Yes, and was absolutely torched over and over again throughout the year and picked on repeatedly in the Grey Cup. Just because a guy catches a few 50/50 balls doesnt mean he's good. You dont think its somewhat telling that the Bombers didnt try to bring him back??

Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m suggesting. Do you really think they care? Lol 
These guys basically play opponents once or twice a season, they watch film throughout the week and that’s about as much CFL as the majority of them consume. Do you think these guys take their ballots home and think it over with a nice glass of whiskey? It’s all locker room talk. It’s a reputation award. Ask any player. I would bet less than 10% take it seriously.
Two years ago, I remember talking to a current Bomber and it came up that he had filled out his ballot that afternoon. Hockey locker room talk. Somebody asked him who he voted for. “I forget”

How do you know the Bombers didn't try bring him back? All we know is that the Bombers wouldn't pay what someone else was willing to pay, and rightfully so as we are very deep in our d backfield. Don't mistake us not allocating the funds to him as us not wanting him. Good teams lose good players all the time in an SMS world. ALL Dbs get torched occasionally. Our very worst by far defender in the GC was Parker and I am very excited to see what he can do this year.

A couple of timely pics does not an exceptional DB make.....We would not have parted with him IF we thought he had value down the road.....end of

Could just be more of a popularity contest. I dont care who voted for what. Houston and Sayles were not good last year. Period.

The Biggie apologists are wild. He’s barely passable as a starting linebacker at this point. The biggest thing he brings to the table at this point is his ability to read things pre-snap and get himself into the right spots but he’s probably the slowest linebacker in the league and is nowhere near the sure tackler he used to be.
CFLPA all star aka the reputation award. Doesn’t mean anything for actual on-field performance, we all know that and just pretend we don’t when it’s convenient.
Bighill has been awesome and he definitely had a bit of a resurgence at the beginning of 2024 but his play fell off a cliff in the second half of the year.

Live look at O'Day on the first day of Free Agency...

Judge is better than Bighill imo at least now.

yeah so what would the rules be?  Would the Alouettes get to play 12 guys just to make sure that the score stayed under 300 points against?

Mix a little blood in and youve nearly got a rainbow.

I can't put into words how badly I want Cody Fajardo to play against the Kansas City Chiefs..... he might ACTUALLY die....
 

Anyone who's got the pride and drive to succeed at this level is gonna have serious feelings when the day comes to shut er down.  His onfield contributions are what matters to me, not his exit interview.
Thanks for being a great Bomber, Mr. Jeffcoat.

I feel bad that he feels disrespected, but as 17to85 was just saying, these are the hard decisions that have to be made. I will always be a huge fan of our 2Jeff2Furious tandem. Haba and Garbutt time...

Fact is that bighill is barely fast enough these days when 100%. Dinged at all his play drops off a cliff. Should have been out 100%. And schoen wasn't practicing at all... another should have been outm and Bailey was clearly hurt, should have been sat. But really with the receivers you want to play one dinged guy fine, but you can't do 3. 

If you couldn't see Biggie labouring and unable to make plays, I don't know what to tell you.  He was not particularly good in that Grey Cup game and really had no business being on the field.

There are a lot of miles on that body. 

Pass on Jeffcoat, great player just can't stay healthy. Unless he will take a good haircut be a depth guy....which with his talent would be tough.

Yet he played a half injured Bighill in the most important game of the year.   

Betts is so one dimensional. A strreaky pass rush end only. Lousy against containing the run inside. sask or BC can have him & overpay. With the money we have we should be able to bring in some DL help as well as linebacker.  We need to shore up our defense.
