    Why is the depth chart lousy cuz the guys who complain about literally everything says so? Cuz why. Guys who they hype up aren’t on the AR yet? Cuz ppl complain about let me guess. Cuz Jake Thomas right. Or cuz a rookie American rb isn’t on the roster eventho we have the best rb in the league. But hey Greg mcrae cuz that worked out so well or wait Damian Jackson who actually played special teams and made some tackles. I mean why is the depth chart lousy ? Cuz 4 ppl say so? 

    2 main issues to me are, one WR injury away from Corcoran being out there every play and no DE depth for 2 guys in their 30s.

    and dark socks halfway up the calves with shorts....I see someone doing that I wanna kick em in the face....there's a lot of people I wanna kick in the face....particularly in the gym

    My Dad used to coach track and basketball. If anyone would wear dark socks with shorts, they’d never hear the end of it. 
    “You know, white socks would make you run faster” 

    “Really?” 

    “No, you just look stupid with those ones”

    my completely unqualified opinion is that football commentary is a team sport.  You want complementary energy -- a high-energy goofball (Neilson, Dunigan, Walby) with a more chill straight man (Forde, Smith, Ferguson, Lapo).  Without Dunigan the energy is imbalanced. 

    Smith in particular needs someone who brings energy into the booth.  I think the guy is the best PBP guy on TSN even though at times he's got the vibe of a funeral director.  But you put him in the booth with Dunigan and that's basically the best that CFL TV can do.

    Gonna miss Matty.  I hope his retirement is awesome and completely on his terms.

    I don’t care for Rod Smith as a pbp, although he’s better than Neilson. Smith has a bad habit of just stretching out the name of whoever made the play and calling the action after the fact like he’s still doing highlights. 
    “Oliverrrraaaaaa….” (Whistle blows and team goes into the huddle) “Comes close to a first down there”

    Look at the tackle numbers that Awe got...he'd be highest paid player in league by your metrics...now go look at him...and the others...where relative to l.o.s were they made...how many were after yards were gained....2nd downs converted...how many were for 0 yards...or lost yards...then get back to me...obviously you've never graded a football game

    Who the eff is Marty York lol

    No doubt. I wonder what Scott Taylor thinks 

    Just now, Pete Catan's Ghost said:

    Marty York, Scott Taylor & Jim Bender.

    If there was a Mt. Rushmore of sportscasting irrelevance, they would be on it. 

    Haha beat me to the Scott Taylor reference

    Ohh that’s some spicy picks I like it. 
     

    Id love to see every team in the play off picture going into the last week. 

    I feel like it’s a parity year. I don’t really see anyone head and shoulders above the rest. Bombers/Argos slightly above and everyone else pretty well even.

    so peruse this and tell me what you see says guy cant throw or run an actual offense....from 3 min mark through to the 4:30 mark shows ability to make throws in pocket with heat in his face and drop nice balls from a roll out/sprint.....and many of those runs were from a escape from pocket or a designed play Not bashing up the gut....and teams had tpo respect it...the 5:37 mark in particular..pocket collapsed but teams had to respect the reciever routes and he has ability to bust straight up gut and gouge the defence for a 30+ yard score...and in the first yr there was many like that...as well as his runs outside....when teams didnt basically have a run telegraphed to them with the stupidity we put him thru ;last yr

    I recall too in MTL at game I was at him dropping a 50+ yrd dime on Simonese down the rail from pocket in our endzone as well....dude has ability if allowed to actually play as a traditional QB....and he actually a more polished and refined passer now...he's evolved his technique and mechanics....4+ yrs in the NFL will help with that

    A guy who showed he can excel and knows the CFL game...and then 4 yrs getting better in the NFL to come back....foolish to not turn him loose as a QB

    Agree on all of this but just saying it was Brian Bennett who dropped that bb to Simonese

    People sleeping on him thinking he’s like the late stages oft injured Hallett boys. Kelly’s a legit run and cover guy. Impressed me with physicality and ability to play down hill against the run. Small sample size, but he’s shown a hell of a lot of promise. 
     I’m not a fan of the token Canadian at S that teams have frequently run out. Including us at times. But Kelly isn’t that guy. 
     

    Should change his name tbh. Aside from being a cooler name, once the ball is snapped kola hits the vanishing point. 
    … I’ll show my self out lol 

    I thought Kelly was a keeper when he dominated Davarius Daniels 1v1 in the preseason game last year. The Halletts and Ian Logans of the world would not be able to make a play like that.

    Hell no,  Boltus was only ever spoken about being the bottom of the long list of mediocre qbs that came and left post Mike Kelly era.   

    Joey Elliott was the guy that was beloved and a few people who are still on these boards used to preach about him on a frequent basis. 

    I’ll die on that hill. Elliot could have been something with a half decent team around him.

    Please ante up for Holm. He’s the total package imo. His style of play and demeanour brings so much to this team. He is not dime a dozen. 

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to lose any DBs, I’m just not sure they have the money to keep him and Ford. They’ve got a lot of talent in the secondary under contract already.

    I think that’ll be the case. Plus with soo much front office turnover, I think we see things run a bit differently now. 
     

    Hes sub lawler/schoen but close to the top tier of WRs. That said I think that’s pretty much top dollar for WRs now. I don’t think any one is handing out 285-300k for WRs any time soon. 
     Lawler already came back for less, he’s about to turn 31, hasn’t played 18 games in one season ever, and only eclipsed 1k yards once (by 13 yards). 
     Hes done a lot in limited time, and on any given game day you’d be hard pressed to have a better guy to throw to up here. But I don’t see teams risking big dollars on him now. I think he remains a bomber for a bit over 200k. 
     Schoen the question of when he will be ready and how close to 100 he will be is big. 
     Buck would be the biggest threat to scoop either imo, but they already have a wr to lock up and lots of money spent. 
     

    I think the guys that’ll be hard to retain are Dobson, ford, holm and I could see teams trying to drive up the market on Lofton to hurt our cap space. 

    I can’t find the article but Holm while not explicitly saying he was leaving the Bombers pretty much implied he was going to at least entertain offers from other teams.

    So how long into the new year do we wait for the call on the new OC.....Ranks are getting thin out there as far as CFL availabilities....Would be nice to get an inkling about the direction we're heading....Jackson looks  to be the best option........the wheels are slowly turning when it comes to this hire, but I guess it's more important to get it right

    How long into the new year before they do anything at all? OC, player personnel dept,  re-signings. Feels pretty directionless. 

    Out of that huge FA list, Bryant signed (who wasn’t realistically going anywhere else) Tony Jones, Sergio and a couple of jobbers.

    FA is a month away so they’ve got some time but tbh it seems like they’re flying by the seat of their pants more so than other years.
