signed peyton thorne. wow its going to be interesting to watch the qbs in camp. Mich state, auburn, played at good schools. Guy has incredible raw talent and athleticism. Easy smooth arm action with a good release. Very capable runner. He’s not really wired for high volume running. Great upside in a young guy.

Hope it's more than a depth signing. As in Center.

the value of a canadian who can run with and cover wrs, not to mention has good size/strength and is capable of playing a gap. The rarity of those skills combined with the passport makes easily worth waiting for. The canadian talent pool in general is shakey. It’s a no risk high reward move to keep him around.

Merry Christmas 🎅

Also writes for 3dn. Says he's originally from Regina but I guess he moved away very young because literacy is not their strong suit. https://3downnation.com/author/cwiles/

he actually runs a really good QB school....and is great with the x's and o's of things....He has got a lot of praise for his work with young QB's....so he would be a pretty good addition to the coaching staff as he rehabs....we gave Thomas a spot and he does pretty much zero in regards to coaching to this point

Did you not read the O'Shea quote? He's a nice guy and people like him.

plus brought in some good prospects for camp, and we’ve moved on from thomas. big win in my books so far.

Walters has brought back two elite Canadian starters for the offense in Brady and Demski, two potential starting Canadians on D in Lawson and Kramdi and an all star HB in Nichols. So far, I think his off-season work should be applauded not **** on.

We'll allow it. 😄

have been watching some 1997 Bomber games as CFL Classics has been posting them. Just watched the Toronto v. Bombers game where Reinebold rolled out Dexter Dawson as a DB. Pinball and Flutie absolutely pantsed him. (the offseason is so brutal I can't believe I'm watching 97 Bomber games to get my fix)

Reinebold was just a bad coach with a bad program. Kelly proved to be a terrible human being, blinded by wild arrogance.

kelly made a whole lot more than one mistake. I hope he finds a road to better mental health and stability. He certainly doesn’t deserve any thing from bomber fans. He left a far more significant black eye for the fan base and franchise than Reinbold. Jeff was a colossal screw up football ops wise, but atleast he was a good person who upheld the expectations that come with leadership.

Belated Merry Christmas to all So far, I like where this offseason has gone... Oliveria and Demski were great re-signings... Condell (while not my favourite choice) is a clear upgrade at OC... Jake moving to coaching is interesting... it'll certainly be addition by subtraction on the field... and he's a well-respected and smart guy, so who knows, maybe he'll make a better coach than player... I'd still like to see one big upgrade on the DL and the OL... the lines were our biggest downfall last year and I don't see any improvement there yet... though, obviously, it's too early for full assessments... It would be nice to get Elgersma here too, once his NFL opportunities dry up

Why is Willson employed? Reading his other posts he's extremely childish and acts like a baby whenever anyone calls him out. Get rid of him ASAP.

If Kramdi makes the tackle, the Lions have time to kick the fg for the win. Obviously doesn’t make him a hero just funny how it worked out. Yeah feel for both Parker and Bonds. Showed lots of promise and had the tools… honestly I wonder how many burns could be attributed to our pathetic d-line use hanging them out to dry.

100%. Dirty Sanchez was player I absolutely detested and I don't feel like letting that go. 😂

I frown in remembrance of Carlton Agudosi

His QB school that he runs in the US.....?

It’s actually so weird to me that people are worried about Jake as a positional coach lol nobody has any clue if he’s got what it takes or not and we weren’t whining when Miller got a far more important role then again Miller isn’t a slow, fat whipping boy so I guess there’s that

And it's been said over and over again that Jake is one of the smartest guys in the room, especially the Xs and Os... Just because he can't do the thing at the same level anymore doesn't mean he can't teach things. I have high hopes for him... Starting at a lower level assistant coach position is perfect.

Thanks Debbie, you should be a motivational speaker.

I guess this means the Riders cannot sign any more players in free agency since they paid one guy a big contract. As per the experts on this site.

Well if it means clipping some returnee's and or not resigning some currently unsigned guys from last yr..so be it...

