Harris being at the end of his career is a big difference.  Also, not committing to off-season work.

Winning cures everything, but if the Bombers start losing and Brady's replacement sucks....
I'm old enough to remember losing seasons where people complained we didn't have any locals.

This is crazy copium, Brady was literally a MVP finalist last year 

Just popped in to read the Strevy talk.  

I made no such claim.

Harris being at the end of his career is a big difference.  Also, not committing to off-season work.

Poached from the Canadian Press:
"It was kind of one of those things where I wasn't getting a ton of real looks anymore," Streveler told reporters Thursday during a video conference. "I've been home since August . . . I've been training waiting for a call for 18 weeks and it just got to the point where I was kind of tired of playing that game.
"Everyone knows how much respect I have for this (CFL) game and the players up north and, of course, my love for Winnipeg. It was dry on the NFL side and I was like, 'Let's do it.' I just want to play ball and fortunately was able to get the opportunity here. I'm beyond excited about it."
I enjoy that last sentence.

No risk?  What if they don't win and the running game sucks?  What if they're not winning because the running game sucks?
There is most definitely risk involved.

Brady being local is a very big component of why he is loved here.  He's also a hell of a player and a good human being.
Just saying the negotiations pose a risk to the Bomber brand.  And that's all I am saying.

Then fans will still have a very popular local talent to cheer for.
I'm not saying sign him for what he's asking - just saying there IS a risk to letting him go.
Most fans aren't as sophisticated as this MENSA-certified community - they just like getting drunk and cheering for the guy they like.  And winning.

Who knows, he might have included his award bonuses and playoff total in that number, but I wouldn't be surprised if he earned that much in one year plus extra outside endorsements.  All of which are things Brady should take into account.

I think Wade might disagree with your viewpoint, his goal is to fill the stadium and sell merchandise, and to that end having a couple of local stars certainly helps.

I'm curious how much, if at all, the Bombers worry about the optics of letting a local kid who's involved in charities, etc, go elsewhere.... there's a lot of dumb people who don't necessarily understand the dollars and cents of it all, and just see the Bombers not willing to bring him back. I know we all don't really care about that, but I'm curious how much the Bombers think about it from a PR standpoint...
