Fred C Dobbs

I guessing the lure of sitting ground level in a lawn chair acts more as a deterrent.

I never understand guys like TuscaloosaBlue or Migs.  Come on to a board and post complete BS just to get people riled up.  A pathetic need for attention, I guess.

TIm Burke was a very likeable person, he was just in a bad situation...I agreed he wasn't a good head Coach material but he did the best he could and I respect the person he is...

ehhh differing opinions are fine, blatant trolling (and poor trolling at that) is completely different. 

What? Did you watch practice or preseason at all last season? All I hear about Marve is how well the guy can throw. Marve was the Bombers' best QB in training camp, and maybe even in practice, last season and was very good with limited reps in the regular season. The offence performed incredibly well with Marve at the helm, considering the circumstances (down by 16 against the best team in the league in the first game, awful weather in the second one). They scored 29 points (should've been 36) in the 53 minutes that he played. He was only sacked once during that time, did not throw an interception nor fumble the ball... He basically did everything necessary to win games.
 
Marve has excellent potential, and frankly, I think it's stupid to suggest he might not stay on the roster.

As long as the Riders suck and we make the playoffs. I don't care how any other position in the standings turns out. Riders out/Bombers in = good season. Bombers winning the Grey Cup....oh man...I would hold the land speed record for joining a forum and getting kicked off a forum...yes Riderfans I'm talking about you.

Beat the Riders 3 times.

Oh yes of course ...
 
Jock Cartier ‏@JockCartier  41m41 minutes ago Best of luck to the Argos new owners. She's a bit of a fixer upper but lots of character and tons
of potential! #CFL
 

It goes sequentially and I believe each GM knows the previous highest bid.
 
 
Another good article from 3downnation:

@DarrinBauming: #Riders GM Brendan Taman tells @hustlerlawless OL Sukh Chungh was the best player in the draft and #Bombers "nailed it."

I don't see Demski dropping to us at #11. I'm full of cynicism though when it comes to things ever working out for us.

Being from Saskatchewan, there's a good chance that his parents were twins...

Funny thing about the draft, you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes well you just might find you get what you need.

Apparently Kyle Walters said that on CJOB yesterday. Penton quoted him in the Sun:

I wonder if there's some more vets who might be out of work very soon.

Says you. I know hundreds who would disagree, including area residents, U of M faculty, and season ticket holders like me.
 
The location sucks. Lets spill out of the game onto Bison drive and stumble 4 miles to Boston Pizza. Woo hoo. 

Harrumph to the anti-Peach crowd. All's the guy did was put in a stalwart effort, game in game out, got a respectible number of sacks and a good D-line total of tackles...all in a putrid system. He should be acknowledged, not ho-hummed.
He will be like any other player on the Bombers. If he cannot make the grade, he will be replaced. He, at least, should be given the same chance and consideration on this board.

I'm really going to have a hard time agreeing that it's a good idea to force one of Anderson, Turner and even Nate Collins (who I think is going to be a stud up here) to the inactive roster.
 
I agree it's possible, but I don't like the thought of it.

Smelling a pub night that weekend...MBB gathering.....

For sure. In the run-up to the 2012 Super Bowl, he got a very flattering write up in Sports Illustrated:

I hope the Bombers take a long hard look at this guy.

Yeah, I'm not sure having 25% of your starting lineup really strong and 75% kinda meh is a formula for success.
 
Every GM we've had has demonstrated some positives and some negatives.  What with them being human and all...

First thing I noticed is that Hurl is penciled in at WIL not MLB. All new imports in the middle.
 
 
edit: And Tim Cronk is our new long snapper.

I agree with Booch, I don't think Hurl is a lock to be our MLBer. Of course, the Bomber brass is going to say that he will be given every opportunity to play there, and that they think he is ready. It was probably their recruitment pitch to him as well. However, I doubt very highly he is pencilled in as the starting MLBer prior to camp. He will have to earn it, and if he doesn't, the Bombers will not think twice about playing him elsewhere or making him a backup MLBer.
That being said though, I don't believe that Hurl played badly at MLBer last year. IMO, he was the victim of team politics. It is fairly well know that Chamblin does not really value NI players. He thought Kilgore was a stud MLBer, and when he turned out not to be, he blamed Hall. At the same time the Riders were trying to protect the fragile ego of Darian Durant who was having a disastrous season. Shifting the blame to the defence for narrow victories against Ottawa and other Eastern division cellar dwellers in an effort to do so.
The stats tell the story. During the time that Hurl was in as starting Mike, the Riders had the 3rd ranked defence in the league, 2nd overall in Points Against. This plummeted after Hurl was relieved of his starting position. Hurl's absence was not the only reason for the defensive decline but replacing him sure didn't make them better either. Bottom line, the Rider fans knew they were not watching a high calibre team last year. Instead of putting the blame where it belonged (Durant and recruitment) they decided to blame Hurl and call for a new saviour in Kilgore. Hurl got a bad rap last year. He wasn't perfect but he was a rookie who did not at all look out of place. I look forward to seeing him take a big step forward.
 
 

Don't worry the Draft Guide is coming... 

Fiddlesticks.

Hey, I hope you're right on this. Curran was #2 on my FA wishlist.
