    Blake Wheelers name has been floating around since Ladd got traded and with training camp vastly approaching talk is that he will be the next captain, best get it out of the way dont what it to become a training camp thing

    Agreed.

    I have to ask, does anyone care? I know it's offseason, so it's going to get big play, but does anyone (fans) care if it's Wheeler or Sheif? Is it worth all the attention it's going to get in the media?

    I don't want Burris in any situation, to be honest.

    If there was a situation out there that could land us assets for Willy while we still retained a quality backup QB in some way or another, I'd consider supporting the idea of trading Drew.

    Is that situation out there? I don't see it.

    The ONLY situation that I can see presenting itself is a scenario where we basically do a three way trade with Toronto/Montreal

    Toronto gives up: assets, gets: Drew Willy

    Winnipeg gives up: Drew Willy, gets: half the assets from Toronto, Kevin Glenn, cap relief to bolster their roster elsewhere

    Montreal gives up: Kevin Glenn, gets: half the assets from Toronto, cap relief, an opening to boost Vernon Adams/Rakeem Cato up the depth chart and invest in the future

    I like that scenario much better (Glenn vs Burris)

     

    I think the telling thing here is that the Bombers have not approached Willy to talk contract. That tells me that they have not lost faith in him.

    If you think it through, if Willy was resigned to accept  lower contract, why would he go elsewhere to  new system and team and have to start all over again when he could have essentially the same money here along with a known situation?

    But if Willy feels he's lost the faith of the coaching staff, it may be too hard to regain it.

    It will depend on who gets the back-up reps both on the field and on the practice field.

    If sees too many obstacles, he may want to move on. It's not as though he's spent much time or had much success in the new Lapo offense.

    I would like to see him have a greater presence at games, being seen in attendance, etc.  I would also like to see him more directly address the rule changes and the laughable degree to which plays can be challenged; perhaps I only mean I hope he'll do whatever he can, as I'm not even sure to what extent that's in his job description.

    I don't want Orridge messing with the on-field product. I DO want him to put the right people in place to help facilitate improvement with the on-filed product.

    I still believe there is a looming disaster in Montreal and potentially Toronto.  You have teams that are basically worthless and depending on a rich guy to not care about taking a loss to keep them operating, playing on facilities they don't control.  Not good.

    Toronto is different because the owners also benefit from the stadium and having butts in seats. It's not like the old days at Sky Dome, where the owners saw the Argos as an inconvenience. Plus, the Argos are not as limited for picking game days.

    The fans will come back. They'll go to BMO. They need time.

    Cohon helped get Ottawa back. He helped get the CFL their TV deal. I'm not sure how I feel about Cohon but he did get some things accomplished.

    He also didn't panic when the NFL 'experiment' came to Canada.

    if the game was in winnipeg id say lets all kick in and take him to baked expectations. 

    I don't think, as a group, we could come up with enough money for that tab.

    Is Foodie Goodie still open?

    Let's not forget that Lewis blocks too and really enjoys hitting people. He's a threat when receiving the ball but also on any offensive play.

    How does Ottawa do it with 2 starting QB salaries....

    Same with Calgary .....

    How do other teams survive when they over pay for massive salaries on receivers or aging vets.

    I'll ask them.

    But since we have no idea where the Blue Bombers are versus the cap, what salaries they're paying, etc, we're all just speculating.

    I guess the point of this thread should be, if paying Nicholl's his bonuses means we have to cut someone (or $XXX), who should get cut?

    I guess Cronk. The victim  of the Nicholl's bonuses! :)
