I think it would be silly to bring back Bryant and Neufeld. They've been done for 3 years. They've been given multiple chances to run it back, and they get worse every season.

I don't worry much about D for Canadians. It's pretty easy to find guys that can fill roles to have 2-3 on the field. But holy **** is our offense depleted in general and especially for Canadians.

Willie is kind of a classic issue at the rush end position. His ceiling is so disruptive, but his every down play is terrible. The best he's ever been is a rotational guy which isn't a slight, it's just a fact of the skills and down to down compete level he has. If you can have him play 6/10 snaps on D, you'd be happy. And that's even in his prime. I don't really see a reason to bring him back at anywhere near his current salary. If he'd sign for like $115,000 and a ton of bonuses I'd consider it.

Peterson can hit a gap but haven't seen him survive and manage contact. Also near zero involvement in pass game. Would need a tremendous OL for him to be a serviceable regular option and he'd need to get a lot better too.

Bourgoin, Costanza, Jarryd Baines, Marcus Howell Guys with a lot of CFL experience but basically zero experience as play callers at any level.

The guy has pretty clearly been blacklisted by the NFL and FBS/FCS levels of NCAA. He goes from 15 years in the NFL to one year in the circus in Montreal with Dan Hawkins to D3 to a year in a spring league to the CFL again with a pretty dysfunctional organization (not that I think O'Shea etc. would see that since it's a lot of his buddies involved). He's up here making $90,000 Canadian. Think you'd have to do some pretty significant due diligence on why that is before you give him a leadership role.

Mike Miller = bye bye Brady. Has a resume almost as great as Mike Kelly's.

Holy **** is there some bad crack going around town? I'm still disappointed we gave up so quick on Max Hall.

I don't believe it's that rigid. Just that he knows if he spends $300,000 on a Z receiver that means one of the slot receivers has to be a rookie kind of thing. Pretty standard budgeting.

Calgary hasn't hosted a playoff game since 2019 and hasn't won anything since 2018. They've been down for a long time by CFL standards, especially when Edmonton and Ottawa are so bad too. QB play in the league is bad. If you protect Zach and give him some receivers we could have the best offense in the league pretty quick. It's basically Rourke, Alexander and everyone else. Harris is consistently average, BLM and VAJ had a few good games but are terribly inconsistent. Arbuckle and Fajardo can get you 6-7 wins. Keep in mind all these other QB's were scrap heaped long ago. Harris was dumped by Edmonton and Montreal 4-5 years ago and just won the Grey Cup. Who do you go get that gives you a better chance to win a CFL game than Collaros tomorrow? If you're thinking you're just going to throw a rookie on the field and magic....well go back from about 1995 to 2016 and live that over.

Failure to thrive in adulthood. Have heard similar issues about the kid from Murdoch too. The prep schools really stunt people who don't have the best grounding and adult involvement.

Uh Oh! CFL not the only ones moving the goalposts!

MBT is wrecked too. He did not get a needed elbow surgery because they literally had no one to bring in.

Funny that we've reached the point in the cycle where MOS just doesn't love his Canadians enough, or in the right way. Sure we could find receipts about how people felt about giving Jesse Briggs reps at WIL, having Kramdi take a breath on a CFL field at all. **** almost wish he went to Toronto so we could get our board back.

Honestly I think they should worry about making the draft relevant first. That's an actual event. Free agency isn't really. It's streams and trickles of information over 2-3 weeks. Free agency in the giant leagues is big because there's basically networks that exist to cover that. TSN/SN primarily cover the NHL. ESPN covers NFL, NBA and MLB. All of these leagues have their own networks in the USA with some carriage in Canada. They talk about this **** 24/7 and most of the time with the NHL and July 1 they have almost nothing to talk about. It's dead air and they have no competition other than people finding someone to do outside. How did my browser land on Facebook?
