Agreed. He would have good numbers but we'd be a .500 football team In 2015 for the Argos and 2016 for the Redblacks - he played some of his better ball Yet, a 41 year old Burris had to come off the bench and take over the Redblacks in 2016

Think of the duped children!

Another guy who can be serviceable, with good pieces around him. Plenty of grey cups have been won that way. But alas...the Riders have hardly any...

Because package graphics are merely a suggestion.

It's worth a try - the defendant has deep pockets. If she irritates them enough, they might give her a settlement.

Plus also...he never played in Fort Hew

^^ Fast food ads are next...

No kidding. Anyone who complains about Winnipeg mosquitoes, should drive several hours north and go outside after dark.

I particularly appreciated what he accomplished when he was older. Played within his limitations, aware that he had a good Argo team around him. As has been said, a kid like Ford could do that, given the training.

I agree - never said he wasn't a good QB.

Yep, I know. Just like pushing back on your hyperbole once in a blue moon.

To a certain extent, sure. But the Bombers have drafted plenty of good players - some of which were lost in FA or retired: Oliveira, Augustine, O'Leary Orange, Desjarlais, Eli, Goossen, Chungh, Wolitarsky, Thomas, Dobson, et. al.

I recall a younger Damon Allen also taking off after his first or second read. The 'savvy vet' version of Allen played more along the lines of what you describe

I think that's a good comparison. Teams put the right pieces around Damon Allen, and won championships with him - even at 42 or whatever it was. No one asks how you won a championship (unless you're the 2007 Riders).

Pruned some posts. Give peace a chance.

The Argos generally have a pretty decent OL. It'll be interesting to see how MBT fares elsewhere.

Agreed. Shots that are mostly low percentage chances...help the goalie stay sharp.

My point is, they had the option. I doubt they could have done it without Harris at tailback. Bond was real brawler in there.

Travis Bond - we had 3 Americans on OL when he was starting. IIRC, it was for 1.5 - 2 seasons. Of course don't 'need' a Canadian back, but it has served us rather well.

Well, I like that fact that Canadian RBs have allowed the Bombers to start Americans at Offensive Tackle and even at Guard - that has been a real strength of the team.

It's a fairly recent change, when the newest CBA bumped the minimum to 70k they made the minimum apply to all players regardless of Nationality "The CFL minimum salary will increase to $70,000 in 2023 and $75,000 in 2027. That minimum will apply to players regardless of roster designation — National, American and Global. Global players were previously limited to contracts of $54,000, lower than the league minimum."

Sounds like they're playing for pizza & beer.

It has not been a given that a big physical team wins the cup.

It could've been a bloody Saturday.

Best not strike anything, on the way in.
