FYP to include only the relevant part. 
I'm not sure why people expected a 23 yr old tender to be a legit #1 with no hiccups along the way. Seems like a problem with expectations, not with the goalie himself per se.  IMO Jets biggest blunder last season was not having a capable #2, not the decision to ride Helle itself. 
...now if he's not  getting that league avg save% this year and next, then we can talk about being a career backup.  Until then, who knows.  Scott Darling is 4 years older & just got a lot of $$$ and 4 years of term.  I'm not certain he's accomplished anything more of substance, other than being on a far better team. 
 Agreed.
They got themselves hamstrung worrying about the expansion draft and forgot the important things along the way....1) winning NOW kinda does matter to people and 2) Vegas would NEVER have picked Hutch to begin with. 
 

More like Spicer. The mouthpiece of the administration (without a hot-clue what's really going on).

Hilarious how they'll lap up Dunk's information when it doesn't involve their team but when it does, he's a crap-disturber and a hack.
Absolutely comical.

Hindsight is always 20/20. 
Bombers have different situation then, Canadian content is shallow and we need players who can be with the team.  They don't have luxury of waiting for players who they thought might be in the NFL. Iirc, Waud and Durant has NFL invites then.
 
The way I see this, it's Conteh and Branning (he will be in TC, per Walters) - for Sherman and Morgan.

Richards was ranked 12th in the final rankings of Central Scouting. I wouldn't consider that "off the board". 

I was thinking the EXACT same thing today.....with Rod Pedersen being.....Paul Ryan, maybe?

Is it too soon to mention we could have taken Durant or Waud instead of Morgan?

Walters said he was taking snaps at safety during practice last year.

The Marcel effect

Nashville is definitely the team to beat right now. They've looked great all playoffs.

Cheveldayoff's hands must be numb these days. He better make some moves this off-season.

It is part of the Marvel universe.

The analytics have their place, but shouldn't solely be relied on.  They are a complimentary piece to help give you a complete picture  
When you see the outliers (high or low) it can give you direction to take a closer look at a guy as to why the stats are coming out that way.   It can also be used to validate what you are seeing visually.  
With how competitive professional sports are in trying to gain any advantage over your competition, dismissing them completely is just as dumb as solely relying on them. 
They are a tool, and like any tool, success willl depend on if you know how to use it properly. 

That's on Cheveldayoff for the most part. He & Maurice obviously thought he could handle it. Then our GM did nothing as the season went on. Nothing. I'm not huge on Helle as I've seen a lot of goalies come & go with different NHL teams over the years. If he capable of stepping up then he will. if not, we'll find out. Big season coming up for him in 17-18.

**** off nerd

Team Canada. Two time Olympic Gold medalist.

I think the real step forward in football statics will come when they are properly track different things spatially instead of purely numerically. There is something to be said about being able to visualize a player capabilities.

Sorry to say but the stats guys have taken over baseball and have been successful. 1/3 of the GMs have an Ivy League education.

Idk i liken nates rants to more of the dave ritchie talk. 

Btw, for you stat nerds...here's a thing from Derek Taylor......

 
Derek Taylor  ?? ?‏Verified account @DTonSC 37 days to the @CFL. Love this graph: % of 2nd-down passes thrown at or past the 1st-down mark. @BCLions Jennings leads all. #Details  

Not really... he was picked up off waivers with the hope he might work out... he was never "the future"... and now he's getting married to (one of the girls from) Jenna Rae Cakes... so it all worked out for him in the end
