Yeah, Rider, whatever. He wasn't always and still couldn't sling it consistently.
LeFevour can't even do that.

I've been wondering all week why the **** anyone wants Bridge or Vernon Adams around here.... Of all the things... Christ, I'm just as happy with Davis, and I'm no huge Davis fan.
I think it's because have the worst tandem of backup qbs in the CFL.

I don't think Bridge is "a much better passer". He's shown nothing but the ability to allude defenders and fling the ball, just like LeFevour.
Don't agree. He's a Rider so around here we discount ability by a further 20%. Bridge has a funny style of throwing the ball but even with that LeFevour isn't his equal.

Other than his citizenship, which doesn't matter given his position, what's the big difference between Bridge and a guy like Lefevour? Both suspect passers who try and get by on their athleticism. Did Bridge do anything that wasn't improvising on a broken play at all? Not like he's a fresh faced rookie in the CFL either, he's been around for a few years and is still the same guy he always was.
I just don't see the hype. Is it cause he came into games after Glenn ****** things up and was OK? Cause that's a totally different situation than starting games in the CFL.
Bridge is a much better passer than LeFevour. I'd take him over Le Fevour in a flash. I didn't know how bad he was until we played Calgary & their B Team defense. Conditions were bad but Nichols would have had decent numbers.

Those dumbasses could shut down the government. What idiots. Well America, you get the government you deserve.

there is a slight possibility I'm remembering the 2016 Pre-Season.......did Davis almost single handedly beat Montreal during pre-season one time?
Pre season? You can't use that for any real comparison. Defenses play vanilla. He might have been facing guys from the 5th to 7th round. Half the players from that game never made it to the regular season.

I can just imagine the 2018 Bombers trotting our there with Sam Hurl and Patrick Neufeld as starters like it’s 2015.
Why wouldn't they? They brought back Hurl as the starting MLB so why not go for the double.

Re: the Bond vs Randall debate. We have one very good quarterback on hand two ..umm...questionable ones to protect and Bond has been a valuable and solidifying presence on the O-line. On the other hand, despite Randall's efforts, our backfield got lit up a lot once again. So, close as it might seem, my vote goes to keeping Bond.
The thing is they won't.

They've spent how many high draft picks on offensive linemen? That's how it will be different. We gotta play Canadians somewhere, might as well be in positions they've invested the draft picks in.
Not Neufeld!! This decision is about as rational as going back to Hurl as MLB.

Did no one watch the last few games of the year? Neuf played just fine. His health I can understand being in question. But his ability to play guard well has been established as far as I'm concerned.
I've watched the Big Blue more than a few games & history says Patrick Neufeld can't be a long term starter as he has injury issues which keeps him out for long stretches. It happened when he was with the Riders. It happened in 14, 15 & 16 until he was eventually replaced as a starting guard. Now, they want to go back to him?This makes about as much sense as giving Sam Hurl the starting MLB spot when we all knew he couldn't start back in 2015. Only Mike O'Shea & Kyle Walters thought otherwise & we know what happened last season with Hurl back in there. It didn't work. Depending on Patrick Neufeld to be our long term starter is rolling the dice. What started the turnaround with the Bombers a couple of years ago??? Starting Travis Bond on our offensive line. Messing with it by playing Neufeld is a scary thing. Our backups will end up playing more than him which won't be good. The same ridiculous rationale for playing Hurl is going into this decision if Travis Bond leaves & signs elsewhere.

glad he landed on his feet.. thought he was a decent enough coach..
how odd is it to see our outcasts landing work elsewhere now though? Am I in the twilight zone!?
You have to get over this. We aren't the same bad football team we were a few years ago. The 2018 Alouettes are the Bombers of 2013.

Washington State qb Tyler Hilinski, a sophomore was found dead today from a single gunshot wound to the head. A suicide note was left. Hilinski was expected to be the starter next season. He was 21.

Randle no question. I really do think we need to work towards 3 Canadians on the OL.
Remember last time we did that? And Neufeld was part of that. He barely played when he started. I don't know how things will be any different this time.

Yeah they're big guys but line em up with the Bludgeon Brothers or the Authors of Pain and not so much. They've got the look of monsters but just aren't quite big enough. IMO of course.
And Ascension were badass in NXT! It's terrible what's happened to them.
Ascension just aren't very good to be honest.

Nichols is only 30. There is no desperate need to replace him. Let's find a decent QB prospect rather than hoping something finally clicks for Davis after multiple years. It just doesn't happen for some guys and no amount of time will change that.
Let's sign Durant for a great 1/2 punch and then find a legitimate QB prospect for the first time in this regime's history.
Yeah, I like that. I'm all for signing Durant. Davis is a slug whose had 3 years to figure it out. LeFevour. Is. Just. Awful. Get rid of him. Having a short yardage qb with no passing skills is just too much to sacrifice in the long term.

I remember Khari Jones father used to post as well. We had some interesting private conversations about football in general. What it was like for him as a Dad having a son who played D1 NCAA football at UC Davis & the CFL. He was interested in my son who at the time was going to NCAA football camps as a high school qb hoping to get noticed. He was a nice man but I lost track of him once Khari left the Bombers & finished his career with the Stampeders.

Man, I could go waaaaaay back on this one. The 1965 Western Final. Kenny Ploen hits flanker Ken Nielsen for the winning score vs the Stamps at McMahon Stadium. A 109 yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter! I still remember Jack Wells with the call & Ed Kotowich doing analysis on CKY AM. Man, that was exciting. Sorta like yesterday with the Vikings.

Yeah, is he still doing time? With the Canadian justice system, I'm sure he was out years ago.

They could have pursued him harder had they wanted to. I guess we didn't.

was it Brian Jack, and was he carrying something over his shoulder in a body bag?
I knew Brian Jack. He was the manager of the store upstairs at the Provencher Ave Fit Stop where all the Bombers worked out at that time.

Pink to sing the US National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Does the NFL really want it televised? Trump is licking his massively oversized jowls over that.

I didn't say it was useless as coaches need to appraise talent while forming a team but you can't base future performance on it either as there are so many variables.
