Mike

How do I have no idea? I watched the same season you did.

I think it's high time Chris Schultz started getting the opportunity to interview players during the week leading up to the game.
 
"So Drew, I bet you'd agree from your time in the CFL that the best way to win a game is to put the ball in the end zone more than your opponent does, right?"

I'll go on the record and state I just don't like Romby Bryant and it has nothing to do with what football ability he may or may not have left.
 
If Romby Bryant had told Mike Kelly to go fork himself in the locker room, I would've been suggesting we throw him a parade. But he quit on the field. Visibly gave up.
 
I don't pay to watch guys living out their personal vendettas on the field. I also don't think it's fair to his teammates.
 
If he wears the uniform again, I won't boo him but I won't be sad if he doesn't pan out and if he does, when he's replaced either.

I bet if you were to ask most of them what question they were planning on asking Willy, they'd give you a blank stare.
 
"We don't know why we want him to be available but let's raise hell if he's not!"

Obviously they haven't announced their PR but that's a lot of talent to look at.
 
BRING BACK JADE

Also I'm going to go out on a limb. Bruce Johnson is going to take Suber's spot permanently

Silly complaint, who cares what the roster on a website says. Unamba and Dunn have been linebackers all throughout camp. 3 of those guys are Canadian special teamers. Suddenly 11 is 6, right where it should be.

I sure as hell wouldn't.

Says who? You?
Dunn has never played anything but LB in this league. But because a roster that means nothing says that's what he is, that's what he is?

Apparently Ford is going to play.
Looking at that roster, I see a lot of potential. Few holes. Few question marks. Really don't like Dunn or Kuale. Other than that, I'm optimistic.

So much.

This is the first season in a long time where I can honestly say we don't have the worst starting QB situation in the league.

I would say that Collaros, Reilly and Willy are the next three. They're all exciting players and that's what this league needs. I don't want to say any of them are the next Calvillo, but we need eventual successors to the trio of Ray, Burris and Calvillo. Durant has stepped up to the plate, but this league needs more QB talent and these three are it.

Starters
Bo Levi Mitchell (CAL) - 18/31, 176 yards, 2 INT
Drew Tate (CAL) - 8/17, 114 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
Henry Burris (OTT) - 22/28, 287 yards, 1 TD
Zach Collaros (HAM) - 18/26, 248 yards, 1 TD
Darian Durant (SSK) - 14/19, 189 yards, 3 TD
Troy Smith (MTL) - 11/22, 141 yards
Mike Reilly (EDM) - 20/27, 177 yards, 1 TD
Kevin Glenn (BC) - 22/29, 245 yards, 1 TD
Ricky Ray (TOR) - 7/9, 90 yards, 1 TD
Drew Willy (WPG) - 20/35, 280 yards, 1 TD
 
I listed Mitchell, Tate and Glenn as starters. Don't know who will start in Calgary, Glenn is the starter for now in BC. I would say Willy's numbers are pretty exciting if you're a Bomber fan, especially factoring in things that don't show up on the stat sheet - for example, after watching all the preseason games, it's easy to say that no QB was let down by his receivers more than Drew. I'd say the veterans clearly outplayed him (Burris, Ray, Glenn, Durant) but you can lump him right in there with Collaros and Reilly, which is really what we should be hoping for at this point.
 
The yardage total is impressive to me as well, over 100 yards more than Reilly on the same amount of completions. The completion percentage is not exactly where I'd like it, but again ... preseason receivers letting him down makes that look worse than it actually was. Everyone has to deal with it as a QB, so it's not like Willy is exclusive, but he certainly dealt with it more than any other starting QB. For those who want to keep count of this sort of thing, Willy was the victim of six drops by my count. Three by Donavon Kemp, one by Aaron Kelly, one by Jaymar Johnson and one by Rory Kohlert.

Included the list of numbers for the backups as well, if anyone likes that kind of thing.
 

So because your son played for what you viewed as a corrupt staff of junior coaches (and let's be honest, you're not likely the most unbiased person about this ... what parent would be?) you are now willing to typecast EVERY junior coach as incompetent?

Thank god the Bombers didn't end up signing him. There was a point during the offseason where we were very interested.

I certainly wouldn't start with that. You hold all the leverage

Ottawa gonna Ottawa.

God I hope we sign Jade.
 
So much.

Worth mentioning ... he actually did play special teams last year. And oddly enough, he wasn't awful at it.

Ottawa gonna Ottawa.

Ottawa gonna Ottawa.
