If you couldn't see Biggie labouring and unable to make plays, I don't know what to tell you.  He was not particularly good in that Grey Cup game and really had no business being on the field.

I don't care where it comes from (rookie or free agency), I just want to see one powerful boat anchor of a man lining up at defensive tackle this season.

Oakman would be a nice stop gap...give us 2 freaks along the dline and I bet the culture and the room here would set him on the path to a big season...I'd be fine with that

You’re missing the point.  You don’t need a RB who can put up 2000 yards from scrimmage to win in this league.
You need a deep, complete roster (and a quarterback).

This.
Look, I'm happy Brady is a part of the team and I've also been an advocate of signing and retaining local players going back to my days on OB.  However, if we look at the CFL (and running backs in general), it is a largely disposable position and I feel the money could have been better spent plugging holes across the roster.  Hell, I'll even come out and say that if the the spend on Brady is what costs us Schoen, I'd be disappointed.  "Bradyball" or not .. if he goes down, you're going to have to plug the spot with an American back anyways (see last year).  Lose a guy like Schoen, we literally have nobody stepping in to fill that void.  We have a terrible track record of integrating new WRs into our offense and seeing them any sort of have sustained success.

As far as I’m concerned Schoen is still a bomber until it’s announced he’s not cuz I don’t think this is an either or situation 

yeah...Its not about being spoiled....My opinion...and mine only is that we could have paid an import back a third of that, and got excellent production, and have solidified our Dline, and likely another Dback or linebacker, and been a deeper...stronger team.....
Was it the team feeling the need to sign the local guy?...I don't have that answer, but I could care less where a player came from to be honest...and now does this have an effect that is why we signed Thomas...Kolo on value deals, Already have Bennett on a rookie deal and will be seeing heavy does of them all yr basically just taking u a roster spot...Backed up by a Schmeckle....and WJ having one of Haba/Garbutt or a diff new recruit as his running mate...and nothing behind him? and also hinders us bringing back a BOLO?...Then to me it's totally not worth it....Juice def not worth the squeeze...Hopefully Walters has some crazy magic going on to allow us to not have to rape Peter to pay Paul

I’m talking about with us - and it was basically 2016- 2019. 
 
Brady walked into a finished product - and everyone knew Harris was getting the ball. 
 
Again, I love Brady, best back in the league. The contract is too high in my opinion. 
 

True - but Bradyball works better when you have a lead. That comes after Schoen racking up TDs. 
 
I love Brady, I’m glad he is back - he is the best RB in the league. However, giving him bank is not high on my priority list.
