lapo and a QBR around 100 with Lapo. I'm no fan of Lapo, but I live in reality. Lapo made the guy's career. He was a limited QB. When he was gunslinging he was almost 1:2 TD to turnover ratio with significant fumbling issues on top of INTs. Having a QB who could threaten teams vertically gave us the win in 19 behind that, Harris and the D. We don't beat Calgary and Sask on the road without that.

For sure. I think in some cases the annoyance comes from not what they're saying but how they're saying it. (See bolded)

Don't forget the actual players to include here.

McGhee being cut so early is a surprise.

I know some people get ruffled feathers over this. But the vast majority of guys who come to the CFL, especially when they're young feel this way. The CFL isn't the goal.

Jeeze I hope that attitude is just his way of hyping himself up cause id that's his honest assessment of himself....

Ive had Dunkin in the U.S. and their donuts are a thousand times better than Tim Hortons. Quite similar to Krispy Kreme.

Some quotes from Gatkuoth: “I did everything I could,” Gatkouth told The Denver Gazette. “I put my best film on tape. The Broncos already have a great outside linebacker group, so it was hard to get signed there. But I feel like I had a dominant three days and it worked out like it worked out. So, now Im going to the CFL to just dominate. “… Honestly, I have right now all the confidence in the world. My confidence has shot up a hundred times, just me going out there and dominating all three days has really boosted my confidence and I know I can play in the NFL. It’s not an if, it’s a when if I just keep working.” Well he definitely has confidence in himself. If he was that dominant you would think he would have stuck with the Broncos. It sure sounds like he feels the CFL is just a stepping stone. Hopefully he comes in with a good attitude and not a "im better than this place" chip on his shoulder. Might rub some guys the wrong way.

Yeah McGhee is definitely a surprise after running with the starters. Interesting.

From Ed Tait: The @Wpg_BlueBombers release: DBs Michael Dixon, Jordan Taylor, Alijah McGhee, DL Eric Black, LB Aaron Smith, receiver Jahmal Banks, OL Joe More, Tariq Stewart. Slightly surprised by McGhee, who had been working with the starters and whom I wrote about - oops -- yesterday. Smith and Banks don’t surprise me. Smith got bullied in the drills I saw and Banks might be big and strong but was a poor route runner. He looked stiff.

Cfl rookie salary was ALWAYS a tough sell. NIL makes it tougher. However, at the end of the day nothing has changed for those chasing the NFL dream. We are the only credible league that offers fans in the stands, a chance to play decent football and get decent tape. A few guys, because of NIL, may give the UFL a longer look but seeing their garbage on field product most guys will realize their chance at quality film is almost non existent

They have a glass cabinet that is maybe 4 feet wide that contains everything. It is also a full size restaurant also, so it's not like a kiosk. Tim is phasing out soups and pastries in certain areas of the country and are moving towards more of the flatbreads and bowls. Baaaaaaaack in my youth, Tim Hortons would actually have a wide variety. I hope Dunkin donuts can come and offer such crazy items such as a "double chocolate, maple dip or vanilla dip donut" for which Tims no longer offers in each location. Maybe even crazy things such as the powdered donuts.

Yeah NIL money is why guys like Pavia are more than happy to spend 6-7 years in college. Next to the NFL, it's their best bet to make big money.

Danny Mac on the impact of the NIL on the CFL. Interesting.

Wasn't his leg... This is what I remember:

Iirc he was a real **** too. Got involved later in some pump n dump stuff.

The only people wrong are the two taking a hard line on either side. There's plenty of blame to go around everyone from Walters on down to the coordinators...

Well my biggest memory or matt nichols prior to the Bombers is his leg bending at an angle legs don't bend at and then with a gimped shoulder from his time as a bomber. But we see it everywhere. Guys start out making throws everywhere on the field and then as the years progress with lapo they give up the middle and it's either a deep shot or check downs and usually an injury somewhere along the way.

On the never ending who is to blame, MOS or KW, I once again say

Seems like a cool idea....

you mean they don't stock the cookies or the dream donuts? I know it's probably going to end up on the IKEA end (I think there's room in McPhillips too)

Now is the time for them to come back. Tim Hortons continually kills the brand and keeps eliminating items that made them successful in the first place, if Dunkin can come in and offer a variety with decent coffee then they should do well. The offerings at Tim near my house is embarrassing (i.e. plain, honey dip, chocolate dip, and if lucky a few other donuts that change every month).

Yeah Matt Nichols lit the world on fire with other OC's.
