Yeah super high upside, big athletic as get out and explosive. iirc son of an nfler as well. tremendous value pick.

hallett it is

with the first over all pick in the 2021 draft bcs new gm is proud to select... an ol.

trying to stay awake waiting for his picks lol. I wish they wouldnt have this soo late just for tsn.

6/13 picks have been front 7 players, to 4 ol.

ketel asse looks like the faller this year

yeah holy off the board pick batman. toronto gonna be toronto

and here come the run on ol!.

ooof. makes me glad we dont have a first rounder this year.

3 picks and no OL yet, feels strange. but the talent pool is crazy deep, all 3 teams have gotten good prospects.

maybe or maybe with out the pressure of no1 over all they take a futures guy

might be the stumps wanted to save the big salary commitment?

cant draft a brain for the franchise

I cant see london ever working. Maybe they become a floating market that hosts a couple games every year and maybe a superbowl etc but a full time team seems like a worse idea then vince mcmahon starting up another football league. Mexico city though I think would be top of the list by far in terms of want and reality. The nfl doesnt seem really interested in toronto. They'd never be no1 in that market likely not no2 for many years and TO fans are the quickest to jump off a bandwagon in north america. 2 years with 10 wins or less total and you couldnt pay them to attend nfl games.

bc is a prime candidate for us to unload some of our Ol depth on for draft assets. I dont think itd be couture though. I love gray but he is the highest upside of the none starters and almost certainly the highest paid. He, eli, desjarlais and speller are all studs though. I just hope we dont end up letting one or more of those guys go for no return. We are also insanely deep at return man, I could see some mid range pick flip for one of grant, nelson or whitehead. I dont think it'd be grant and I think nelson would bring the least of the 3. I would like to see whitehead in a 2nd year here though. We havent had that dynamic after the catch play maker potential in a long long time.

I bet hes kicking him self for not taking a deal with a signing bonus already. If the season doesnt happen or is significantly shortened he could lose a TON of cash.

I know of a contract where a radio or sat tower was to be taken down, one guy bid 1 million bucks and no one else bid so he got it. Two guys went up with harnesses and cut their way down. Finished the job in one day. Gov't contracts are insane.

I wonder if all this will lead to a public exodus for vince. How man times can you make such huge swings and miss and still come up to bat?

Its all about the weighing of career vs peak. A long career with no peak still has weight where you draw the line is extremely subjective. The point was geroys career was 15 years with 6 years under 755 yards. Compared to the elite wrs its allen esq. Allen played about 150 years (23) with 11 years over 3500 yards and 20 tds 8 times. Garcia was in the cfl for 5 years, started for 4 and above that allen good years mark for 3 years. If you compare their peak 3 year stats youd be surprised. Though garcia was unquestionably a more talented and skilled qb, does that margin in those 3 years edge out the incredible longevity of allen? its subjective but in no way a clear cut thing. At the same rate you could take a bunch of 1 or 2 year and gone cfl wrs like joe horn. You could also argue the reverse, would chad johnson be among the best cfl wrs ever? he didnt play here in his peak but his peak was hands down higher level then geroy simon. Same with andre rison. The tldr is that geroy was great, but elevated above others on the length of his career. Damon allen is an extreme case (as is emit smith) but I used them because they make the point clear and easy (they are the captains of that tier of player for me). Vs the murky arguables mentioned above. How many of damon allens years in the cfl would he have been better then our starter? I feel like its more then half but it might be a bit less. How many of those years would he have taken us to the next level?

The depth of greatness at qb is very different then at wr in modern cfl history though. Geroy is a top 10 wr all day. Allen is top 20 at qb and yes by the sum of his career and not by the peak of his level. The wrs have milt in his own tier then pitts in another then geroy in a crowded tier. The top 4 or 5 cfl qbs are all milt tier. The next 5 ish are pitts tier.

Production is not the same as quality. Doug brown wasnt leading all DTs in tackles and sacks every year, but he was the best at his position. 2006 was also a bit of a thin year, mop is also a fickle political picking with heavy offensive skill position bias, but even then id have given it to brent johnson or charlie roberts over geroy. in 2006 as top wr id still take milt, bruce or tucker over geroy. 100% In the top 5 wrs of all time you quickly get to a point where you have to choose how you weigh duration of a career vs brilliance in a shorter time span. A bunch of guys with 5 year or smaller sample sizes would be better then geroy pound for pound. Vaughn was a murder for a while. Seemed like he could run slant routes on us all day long. It felt like we took the foot off the pedal in the second to last game and never got back in the groove after that.

he was, but the gap between geroy and milt is the same to me as the gap between allen and flutie.

Geroy was a fantastic wr for a long time. And pitts was great. But no one is in milts league. If he had an elite qb for half his career he'd honest to god have 50 more tds, and a couple 2k years. I look at geroy in the same light as I look at damon allen. Never the best player at their position in the league, but alot of time in the higher tiers. Its the same deal as emmit smith. NFLs all time leading rusher, but not really in any ones top 5 best rbs of all time.

Such an amazing game, the roar when bolden picks off danny mac is the loudest I ever heard at the old stadium.

In the weeks leading up to that teams were getting past montreals long time cover 0 look in different ways, but that always seemed the night it died. Sir charles ran up the gut and tore apart a stacked line over and over again. Beating the als back then was the high spot of a season too.
