Hear! Hear!!

Never ever said Osh was a great coach as he has never won multiple Grey Cups. Nichols has never won multiple Grey Cups either so he's not a great qb. Thanks for dropping by though.

Five years.

To trade a warm body &/or a draft pick for Colaros would be an insanely stupid move for all the obvious reasons. He may only last a single play like he did this season with the Riders. The risk is too high.

That's Retired Old Man Who Can't Drive Rule #1. See Handbook.

As I stated earlier on another thread, see Ray Jauch.

Hugh Campbell had Tom Wilkinson & Warren Moon playing for him & won 5 Grey Cups. Bud Grant had Ken Ploen. Frank Clair had Russ Jackson. Eagle Keys had Ron Lancaster. Great coaches had great players. Would Frank Clair have won 3 Grey Cups with Gary Wood? Eagle Keys never won in BC with Don Moorehead. Bud Grant never would have won with John Schneider. Hugh campbell never would have won with Don Trull or Corey Colehour. Winning championships go hand in hand with HOF qbs. All those coaches had multiple Hall Of Famers playing at other positions as well. Otherwise they never would have won.

Other than the fans here who don't want Mike to go, I think the majority of the Bomber fanbase won't be unhappy if he leaves. I think if O'Shea is given a new contract if we lose out in the playoffs there'll be a lot of season ticketholders who won't renew.

I plan to buy a fedora. I'll wear it when I drive going 15 kph under the speed limit. Or when I do my 2 block long lane changes. Yep, when I retire I'll finally have the time to triple my post count here. 😉

Doesn't sound like a troll to me. Just a fan asking a question. Anyway, to specifically answer Old Bomber Fan's question, I think Mike O'Shea would say that Streveler gave them the best chance to win. Just like he would say the same thing if Nichols was playing... that Matt would give them the best chance to win. That in O'Shea's mind the game was not over. To admit that by playing MacGuire would mean admitting defeat. That's why a qb switch was never made. Yeah, yeah, I know...

Turns out if he gets an NFL shot, it won't be at qb.

I don't hate Streveler but I have read your post who for a season & a half on this board & you were one of the most annoying cheerleaders I have ever seen. Big Chris this. Big Chris that. Afraid he'll go to the NFL. Matt Nichols sucks. When the Bombers lost it was always Nichols fault. When they won it was a team effort. No credit to Nichol from you ever. Now Big Chris is under the microscope & we are finding out about his shortcomings & that he's not ready & you don't like it. It is what it is. I have said that while Streveler is struggling, LaPo isn't helping him. I think he isn't getting the coaching he needs to develop. So, it's not all his fault. He needs help & he isn't getting it. I'm a Bomber fan. Why would I want him to fail? Especially now that he's all we've got. lack of good coaching is a huge issue offensively with this team. I want one more Grey Cup win at least in my lifetime. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see it.

The threat of Streveler running the ball has been taken away. When he throws he has no touch on his deep balls. Defenses aren't afraid of us stretching the field. Accuracy is a real issue on all of his routes short, medium or long. They just load up the LOS & take away the run. LaPo doesn't roll Streveler out making him a threat to take off with the ball. Instead he makes him stand in the pocket trying to read defenses & throwing blanks.

There are no easy throws in this offense. Maybe if Ricky Ray or Mike Reilly were throwing them but not with our qb. Even a 12 yard completion is a huge uphill battle.

Game is in Winnipeg on Saturday

Adams & Stanbeck are no slouches running the ball. Stanbeck is a powerful runner suited for a frozen field. In bad weather they're even with us as I see no advantage. Hell, they're even in good weather.

Right now we are doomed with Streveler as a starter. Defenses have taken away his running ability & left himto beat them with his arm which he can't do. Not all his fault as LaPo is his OC but Streveler has shortcomings throwing the ball. At 24, he may never overcome his deficiencies with his fundamentals. But... that is on him to correct them if he can. There are well known & successful private qb coaches out there that cater to upper echelon NCAA as well as CFL & NFL qbs that could help him. He has to want to do that & be motivated to change things. It's not easy tearing things down & starting over to break bad habits. Long process but it can be done.

My limit is $30-32,000 if I was looking. Just paid off my car in 2018 so I am enjoying some debt relief. Besides, I'm sliding into retirement the next 5 years so I doubt that I'll ever get another car loan.

Big Chris showed us a whole lot of nothing. He isn't starter material & may never be. We may lose out the rest of the season with him in there. But the Bombers are to blame for that. The guy can only do so much when we have a useless OC calling the plays.

Great. Now prices have to come down. I can't afford a Tesla.

To me, it looks like Buck & LaPo did a poor job of coaching Streveler up How a guy can sit through nearly two seasons of video sessions, offensive meetings, practices & starting 9 games & look this lost is incredible. He's not getting better. Arbuckle is a FA. We should go after him in free agency but I'm not so sure with our head coach.

Who they gonna get? Who they gonna get? Who they gonna get? What is this, The Twilight Zone?

Good analogy.

Chris Streveler is lucky he lives in Winnipeg.

How many times does that question have to be asked? It's lame. Let Walters figure it out. That's his job. Not ours. You would prefer 9 years of mediocrity under O'Shea (with a new 3 year deal) with subpar Coordinators who can't adapt or are too stubborn to change or unable to adapt? I mean, look at our first DC.. Gary fricking Etcheverry. Our first OC? Marcel Bellefeuille. We replaced Etcheverry with Hall & Bellefeuille with LaPo. Hardly what I'd call improvements & so it goes under O'Shea. Things don't change until change is actually made. What has O'Shea accomplished as a HC to deserve to be around for 9 seasons?
