I love how you just pulled that assessment out of your ass. None of us are doing that.

Unless you are drunk, you really need to re-consider starting off posts with this statement.

I know hindsight is 20-20 but imagine if we had taken Laurent over Poblah...

I have a feeling if we had Lulay or Durant as our QB no one would be crying about our situation either. It's amazing what a difference a QB makes.

Troy Westwood played a few downs at safety IIRC.

wow - quite the bunch of Bradys if that was indeed the case.

here's an interesting factoid - Goltz grew up in a small town in Michigan but played college ball in California. Tom Brady grew up in a small town in California but went to school in Michigan. Amazing parallel!

I found this article from 2009. http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2009/05/walled_lakes_justin_goltz_does.html In the comments section it mentions that Goltz ran a 4.5 40 in school - but its a post from his uncle so who knows if it is accurate. Also interesting was the fact that Goltz and Obama went to the same school - Occidental. http://www.oxy.edu/our-story/oxy-people/obama-oxy

I watched Glenn January being interviewed about the Charleston Hughes comment and he just said "If I was in high school still I might care". Hee hee. I'd like to see the hogs put in a good effort this game as the Toronto d-line was pushing them around pretty good last game. It does help if Calgary comes in over-confident.

and the fact that he played for so many teams. I liked how Dunigan called Gord "cruel" or something to that effect when Gord pointed that out.

Yes. I believe you are right. That's when he'll put himself back on the market and end the TSN gig, after he no longer is getting paid not to coach. I think after Montreal implodes this year and they send Gary Busey packing Bart Andrus style you'll see him in Montreal as their OC. I hope they are smart enough not to hand him the HC job.

Wonder how many times that happened to Dunigan?

At least he's more honest than Lapo and Crowton.

with Goltz's scrambling ability, that hopefully will open up some holes for Simpson as they can't just stack the box like they do with Buck and force him to throw or just stand there like a deer in headlights waiting for a DT to fall on him.

I guess I'm part of the IMWT crowd by default only because I wasn't wringing my hands and screaming like some others were doing, but just saying that patience was a virture. And I definitely think that was the message that most of the people who thought JE could one day be a great receiver for us were also saying. I don't recall ever anyone saying that Etienne was Lapo's pick. How could they support that? They couldn't, as Mack is in charge of the draft. JE has always been Mack's pick, and anyone with a brain who isn't in constant panic mode knew that JE would need a few years to grow stronger and get bigger. He's done that. Now he's contributing. Why is that so hard for people to grasp? I don't get how something positive always has to be turned into a negative around here. It's just like the NDP...oh wait...I'm not getting political anymore on these boards....

I think Iannuzzi and Coehoorn would be great additions to the Bombers. That being said, Etienne is 2 years younger than Iannuzzi and three years younger than Coehoorn. Let's see how good Jade is in 2015. Hopefully by then we have a QB who can throw to him.

I have no doubt we'll be seeing Isaac in a Ti-Cat uniform as soon as tomorrow. That's why they cut Knowlton.

classless.

and cheaper. Don't forget cheaper.

yup. Beating the Bombers isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. And Toronto is really in tough if they have to now play the rest of the season without their gift from the league at QB.

Oh yeah I guess TO gets to be in the top 4 by default. Otherwise, blech.

Benevides, Hufnagel, Chamblin, ?

But at least the locker room would be fully stocked with Dove moisturizer.

I think there is a big difference. Goltz at least gets out of the pocket and makes plays, Buck just stands there like a tackling dummy waiting for his O-line to let a guy through so he can be sacked. Having a mobile QB is just such a huge weapon in the CFL, as it keeps the other team off balance. Just look at Lulay. I'd say his passing skills are average at best, but he makes plays happen and always has to have a guy spying him as he's a constant threat to just take off with the ball. Goltz has that same threat, whereas no one is afraid of Buck's scrambling anymore.