Hutchins...Hardy..Broxton..McManus...get er done...and we be rolling...if it fits toss in Hicks too That be my gameplan

Good point, he was practicing since like LD iirc. I think it is always worth having Canadians like that. I'd take as many lotto ticket flyers on Canadians with upside as I could get. Generally, you are lucky to have a couple of guys in the draft who have decent athleticism and size that could be polished into Ss if they fulfill their potential. True cover guys, little on Sam's, are rare and valuable. They get a LOT of leash to figure out if they have any thing left too. BLM, Zach, and Harris are all great examples of that. All 3 looked fully cooked for more than a little while and managed to get back to being good. Khari was like 29 when he broke in with us, too. But you have far better chances of developing a QB who is in his late 20s when he gets up here than a kid out of college these days. The NFL is all over every single archetype at QB. No longer do they exclude system guys, or none pro offense guys. So, the kids we get access to who have 1 NFL TC or less are generally really lackluster. https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/12/23/new-title-same-jake/ Tait with another gem. Some interesting tidbits jump out at me. It sounds to me like he wanted to continue to play, and we weren't going to bring him back. I had a really good exit meeting with Osh (head coach Mike O’Shea). At that point, I was still kind of planning on continuing playing if that was possible. Then a few weeks went by after the Grey Cup and we just kind of continued our conversation and he let me know there was a chance that this opportunity would be available.

He could have played last half season..osh chose not to play him..I know for a fact he could have He's a legit talent who is starter capable and Canadian...why would u let him walk when still in his prime...injuries happen...just do...its not a indication he is damaged beyond any use...Look at Rene as a recent example Exactly...just cause guys arent familiar with him seems to have him over looked Was a legit difference maker as a starter as a rookie...not his fault he got hurt..who hasn't...and not his fault Osh wanted to roster his dud favorites over him last part of yr...he was ready...just like Parker 2 yrs ago was for almost 2 months before he got put back in...and good thing as he saved season that yr The gang here that just creams over Kramdi...if they got to see Makonzo play his spot will blow both nuts and likely pass out

Taking off the Blue tinted glasses ... I still have heard absolutely nothing but praise for Bob over the years and the word "legendary" usually attached to his name. I've never heard anyone (with exception of Mike Kelly) have a cross word or any sort of negativity attached to Bob.

May 2026 be glorious for the Blue and Gold.

A 2026 WBB Grey Cup championship was under my tree!

Reminds a bit of kenny lawler. Tremendous hands and ability to catch contested balls win 50/50 and pay the physical price to get big possession catches. He tested a bit better than lawler but i don’t see him running open much. Great body control, positional awareness, and the size to go with it. I love the football iq when his qb breaks the pocket and how he comes back to the ball. How he adapts to our game and if he can get open vs pro dbs are the big questions. Very good prospect for us.

like this...and interesting.....he was available because essentially nobody wanted to have to deal with the 6 game suspension if signed so the way the NFL churns guys over wasnt worth the wait....could be a real good score for us tho Real good in making tough catches...actual hand catcher, and as a big bodied guy actually eats up a lot of space quickly.....kind of guy ZC would thrive with in regards to some his ducks he tends to throw deep now

From prison or Bombers?

Too bad about Parker as I believe injuries kept him from being really good. That said given his injury history, I am ok with them moving on. When does Dillon Mitchell get officially released?

Philip Rivers ahown here throwing his first TD against the Boston Redskins on September 29, 1935.

Yup...Safe and happy holiday season....and the the best moving forward....hopefully on the feild too!

Merry Christmas, fam! Here's to a return to glory in 2026!

Yes - Merry Christmas to all!

Who the heck is Coty Wiles?

I want the best player...

hhaha....if someone like I can...you can too...we will work on it together 😁

“- 0 drops on 88 targets in 2023, great ball skills“ the knock on him is a big slow coming out of the breaks but man if he can master the waggle. Also doesn’t make anybody miss after making the catch. Good be a great endzone target especially starting in 2027 when the endzone is smaller and the goalposts are gone.

Going back over the years and looking back at the hold out names we drafted, that didn't work out, how about the obvious one sitting on the tsn panel Henoc Muamba....We wined and dined the guy and his family...bent over backwards to sign him ,then he did a tour of the CFL AND suddenly signed with Montreal....I still have problems with this guy, whenever I see him mouthing it up on games
