Yep, we should have been more proactive...

It was obvious to me at least that Strev wasn't the guy & we needed to move on. The knee injury has forced the Bombers hand but Powell was there. We weren't aggressive enough. Well, every qb that backs up someone is unproven & is a roll of the dice. I never said he was guaranteed. But of all the FA qbs available he was the best.

That development can be done on the north side of PAS if you look at the renderings. The residential part looks very close to the stadium. As far as no one caring about noise because they're making money, sure. That's why we see just as many videos of people on social media complaining or in conflict with others in rich residential neighbourhoods as we see in the Hood. It's too bad that we're in a holding pattern with Taylor Elegersma that we've completly let the backup qb position become something of a wilderness similar to what happened to our DL. Powell would have been the perfect backup to Collaros. Experienced & still young enough to give us 7 or 8 years as a starter. However, we let him get away for some rookie with delusions of grandeur & a fantasy money tree in his living room.

Hope you're right because as soon as that first contract was over after being drafted it seemed that Bomber players just bailed & signed with other teams from or close to their own backyards where they grew up. Which is a problem because the majority of players come from Ontario. Or never came back here after NFL tryouts. Sure, we've had guys sign with the Bombers from Winnipeg/Manitoba. I didn't say that no one ever did.

This team will lose in 5 to the Avs. Probably in a sweep.

We'll get blown out, c'mon. And instead of getting a decent draft pick who might help us right awy, we'll pick a kid (probably an American) who we might see by 2030.

It seems everyone from Ontario, BC Quebec & Saskatchewan all want to play at home. Maybe we don't see that as much with Manitobans because the provincial population is 1.4 million. We kinda have that here in Alberta. Everyone south or Red Deer want to play for the Stamps. North of Red Deer it's Edmonton. But we have 5 million people here so there are more players to draw from.

The young woman I told you guys about at Xmas time who are family friends of ours succumbed to pancreatic cancer three days ago in Nanaimo, BC. She was 36 years old. She was a wife with a 2 year old son who now will grow up never knowing his mother. When Tyler played for the Rifles, they were his billet family for 2 years. Very, very sad.

But what is happening that wasn't before is that these large stadiums are either part of or are being surrounded by residential areas. Which wasn't common before.There shoukld be a buffer zone around stadiums so that a high density residential development like this in Ottawa doesn't occur literally just feet away from TD Place Stadium. Would you be happy if this kind of development surrounded PAS?

Hmmm, it's no joke. People like to ***** & complain. Especially on social media. If 20,000 people move close to thje stadium then if it's not noise it'll be traffic. Or some other ****. Someone will be offended. Politicians will panic.

You just know the new neighbours will complain. It's inevitable. There's always one. Or in a big residential area, a hundred.

Well, you have a canadian who may shake loose from the NFL with 3 or 4 years experiences vs a guy who may want to do what Manu did & go to the NFL. If Manu becomes available what a prize catch he'd be. In his late 20's with 8-10 years left to play. I'd keep Manu.

It's 5 on 5 probably using American rules.

Why wouldn't Rourke show well? His receivers will all be from the CFL, I'd think. Or American collegiate or U Sports.

We have needs on the OL & DL. Why would we draft 2 defensive backs??
