This forum has started to mirror what is going on in the world today, I'm right you are wrong and even when I'm wrong I'm still right.
It's mostly 2 grey cups losses, though.

The day? I chortle...
I do tend to see a lot of the nastier posts before they get cleaned up by the mods since I'm an MBB addict and check in constantly. Or perhaps it's just so normalized that anyone not affected by that sort of language simply doesn't see it or feel it. In any case, I am surprised you haven't seen it, considering you're here just as much or more than I am.
I assume you mean stuff like the comments about a former Riders' head coach?
It did take quite a bit of work to clean that kind of stuff up - but it is better now.

Man that's so unlike us (lately) to just drop a coach like that. But I definitely agree that STs were a problem of late, so maybe fresh eyes would help. Feel bad for Boo, anyhow, but hopefully he lands on his feet!
MOS decided it's 2024 - time for change.

I kinda have my doubts as well, but I think he would have great stats but get hurt, or find ways to lose games.
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

Class action isnt it? So would recover the cost of the items so $10-20?
Think of the duped children!

My guess is the ruff riders are going to keep finding out the hard way that they employ the present day most overrated qb in TH.
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...

Not at all and people like that should be counter-sued and lose money for wasting peoples time.
Because package graphics are merely a suggestion.

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

yeah...their first and second...the odd 3rd pick u mentioned.....you should nail those and have starters from there...its after that our penchant to draft 1 dimensional guys....and that dimensuon is no real chance of being a contributor outside of teams...we have a glut of that now....but on roster no ral depth behind any starter...Augustine wasnt drafted either.....by anyone actually...was a free agent pick up after the draft by 2 teams before we scooped him off the scrap pile
Yep, I know. Just like pushing back on your hyperbole once in a blue moon.

The player who obviously isnt pro calibre....but.....could contribute on ST is a poor draft strategy....look at past 10 yrs of drafts of the players other teams picked up, that we passed on who contribute as actual producing player, just to grab a guy who jumped out on teams, but offered nothing much more than that....after our first couple high round picks...we have brought in a lot of slugs and plugs....
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.

Why do I mention that? Noeller just said if Allen can be something then Ford could as well. Right now, there's really no comparison between the passing ability of Ford compared to Allen. What I see from Ford is what I've seen from every running qb who has ever come up to the CFL. A run first mentality. If a couple of receivers are covered he takes off. He doesn't have the time (or perhaps the patience) to go thru his reads because his OL is bad. So, it's not all his fault. However, a problem OL will hinder his development as a qb. Now, Ford may develop into a first rate CFL qb eventually but we'll see. He has a long way to go.
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

He's still learning... I have faith. If Damon Allen can be "something", what I've seen from Tre Ford tells me he can be at least that.
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).

Not goalied... Hate how often that gets tossed around. They couldn't finish and hit too many posts. Against a team as bad as Chicago, you need more offense... Top line didn't do enough offensively.
Agreed. Shots that are mostly low percentage chances...help the goalie stay sharp.

IIRC, Bond was only starting because Neufeld couldn't stay healthy. We already had Couture at center and Chungh at the other guard position (we had also signed Jeff Keeping as a FA but he missed the whole season).
Bond did play at a high level for us those 2 seasons but if not for injuries, would he have even seen the field?
My point is, they had the option. I doubt they could have done it without Harris at tailback. Bond was real brawler in there.

Other teams start American tackles with import backs...I dont recall a full-time starting guard being import with Harris and Bo tho
We don't even need a Canadian back to meet ratio as it is either...we just have chosen to fill that spot with a canadian
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.
