    I dont see him as that guy at all. Maybe at his best, but not any more. To be a game / system changer at Lber you gotta either be lock down in pass cover, or pass rusher / lanes. Like Bighill in his first year here his deep middle zone under the S and in place of loffler at times was incredible and allowed us to do a lot. Or WJ and his pressure / PKDs. I dont see Elimimian as that guy. 2016 he was all over the field making plays in the back field, back in the middle etc. Since then I think hes been a scrape to the ball and up the middle stuffer. Now I think hes replacement level tbh.

    Agree. He will be 34 this year, his best year was 2016 and 2017 was his last good year. It isnt hard to find a tackle box MLBer. The chances he regains peak form now is extremely low. If I was them Id go with a young cheap Imp or even try a good sts NIer.

    An out right liability. I want to see a db core of gainey, heath, and fogg one some team. ideally the riders.

    Personally I think its a none issue for balance. Some players will pick money/night life other players will pick the best team I dont think the big cities are at a disadvantage, just stating that it was all one way earlier now being thrown back the other. I think the ability for players in the big cities to earn side income dwarfs the minimal gap easily. No position player any time soon imo. Or even the next Mike reilly deal. Or to be the als having to cut players you want to keep because you simply can not afford them.

    Pretty much

    Prolly right, vocal minority.

    Not in the toronto market imo. A championship didnt put a good number of butts in the seats, I dont see willie doing it. A ricky williams esq nfl QB would make some what of an improvement.

    a week ago people on here talked about how living in TO/bc was a none factor in the end. Now its cmoooooon cost of living! I cant see WJ choosing to play for a none competitive team with 8 fans. Imo, if he signs in the CFL hes coming on down to winnipeg.

    I wonder if this topic will ever die on here, or if 15 years from now some young fan will be new on here and thinking WTF are these old people talking about?

    Only if ed hervey gets another GM job between now and free agency.

    I no longer hold hope that we sign so and so premier pass catcher in FA. If we get one ill be surprised and cautiously optimistic. If we go into the year with lawler, darvin and bailey plus the NIs its still a really good wr core. A good vet with some questions like tasker to push that core would be great. Willy is priority no1 imo if he isnt nfl bound. And keeping money available for nfl guys is important too.

    Unless its indoor football and not arena style on 1/2 a field. I think the idea of bringing football early is a solid one, IF they played during the NFL season I think their best shot would be on none nfl days. But yeah they dont stand a chance. So if they last 3 years, hes hoping the tv deal 3-4 years after that would pay back his initial investment. What then covers his losses from the first 3 years after the initial, and the next 3-4 while 90% of the income is paying back his investment? Its a 0 percent chance to be flush after 7 years he is banking on. Just insane. How many pro football leagues other then the CFL and NFL have operated for 7 consecutive years? Just the arena league? With no tv money and 10k fans a game? Seems like financial suicide to me.

    FA
  14. wbbfan
    He was with MTL, I think on the PR or IR dont think he played. Think he was trying to get an nfl shot too.

    At kevin glenns best he beat the rush with his release too. Being able to pull off beating the rush with quick decision and release is one of the hardest things to defend. That and a running qb imo. Wonder if it means demski is taking a smaller role or not gonna be back. Love what JFG brings in terms of heart and work ethic. Always came up big when called upon too. Lyles is interesting. 6'4 4.38 11' broad and 40" vert. If he can be put in a position where he isnt needed to cover solo deep a lot he's a good get. Right now has to be hidden a bit, but could develop better decision making and coverage with coaching, hes still really young.

    Good point on montreal. Idk about ottawa though. If any thing they know the value of having 2 qbs. I dont think much of davis or arndt but they may still have some hope for them. Id cut bait and start fresh if i was them though. I hate the thought but jennings could be a target for a few teams looking for vet back up, including us. Dirt cheap, young, and athletic. Hes not streveler athletic but enough to run productively as a qb.
  17. wbbfan
    Always gotta be looking for the next great young talent at every position. Tackle is a more athletically and mentally demanding position though. We have two of the best right now, but you never know when its all over. And I wouldnt blame bryant in the least if he didnt want to play till the wheels fall off.
  18. wbbfan
    On a budget deal he'd be a great low risk high reward pick up. Not many teams are really deep at qb as it sits, I could see him going to any team save hamilton/to.
  19. wbbfan
    If any thing It says that his defense was the reason they were bad. But OL was more puppies then pork too. Sure you throw more the further behind and later the game gets. But you get behind for many reasons. One of the worst Ds, Ols, and run games in the league last year had a bit to do with it. Wonder if we kick the tires on him. Wouldnt mind if he was cheap. I actually like the guy as a player. I was high on him pre draft and think he could get better. Its just if he becomes as good as I think he can be, the contract will at best be ok. An that chance isnt great. The drop off from the elite batch to the second tier like muamba is steep. While the money difference is not. Id put him in the lower to low mid portion of the 2nd tier of NI D players. Below greenwood, boateng (id rather have judge but I think boateng is a bit better still), laing and unamba. Jake thomas isnt much further down the list from there, and I wouldnt want to give him a huge deal either.

    Isnt franklin under contract too?

    Luck is the residue of hard work. Never know what woulda coulda shoulda happened. But with how our D played, its hard to imagine us not winning.
  22. wbbfan
    Stat that shows he played from behind a lot on a bad team. 3rd in passing yards and 1st in tds. Which considering he wasnt the starter for the whole year is pretty good. Come from behind win on the worst team in the league vs the eventual grey cup champions is worth some thing too. By no means is he an elite starter. But imo he is cemented as a starting caliber qb in this league. Atleast going into TC, any thing can change during the season.
  23. wbbfan
    If you knocked 90k off that deal itd be a good one. I like judge, I still havent seen that he has what it takes to take his game to that level though. I dont see how he lives up to the contract unless he becomes a premiere defensive ni / lb. I feel like every year the riders have a resigning/pick up that makes you go "They gave how much to who?"
  24. wbbfan
    Some talented guys on that list glad they might get a chance to continue playing and maybe recirculate back to the CFL. Was flowers here or did we just hold his neg rights?
  25. wbbfan
    Wonder if we go after Campbell.
