You folks sure are getting your panty's in a twist over something we've all known was going to happen for more than a month. Kelly was the starting QB for the team that tied for the most regular season wins in the league ever. He was against Brady O who had the most rushing yards for a Canadian in a season but was not in the top 5 CFL rushing seasons overall. If Brady played for the Argos, he'd have won.

East Final GDT - Argonauts vs Alouettes
TBURGESS replied to MOBomberFan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Montreal is a good team. They won't be worried about playing us like a lot of teams. Beating the top team in the league by wins was huge for them last week. They are deeply invested in the 'Us against the World' storyline. We look better in most categories, but Toronto looked better too. I don't think they have the players to beat us straight up, but a couple breaks going their way could tip the scales. They have the D to control Brady O and a running game which means it won't be like it was last week against BC. Their O is a ton of short shots with the occasional deep shot. They have to hit some of those deep shots to have a shot. I'm hoping for a close game, cuz blowouts are boring to me. -
I can't stand GC parties. I just want to watch the game. In fact, I sent my wife to a GC party without me once. Yah, just the once.

Kelly had the thousand mile stare. He looked completely overwhelmed after he threw his first pick. -

What happens if the GTD's can't go? Are we allowed to replace them before game time or is the roster the roster? -

I watch every game every season. I've maybe missed 3 games in the last decade. -
Congrats to @MOBomberFan! I fought the good fight but it looks like I was bested again this year.

CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
TBURGESS replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'll give you Zach and VAJ (2 QB's also in the MOP discussion), but Brown and Maier? Come on. You're usually better than that. Let's say we had to replace Zach with Brown this year, we didn't miss a beat and won more games than we did last year. Wouldn't you expect Brown to be the MOP of the team & likely the league MOP? I would. -

Not what I said nor what I meant. I think we are at the top end of the SMS, maybe slightly over. That means we need to cut vet or two to make room for Schoen's much bigger salary next year. Paying two receivers top dollars means skimping somewhere else. -

A sophomore QB with one start under their belt being a difference maker is a huge story. It's bound to have a bearing on the vote. -

He isn't up against Collaros for the MOP. He hasn't played much in the last 4 weeks because Toronto has been guaranteed 1st in the east for the last 6 weeks. -

We can't afford to pay both Schoen and Lawler top dollars. I'd take Schoen over Lawler. -

TBURGESS replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Kelly started and excelled in his 2nd year after only having a single start in his first year. He took over the Grey Cup winning team and actually made it better. He's on Toronto, the center of the world. I expect he will get MOP. -
1. Like that the coaches found a way to exploit the rule. Can't see any good way to 'fix' the rule. Gotta go 10 yards means blocked punts have to go 10 yards past the LOS before that kicking team recovers to keep the ball. Right now it's just past the LOS which is why the dribble kick works. 2. If Zach struggles, we leave him in to right the ship. Dru did well against Calgary who only won 6 games & who didn't pressure him all game long, but that's not a likely WF scenario. 3. I doubt that either Brown or Steveler will be on the Bombers next year.

Winnipeg Versus the Ponies Aka Battle of the Reserves GDT
TBURGESS replied to rebusrankin's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I agree. Realistically, it's Ottawa, Hamilton, or Regina and any of those teams could decide to just keep their vet QB instead. Shultz & Evans both have way more experience which means they are less risky to move forward to #1. -

Arbuckle got a ton of chances and never lived up to his 'potential'. He's the perfect example of why you don't give a young QB a starting job with a bunch of money. You give them a chance to compete for the starting job, a lowish base salary with a bunch of bonuses for being THE guy. I disagree that Dru would be the best QB on most of those teams. -

TBURGESS replied to rebusrankin's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I don't think any team gives Brown a starting job or starting salary. Ottawa could dump Mazoli, sign Brown to compete for the starting job and use the savings to upgrade the rest of the team. Riders could dump Harris, sign Brown to compete for the starting job and use the savings to upgrade their O line. Montreal could dump Faj-jj... etc. Hamilton could dump BLM... etc. Edmonton will continue with Ford as he gave them hope this year. Stamps will continue with Maier as he got better in the 2nd half of the season. IMO, the most likely spot is Ottawa where Dru would get the most money and have the easiest route to starting. -

If the 3 of you could have said that a month ago, we'd all have been better off.
