Before Douglas was hurt....he was average.  Now that may make him look like the great hope, compared to what else is going on, with the OL.....but seriously, we need some competent import OL's, to bridge the gap, while the young Canucks develop - assuming they are developing, under this coaching staff.......

In my opinion, if Walters parked himself under Wally or Huffer, he could be ready in a just a couple years -- see how the top dogs deal with their coaches, how they deal with adversity, get all their contacts, etc. 
 
Frankly, he deserves to mentor under someone more capable than Joe Mack. 

I know Douglas didn't play long, but wow was he horrible while he was in there, couldn't even get in front of Chick, Chick didn't even have to use a move on him.  Swiston was ok at tackle, his feet move well enough to play it and he knows the position from his whole life.  He never looks comfortable at guard.

imo, this article says a lot about Tim Burke, he's had no real input as a HC from day 1 which is too bad. I see names in that article like Rey Williams and Kevin Huntly, 2 positions that I have been screaming about all year and it's nice to see that he also see's it.
 
I hope Burke is given the rest of the season to work with Walters, if it doesn't work out, at least he gets a fair shake.

Contract law falls under Civil Law.

6 weeks of Collaros eh...trades prior to the expansion draft just got a whole lot more interesting...

I have no issues with them trying out the guy and seeing if maybe a change of scenery might make a difference.... but I think he's had way more then enough time to prove his worth and clearly he has been a C+ level player at best.
 
Him being a import just blows my mind since in the past we would bring in quite a bit of import players to try out on the oline.   It's not like they are impossibru to find....

They probably ordered chicken too.

OK, perhaps too much emphasis on firings.....
 
Ready for some cuttings, though.....time some people on the field, take their share of the responsibility for this debacle....

The book on Burke was always his ability to coach DB's. 2011 he had the secondary playing lights out while Coach Harris was running a top notch DL and also mentoring other defensive players. 
 
The result was a kick ass D that carried the team to a miracle GC appearance.

Somebody save this post as evidence if we never hear from Mark again.
 
I can already see the headlines ...
 
"Bomber fan beaten by entire Argonauts fanbase; one man arrested"

whatever your beverage is, a maths teacher conference is definitely a proper excuse to drink...

Absolutely. Goltz had to face by far the best two defenses our team has played so far this season.

We just canned an OC, or OL is suspect, some of our receivers are ???
 
And we're trying to evaluate inexperienced Quarterbacks?

Horrible game. Total snooze fest except for a few minutes in the fourth quarter. The Riders look very beatable

Most of us were saying it was a mistake at the time.

Careful don't be bitter, You'll upset some sensitive people here. 

Does no one remember what some other CFL starters looked like when they were rookies? Durant for one was roundly criticized on fan boards.

Agreed, it's more likely the move was prevented by a person who was recently fired...

Not that I disagree, but the same things have been said various QB's when they first came to the league. Durant, Calvillo, Glenn, Tate, etc.

CJOB is also reporting that Hall will start on Friday.

Tate is NOT the future.

Couldn't agree more.
There is no sense in trading for a 'franchise quarterback' or a 'quaterback of the future' if you aren't going to be able to protect him and put that player in the best possible position to succeed. Offense starts and ends on the line. Without protection, a quarterback can't throw the ball. Without being able to open running lanes a running back is going nowhere and won't be able to take pressure off a young, developing quarterback. The key for future success (offensively) is to rebuild the offensive line.

That's not nice to say about Lawless.....oh wait yeah it is.
