How would you police that with offensive and defensive linemen? Those collisions happen on virtually every play.

How someone could be upset or annoyed by Muamba taking his time and doing what's best for him is beyond me. It's really not something worth expending any energy over.

Guys, I understand that discussing politics can often be a heated and divisive subject but I would ask that you treat one another with respect and attempt to further the conversation rather than 'attack' individual posters (or insult those who may not agree with your particular view). If you can't discuss the topic without resorting to name calling or other base dialogue, perhaps this topic isn't for you.

Volume on the Walters FA presser is terrible.

If I could dust off my Muamba jersey, I’d be a happy guy.

They better be loading up on defense because that unit is going to be on the field an awful lot this year.

I'd be excited for some defense .... any time now.

Happy about the Demski signing but, to me, this underscores the need for some sort of restricted free agency in the CFL. It's a bitter pill to swallow for any team to "lose" a draft pick after spending that rookie contract developing the player.

I think that's what the torch is for.

Doing the 'Drive to 55' bump.

Guys .. stop the petty back and forth. I'll ask nicely just once.

I’m not a professional athlete and don’t have near the same resources at my disposal but returned to Olympic Lifting (and was near 100%) 10 week’s after a full Achilles rupture (surgery included). Every case is obviously different (and I certainly healed quickly) but it’s not the career ending injury it used to be.

Hey guys. Lots of discussion RE: Wilder going on in the offseason thread. Let's take it there (mega thread or not) ..

This. It doesn't take a massive blow to rattle your brain around in it's bucket and cause long term damage.

l like Wild but my initial feeling is that those dollars could have been better used elsewhere.

Bombers Re-Sign Wild.

No. You can't.

Zylstra just signed a futures contract with the Vikes.

Looks like the Bombers have signed Nevis to a one year contract.

Merry Christmas all. Hoping Santa treated everyone well!

With respect to Warner, at that point in time, he was something of a journeyman .. bouncing around after going undrafted in 94. He started that season as the backup to Green but Green blew out his knee in preseason. So yeah .. he did carry St. Louis through the entire season but was the backup going into that year.

In the NFL, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Trent Dilfer (with the help of a pretty amazing Baltimore defense) and Terry Bradshaw are all guys who immediately come to mind as backups who have led their teams to championships (I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them off the top of my head). I can't think of a recent CFL quarterback to do it .. but honestly, it's becoming more and more common that a starter goes down at some point during a season and a backup takes over for a stretch and ultimately helps a team 'get there'.
