What's going thru the mind of a guy like Jake? Does he recognize how much he's dropped off? Does he sense he's more a hinderance than a help? Does he allow himself to doubt that assessment because the coaches continue to have faith in him? Expecting him to ask to be sat in favour of someone else is obviously not in the psyche of a professional athlete...but do you think he ever feels a measure of guilt or shame knowing someone else could do a better job for the team?

Having never been a pro football player I can't put myself in his shoes.

And even then he gets to either **** it for a half to full yr...some multiple yrs if you a coach fav

The point is, there were plenty of people said "hey Lawler is good just not getting lots of opportunities", where as there were others insisting that receivers weren't all that good. 
Opportunities are the key and we don't give guys opportunities unless an incumbent gets hurt or completely shits their pants.

Never ever said I was unhappy with Wilson as he is one of the vets if healthy that we dont need to move on from....so dont put words in my mouth,,,if anything I have said Kyrie if healthy is a top WIL in league and has shown as such.....,especially last 3 games
T.Jones is ok....has holes and would flourish more situationally...Is poor in his drops and isnt really capable of coverage...He was great when paired with J.Jones and was able to mirror how he dropped tho...and we need to have both on roster to be our best
And if a player is better....he shouldn't have to wait and bide time....delaying these guy coming in...what did it accomplish ir do?....zero
We are losing games due to poor coaching and roster use....guys not coached uo or schemed properly let alone at times seem prepared...Thats where we are lacking....and the roster seeming weak is also hand in hand with not playing rhe right guys we have....and not continually looking for guys to upgrade our PR and or roster
who said anything about Osh scouting?

Unfortunately not everyone is capable of that sort of introspection and change. I look at it from a perspective of what I know (broadcasting/announcing) but I'm sure we could all point to people in our given professions who are just not capable of making changes to their process. At some point in their past they enjoyed a measure of success and decided there was never a need to change.

I look at someone like Rod Smith. He is who he is. Someone gave him a job which reinforced his confidence in his style/process and he has never changed his style and he never will. Unfortunately he really isn't very good. He may have been good enough when he was hired for his first PBP gig...but he's never even bothered to considered improving/changing. So we get endless repetition of already mentioned stats/facts and non sequiturs.
MOS is who he is. He's had success being who he is. I think he feels confident that his process is fine and needs no modification. In his mind if there's issues they lie outside of him and his process.

So pathetic top to bottom in a home grey cup year

GG's giddiness is getting the best of him now, Smith should of retired years ago

No matter how many...or few...years I have left I will fondly remember the last 6+ years of Bomber football. For as grateful as I am for what management was able to accomplish I am equally as disgusted by the Cup game decisions that played a not insignificant role in dropping 3 in a row and the off season/roster decisions that are plaguing them in a year where they're hosting the Cup...especially if they flame out early.
One can be appreciative of past accomplishments while still being fed up with recurring tendencies and exceptionally poor choices. It's not easy to reinvent yourself or change your ways especially if that past pattern of behaviour has proven successful but sure as God made little green apples, a man that can't change his mind can't change anything...and Osh doesn't seem capable of changing his mind/ways.
That being said...I suspect you're right...especially with continued fan support. 
I'm also prepared to be completely wrong and gladly watch them take charge the 2nd half of the season and walk away with it all. In which case...statues for everyone!

That's a great Photoshop of lapo and Smith

That wasn’t a hold.  At all.

On the offense, OB mentioned that if you look at it by quarters, we really struggle in the third quarter. To me that shows an inability to make adjustments which is a huge mark against Hogan.

and up to last game was 13 outta 13 on them
yeah....I agree on that...takes away risk of injury to Strev....They still havnt learned how to properly use him....Even at not 100 percent yet there is so much more they could be doing with/for him

He is however 2-0 on the season

They don't get paid? 
I fn hope the other job isn't air traffic controller or crossing guard

There was a lot to like in that game, mostly in the first half.... But man that second half was, to quote @17to85, "pants on head" stupid in a lot of places...

Wheatfall did step up and make some tough catches, that was nice to see. Hope he isn't bleeding internally though
