If Dee Alford stayed up here he would be in the prime of maybe the best DB career in league history. 

I had dinner with Milt a few years (a friend won a charity auction) and he said he roomed with Blink for their first trip to Montreal together.
He said he didnt see Charlie from the time they checked in until they were at the stadium the next day. 
Blink went on to lead the team in rushing and receiving that night so Milt said he decided not to confront the issue and just let Blink be Blink.
The question is would the Bombers had won more cups in the early 2000s if they had team leaders that inforced the FIFO attitude? Was Blink the problem or lack of leaders the problem?

For sure it was. Especially considering he did it twice.  Doesn’t change the respect I have for his natural talent though. 

There are an endless amount of guys who can do what he does. 
 
He doesn’t bring anything special.

I mean going out and getting **** faced the night before a Grey Cup game where we had a guy making his first start ever at QB was frustrating. 

I know who Rod Hill is.

Right. Part of the last great crop anyhow. 
I think Sellers came up the first time in 1995 as well.

To be fair, Collaros was a legitimate CFL star for multiple years before his play declined initially.
Wieneke has followed his one successful season with 2 consecutive down years. I'm not saying he's not a CFLer anymore. I'm saying league min would be fair and not a bargain. 

The guy has been garbage the past two years. They're not getting a bargain. 

Thats fair I guess if that’s your grouping. 
 
I think Lawler, Scheon and Lewis are significantly better than the rest of those guys. So my personal tier would end there. 
 
edit: I’m really on the fence as to whether I think White belongs with the other guys. I’d side with “no” because I’m on the fence. 

I agree with this. The elite tier is those 3. Second tier is divisional All-Star quality guys.
 
top tier, lawler schoen Lewis  
2nd tier white hatcher Demski hardy (Demski is in this tier as much due to his diverse dynamic useages and elite blocking) 
3rd bane emelius Hollins begelton Daniel’s 
but despite that I’d take the risk on guys like Mcinnis Coxie Snead cottoy hollins bane and emelius over guys like begelton and Daniel’s based on upside and ability to move up. The performances the riders WRs put up with the corpse of Harris and a bunch of qb3s is impressive. If any of those guys took baileys spot and last years reps they’d be in the 2nd tier easy. 

****. The. Riders. Always.

Great? Like upper tier? 

I wouldn’t put him there. 

Their best off season move was getting rid of Michael Ball.

Speaking of linebackers, we signed Jeremiah Gemmel today. 
 
Fun fact: the move Denver made to fit him on their training camp roster? The release of Barrington Wade.

LOL. No shortage of cheerleaders in Riderville.
 

No. We'll behave. 

It is funny how MTL’s OL was getting destroyed the first half of the season. Then they basically stopped throwing the ball and things got better. 
 
 

Again , people seem to forget that would have tied the game. That and I still think the pass would have been broken up. 
Plus, had Sayles just knocked the ball down like he should have it was drive over a few plays earlier.
