Mods, can we merge the 2020 US Election thread into the US Politics thread.

He's still gone. And to the Lions of all teams with their pylon qb & ten cent offensive line. I don't dislike the guy & I wish him well but I don't really care.

Not slagging Sayles. It's just he's not a Bomber anymore. I'll cheer for guys who want to be here. Not ones who have left. Yes, he was a big reason we won but times change. This is what those stupid 1 year deals have done. Fans can't relate to players anymore. Half of the CFL fans out there can't tell you player names, numbers or what they look like on their favourite teams which is leading to a disconnect with the CFL fanbase.

He will continue to languish as a backup on NFL teams. He could be a star up here.

He has all the tools to be a great CFL qb.

Nope. Guy leaves & signs with another CFL team? Don't care about him anymore.

Let him go to a last place team.

Tried posting a video but was unsuccessful.

I remember when McEnany was a commentator on CNN during the 2016 election. She was beyond awful then & lied, lied, lied every time she was on television. She became unwatchable & moved on to Fox News. Not surprised she was hired by Trump as WH Press Secretary.

Lumen Field???

Remember when Zach was signed in 2019? Many posters said he'd never sign here as he has roots in Eastern Canada & the US & wouldn't want to sta here longer term. You go where you're wanted & appreciated. Welcome back, Zach!

Zach's concern is longevity. Can he stay healthy?

Why would you want Davis here? He's done nothing as a CFL qb.

Dominique Davis re-signs in Ottawa...

She is now.

This is what happens when you have a nearly 12 month election cycle. Think Trump could stoke the fire of hatred & lies to his base into a frenzy if the actual entire Presidential election took 2 months with a a nomination period from February to June, two week long national conventions in the summer months. a l3 month election campaign afterward, a runoff election in Georgia TWO MONTHS after the Presidential Election, certification of results needed by both Houses of US government, transition period & fixed inaguaration date? Think again.

I saw the video. How stupid was she thinking that breaking into the Senate or Congress wouldn't be met with deadly force??? She was a criminal terrorist & an insurrectionist. She got what she deserved.

Oh well... think Trump cares? Her family will suffer. Not many will be sympathetic.

well, if she was part of the toothless mob that attacked Capitol Hill & stormed the Senate, I'm a lot less sympathetic.

Trump is a terrorist. He needs to be arrested.

There was a serious lack of planning for what happened today. Whoever was in charge should be fired. They seem to be pushing the terrorists back. I'd have liked to see head cracked.

The woman that was shot on the grounds of Capitol Hill has died. Was she a terrorist or an innocent bystander?

Backups who struggled but became starters & champions. Dieter Brock, Khari Jones, Rick Cassatta, Tom Wilkinson, Anthony Calvillo, Danny McManus. Off the top of my head. Dave Dickenson was a third string backup to Doug Flutie & Jeff Garcia in 1996. It took him 4 seasons to become the Stampeder starter & lead his team to the 99 Grey Cup. So, it does happen. My expectations as a fan is that he's our next long term starter. That's what I hope. That he can develop into a star. Do I expect it? Nope. Can I wish? Absolutely.

If defenses can take away his cute little reverse step to the right when the pocket collapses That would be a start. My son used that move when he played & he got destroyed a couple of times. He didn't see a linebacker or DL rushing on his opposite side & he stepped right into them. BOOM! The same thing will happen to Fajardo except CFL players hit a lot harder than college.

Fajardo has figured out how to read CFL defenses & finding the extra 12th man which means he's a legit starter. I mean, we're expecting the same big things from Sean McGuire as a fanbase ourselves. I've seen qbs who initially struggled become productive starters & champions. Some guys take longer than others. Just playing Devil's Advocate here & giving the other side of the story. I've seen inexperienced qbs who initially looked lost on the field suddenly figure it out & become league champions, award winners & all stars. If anyone here remembers Dieter Brock's first start against Edmonton in 1974 you know what I mean.
