    I brought up Schoen because that IS the debate. Who is more valuable and what is the walk-away point for each? People say they are not turning on Brady, but then say he isn’t FIFO and slapping his teammates in the face with his desire to make bank, and have drawn a clear line in the sand with what he is worth, but no one is questioning Schoen and what he will cost us. And I am not so sure that replacing the MOC and easily top RB in the CFL is easier than a top receiver (mindful that we already have a #1 in Lawler). And Schoen hasn’t shown any more or less commitment to re-signing here than Brady. But I sense people are disgruntled with Brady more so when they say he can walk and we will be fine or better? Is it purely that folks think any player can be a running back, or is it something more - like maybe his tweet that got noses out of joint? And is the cost of Schoen not more prohibitive in building the rest of the team? (To be clear I am not leaning one way or another, but it appears others certainly are, and I am wondering why the difference?)

    When you say “people” are you talking about me? 
     

    If so, then you are disregarding the fact I said that I don’t blame him for wanting to get paid, that he is a great player, and would love to have him back. 
     

    However, a giant RB contract doesn’t make sense for our team IMO. He can go reset the market somewhere else. That is essentially “I want free agent money” talk in the CFL. Certainly for a RB. But this has been explained many times now. 

    You’re talking about the best WR in the league who has led the league in receiving  TDs  basically since he stepped on the field. We aren’t talking “really good”. We are talking all time level good. 
     

    I know you want to make what I am saying into something more dramatic. I don’t value Oliveira as much as Schoen for the reasons that have been mentioned many many times about the position he plays. That is what it boils down to.  

    The same way I would have loved to have Desjarlais back - but not at that price. Good for him, moving on.

    If people think going over $200k is too much for Brady (and I would agree - although did I miss where it has been clearly stated what he in fact is asking for, or is this just fan speculation and guessing at numbers?), then what is too much for Schoen?

    It isn’t apples to apples and i would have bet the a million dollars that you were going to bring up Schoen. 
     

    It is a passing league - he isn’t  as easily replaced.  That’s  the difference. 
     

    Something in the mid to high 2s for sure.

    Nobody is “turning” on Brady. He is a great player that everyone would love to have back. 
     

    If he wants to “reset the market” he can do it somewhere else. He didn’t build this team up over years and years like many others - he walked into a finished product. 
     

    It is bit of a slap in the face of guys who actually did turn this around damn near a decade ago - lplayed major roles in winning Cups- and took less to stay here. 
     

    He wants it to be all business - so don’t be surprised when it gets treated like a business on both sides. 
     

    I Don't blame him for wanting to get paid, but it doesn’t fall in line with FIFO, and he plays a position that should be easier to replace.
     

    So happy travels if that is what he wants.

    I seem to recall Booch or someone talking about how the Bombers really needed to get this done, as the existing turf was really starting to show its age...

     

    I know I’ve been bringing it up for years. It is an embarrassment- and partially because of that dumb **** NFL promoter.

    I doubt it because of the university but I’d love to see blue endzones again

    Has Brady been listening to his old pal Andrew....IF he has and thinks by going down the road Harris took when he left the club, ..welll in my opinion, it's the wrong choice.....I really like the kid and appreciate what he's done for the club but I hope he's not sandbagging himself as far as we're concerned....Sure the 'sky is the limit' BUT this is the CFL and I don't see the nfl breaking down his door for him to play down there  

    This is nonsense.

    You seem to be very black and white person. But this is a shades of grey decision.

    MOS didn't wake up one morning and fire Boudreau all on his own. But neither did Walters. They did their evaluations, had a conversation, and came to a decision.

    If you want to sit there and tell everyone that MOS has zero input on his own staff and I will absolutely roll my eyes at you. It is simply another case of you manipulating every comment and piece of news into the exact same criticism over and over and over. 

    It is beyond tiresome. 
     

    I respect Mike and his opinions - but he lit this fire and some people just form their entire view around it now.

    I had a nice chuckle over some Jon Ryan quotes on CKRM today....

     

    So embarrassing.

    Thee are the biggest joke of a franchise in NA sports and always will be.

    This is such a big thing over there right now. They are DESPERATE to turn the tide on that rapidly sliding attendance, so the whole league has been trying to blow smoke up their ass so the casuals, which make up the large majority of their fan base, start coming back ..

    This is why they go so crazy when they inevitably lose every single year. 
     

    They get pumped up based on nothing and it crashes down.

    yup...thinking and wanting that.....is fine but coming out and stating that, and it being your intention....not such a smart tactic/move

    It doesn’t really fit into what other guys have said and done to stay here. 
     

    I can remember two years ago Brady went on a podcast and said he wanted to get paid , and that was before he had really done that much. 
     

    That’s fine, I’m never mad at a guy wanting to get paid, but I don’t really get attached to those players in the same way.  It is a business. If you gotta go, you gotta go. 
     

    I would say it didn’t work out very good for Lawler (in Edmonton) or Lewis (they clearly didn’t need him).

    Alford played division II college ball and it took one year with us to get an NFL look.

    Oakman is 31, and played for Penn State and Baylor before going around different leagues since 2018. If NFL teams thought he was at that level, he'd have had a look by now. He didn't fall through any cracks.

    He had criminal stuff going on that prevented him getting there. 
     

    Definitely didn’t fall through the cracks.
