  1. You can't take players salaries, divide them by the number of games, and apply that to our savings. You have to subtract the bonuses first. 

    Lawler for example got a $125K signing bonus so his absence saved the team about $42K. - https://3downnation.com/2023/07/20/winnipeg-blue-bombers-flex-late-on-winless-edmonton-elks-12-other-thoughts/#:~:text=It should be noted that,for each regular season game.

    For folks fretting about our Bombers my mind set for it (and life in general) is to control what you can control. Often easier said than done, but I just look at the CFL as a form of entertainment and try not to get too down when they lose.

    I also find this mentality helpful in day-to-day life...if I can't control it, why waste time worrying about it?

    No one is fretting about your mindset. You're entitled to have any mindset that you want to. That entitlement ends with you though.

    For example: I choose to be positive is good. I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't choose to be positive is bad.

    They don't get to dress another American elsewhere though.  Player is still a QB for the roster, but counts toward the 7 Canadian starters.  Likely need another Canadian starter anyway unless you have a Canadian backup QB.

    You get to start an other American elsewhere though.

    If the Cdn QB goes down & the backup QB is American, then you can change out any US starter for a Cdn player. Note that it's not a 1 to 1 change. You could change out receiver 1 on play one and a different player on play 2 etc.. You just have to keep the new ratio straight going forward.

    TBurg called and said what do you mean? There is an alternative?

    It's not the least bit exhausting nor depressing to look at things positively, negatively or realistically. It's just something that positrons say when they don't have facts on their side. It's like religions. If you don't have facts, argue the other person must be wrong anyway.

    I hadn't heard that. According to CFL.ca (hardly a reputable source for up to date CFL information, I know) QBs are still their own designation outside of National or American.

    Teams should get a tangible benefit for rostering Canadian QBs in my opinion.

    A QB is counted as a Canadian if they start. Otherwise they are counted at QB.
