Technically they are not, but many of them will re-up (or already have)

Keeping him in a shitty system just to keep it consistent isn't the best plan either.

Yeah no.

Not saying Wild isn't a damn good LB. But the market hasn't established itself at that price point for just damn good. Maybe it will. But it hasn't yet.

Key point. Goodrich is as good of a prospect as Demski in terms of talent. He could be a very good CFL player. I like JFG and Kohlert, I don't think Watson has enough good plays left in him to be a main target. Probably the best territorial exemption we've had a chance at since I can remember. Equivalent of an additional first rounder in the CFL Draft, in my opinion.

Ian Wild as a $150,000 LB? The salary landscape has changed a little bit but I doubt it has room for an above average yet not elite American linebacker to be making a buck and a half.

Plenty of reasons for our ticket prices to be higher. I'm cool with it.

Consensus top 3 talent

Assistant coaches rarely have guaranteed deals

http://www.tsn.ca/duthie-canadian-varga-enjoying-dream-season-at-yale-1.125420 There was some doubt Varga would turn pro because of his prospects in the medical field but Varga himself has confirmed he will play pro ball - whether it's NFL or CFL. This guy is the best RB prospect since Cornish, hands down. 2015 draft eligible. Very interesting.

Don't count out Goodrich either.

If they could gather the depth, it could work. They'd need three more though.

Montreal has a very simple gameplan. Stop the other team. Throw it to Duron Carter.

If you want to get on your soap box and gloat when you are right, you're more than welcome to do so. Many of us are guilty of it. But you have to be prepared for the alternative ... wearing the horns when you're wrong. The one theme that seems to be constant around here is that the more animated you are, the more animated the responses to you will be.

Where did we make progress? The head coaching spot ... the approach to the way we deal with free agency ... the approach to the way we deal with Canadian talent ... the willingness to look within the league to fill holes on our roster ... the quarterback position ... the running back position ... the secondary ... the placekicker position ... the top end of our receiving group Where did we fail? Arguably with our coordinator jobs ... the offensive line ... the defensive line ... the linebacking group ... the bottom end of our receiving group ... We won in a lot of the areas that mattered the most. We saw progress in the standings. We're trending upwards. I'm happy. Unsatisfied, but happy.

You think Rich as the site owner disrespects this community? His mantra is a giant middle finger to the community that visits this place? And the rest of the guys who volunteer their time to this place? You should be embarrassed for even suggesting such a thing. Do you know what Rich gets out of fronting the money for this place? How much of the revenue he takes for himself in exchange for the late nights when he has to do site updates or for the money that he puts up to pay for server fees, etc? Not a single dime. It all goes to you guys. The shirts we made, the contests we run, the season tickets we donated to charity on behalf of all of our members here. All of it is for our members, not for the people who own and operate this site. There's ONE guy on our moderation team that pushes the envelope. Me. You want to suggest I'm a bad site administrator? Go right ahead. While you're at it, maybe find me some examples of how I've used my admin privileges in an abusive fashion because there's a difference between "mod abuse" and you just not liking my attitude sometimes. But it has nothing to do with the entire team that works on this place and I find it quite unbelievable that you would even suggest it does.

So you think this is a 14-3 team with a MLB, Cotton and a new DC?

He may not have straight away speed that would contribute to a strong 40 time but his in game speed is very impressive. Long smooth strides combined with strong route running and a quick break = separation. I watched Tuinei play in college every week. He has all the tools to be great.

That sucks, he played well for us.

32 rushing yards. Not 64

I'd say we're fairly lenient. That being said, you'd probably be shocked at how much we do get rid of. I won't speak for any of the other moderators or administrators around here, but I find that the majority of what I have to delete is stuff that stems from people not being willing or interested in using the report function and just taking it upon themselves to open fire on a post they deem against the code of conduct. Myself, I very rarely see any posts that our members have reported. A few now and then.

I want penalties to be called too. I just don't want it to affect the flow of the game and IMO, it does. Bombers aside, this has been the lowest quality of CFL football in quite some time. A lot of that has to do with the penalty parade. Something has to change and this is just a compromise that benefits the fans.

Interesting that you'd take my quote out of context but anyways ... all I was really pointing out is that it's interesting to me that a lot of people seem to want to make things sound even worse than they are around here ... which I can't quite understand. There's enough to be upset about without having to fabricate things.

Yes, of couse he does. But the Bombers don't. Willy getting 1% better has more value to this franchise than Marve getting 10% better. Very deceitful of you to remove the most relevant part of my post. Willy has absolutely nothing to gain from this game, especially if he's already ailing. ? It's right up there for everyone to read, it meanders thru a couple of different thoughts that just weren't relevant to my point. Do you re-read every original post thru all the re-quotes? That's pretty sweet, having that much time to kill. Willy has less to gain, not "absolutely nothing". That is because he is further along in his development. He's not at the end of it. And every gain he makes now will be incredibly important in the future. I don't think there's anything to gain from playing one more meaningless game at the end of the season. He's already played 16 games this year, and is probably looking forward to the off-season. If you don't think there's anything to gain, then why are you so invested in who starts and who doesn't? Because I believe Marve at least has something to gain, plus I firmly believe that he gives us a better chance to win. We haven't won in so long that I've almost forgotten what it feels like. If Marve has something to gain ... why wouldn't Drew Willy? Especially when he's actually come out and said he believes there is. I guess you'd know better.
