Right. And guys like Bryant, Neufeld and Willie who make a lot could end up calling it a career. Willie much less likely, but the point remains there should be enough cash for 25 to bring in some big talent in FA.

I’d tend to agree with a lot of this, except I don’t think it’s a good idea to fire MOS midseason and replace him with Buck. We can say who we’d want on here but undoubtedly that’s what the club would do. Right now, despite what some of us want, both Walters and O’Shea will get another chance to fix this for 2025. It’s arguable if one or both should, but can we realistically expect anything else? What I’d want is a fresh start with the offence. New OL first and foremost, maybe the offensive coaching staff as well. QB is a huge concern moving forward. Their best option is honestly Collaros retiring after this season. That would allow the money to fix everything else. An elite OL or 2 in FA and a mid-range salaried QB would go a long way.

GDT - Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts
The time to make this right was last December. It’s too late to do much of anything about it now. They’ve buggered 2024 completely. They’ll probably get one more offseason to fix things but the offence alone needs a full overhaul, it’s more than just a couple of pieces and tweaks. There’s nothing to build around. They could very well already be screwed for next year too if we’re being honest.

I mean, that’s how I personally am to a point but I’d hardly say the whole city. I think that kind of overestimates the emotional investment of the average casual fan.

This is the point I think @JuranBoldenRules was making throughout the year. Wilson’s a good player, but salary and injury history made him a poor fit for this season. It’s just not a position to spend much more than league minimum on. They had a rookie in TC making plays all over the place, they chose to keep Wilson and now they’re stuck with nothing and nobody.

I’d say Walters doesn’t get enough credit for 18-21. Osh probably gets too much. From my somewhat limited knowledge Andrew Harris, Chris Randle, Jamaal Westerman and a few others deserve more credit than anyone for building the locker room “culture” or whatever you want to call it. Both O’Shea and Walters own the rapid decline equally imo. Wow. They really are ******. That’s the worst looking roster I’ve seen since 2015.

Anyone I’ve ever talked to who’s dealt with Wade says roughly the same thing. “He’s a prick, but he’s a damn good businessman”

They should have had guys in place around 2022 to take over like Brady did. The MLB spot bugs me the most. Tony J might be good, for sure physically would offer more than Biggie does right now. The optics of having 2 years to find someone and the best they could do is a guy who Chris Jones of all people couldn’t find a spot for are downright terrible. We have the worst LBs in the league and it’s not close. To run out the same corps as last years GC, in Week 7 is inexcusable.

It’s because we lost those cup games, and now we’re on the way to a rebuild without the dynasty we thought we had.

I was saying it before, as someone who’s worked in them my entire adult life, this situation has all the toxic aspects that occur in a poorly managed union shop. Keeping fresh blood on the peripherals. No innovation. Catering to senior employees beyond what’s required. No current accountability for anyone who’s performed well in the past. It’s all so familiar lol.

Cautiously optimistic about Grymes actually. If his knee is healed, we can maybe squeeze a few good (or better than BA) games out of him. Wouldn’t be the worst bandaid back there. Of course there’s 3 guys already around that can play safety too, it’s still dumb, just not the dumbest

I don’t recall any pearl clutching out of Regina when Robertson headbutted Collaros last year.

I just realized they run everything like a union shop. Completely seniority based.

Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
I don’t think he’s gonna be able to do it for much longer unless they let him try playing actual quarterback. He’s already had the **** beat out of him and only started a game
