Being a qb coach really helped the transition. He loves helping kids get to the next level at high school. A lot of his guys have got scholarships. The hamstring injury was serious. He didn't have surgery because the team doctor at SFU misdiagnosed the injury. If he had surgery, he might have recovered to play again at 100%. Maybe he would have redshirted. It happened in January 2015 going into his senior year so he'd have had 9 months to recover. He'd have missed spring camp only. It was a hard thing for him to go through. Not being able to run at full speed.

You just slapped every Canadian who has played CIAU, CIS or U Sports the past 70 years. As if, having some random Canadian qb "making it" onto a PR or even 3rd string on a roster (but will never actually play in the NFL on merit) suddenly legitimizes everything these players have/will accomplish. BTW, tell Russ Jackson or Joe Poplawski they were never legitimate players.

Other than the fact that high glove = guaranteed goal. He hasn't been the same this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bench for the Olympics.

What an odd thing to say on a discussion forum designed specifically for the expression of thoughts and feelings

Whites okay but I'd sure like a guy about 3 or 4" taller than him...

wonder what it’d take. 250k last year. 4 1k seasons in a row. Been very steady, excellent yac guy, would be great in a sweep package

I'll take White.

Arneil not happy... Neither is most of jet's Nation ...

We need 2 starting wrs. I would’ve loved if one of them was Hardy. Even at that 200k range. Hardy isn’t a long term answer, but right now we are desperate for 2 strong short term answers

Yikes

Yep, even more so for those 4* plus kids. those guys have grown up hearing they are going to be nfl stars since they are 12-14. If that doesn’t wake them up and get them playing like their career depends on it nothing will. Some super talented kids fall into a trap of doing all the small things coaches ask, at the expense of doing the things that will get them to the next level. Very nearly 100% of playing careers and in heart ache. No matter the level. And a huge portion of those have injuries driving them.

Hellebuck is useless if puck goes above his sight line. Relies ways too much on his positioning. Gave up ways too fast on that last goal.

At a guy turning 35 this year ? Good player but wouldn’t be my first target. Seems like he signed at a reasonable deal to stay in Ottawa.

well I almost never get to use this one but now I can

Booo that would have been the guy I'd want to throw money at.

We've got like no receivers signed.... we should have a boatload of money to sign guys at that position

It's tough when a player reaches the end of the line but wants to keep playing especially college age kids. Usually a coach tells them it's over or injuries catch up.. Which is what happened to my son. An off season hammy tear was the end for him. He went from running a 4.6 forty as a junior & taking off with the ball to being a pylon as a qb runninga 5.4 forty in his senior year at SFU. When he went to the combines after his final season in 2015, he couldn't run or cut. He knew it was over... He had to face that. It wasn't easy. His hammy still gives him trouble. Surgery at some point is down the line.

Of course the Wings get the first PP, after the refs ignored multiple infractions against the Jets.

I hope we do. We have massive needs at DL and WR. We cant fill them like we tried to last year either.

I'm assuming we don't have the cash to pay for the top receivers in FA. I just hope we don't bring in injury proned guys or guys who have fell off and in need of a one year prove it deal.

he couldn’t put up worse numbers than last year. just doing better won’t remotely mean he earns that money. If he produces at a rate equal to the last two years in one this year, he will be a solid value. idk I can’t see teams paying wj on hopes he regains his level of play from 3 years ago. he’d look real good in blue n gold

absolutely. it is. but you bring in 15-20 guys like this each camp and the ones who don’t cut it are first gone and gone in rookie camp. Football is so intensely dependant on raw athleticism and talent, if you can add or develop one strong intangible like football iq, motor, etc you have a quick riser. I mean this is why college teams are always all over track/basketball practices. very true. and the reality of falling out of the nfl window is a big learning opportunity. those guys always believe that their talent/athleticism will carry to a shot and they will win a spot. even though the reality is very different. Realizing that and facing the end of a career they thought would carry them can bring out a different animal.

Yup they are long over due, especially the fans who stuck with them during the lean years not the ones who say oh they’re doing good now time to replace the jersey I threw away.

Detroit Dead Things had a long run.
