It's not just about old vs. Young. Also have to consider the position and relative importance to a team. Reality is that qbs are a hell of a lot harder to replace than receivers are and quarterbacks mean so much more to a team. I don't want winnipeg playing games with Collaros health, but a guy like Ellingson? Ehhhh big deal. Bc should be treating Rourke very carefully because he is that important to them not only on the field but as part of their brand rebuilding.

Boy did you just sum up your entire philosophy there.... You need context with everything because it is a bad look for a team to gamble with their young franchise player with his entire career ahead of him... while it's not nearly such a bad look for an old receiver to gamble coming back because he's nearly done anyway.

It's 2 years plus an option. "No we're not picking up the option, but hey here's a new multi-year deal as your 2nd contract". Pretty standard stuff really.

Yeah and that doesn't really say what you think it does... if they just do an option year sure, but they would be doing a new contract which would not have those limitations, and even the doesn't look to me like there are limits to anything other than base salary...

Yeah putin seriously overplayed his hand here. Why would countries go back to an unreliable source now?

Couldn't remember his name but Edwards was a legit reporter who gave that place credibility. Now it's just fanboi bloggers playing at being reporters

Part of looking at all sides is looking at the source. Which is what makes you a fool if you actually believe the crap you're posting. More likely you are just following the bad faith playbook so many use.

Would be curious to see who the team would nominate anyway....

Collaros ain't coming back from a half season off. And if he was hurt to the point he couldn't play a full game he wouldn't even dress.

Question is, did they bring ellingson back early or is he just old and fragile?

So he will start... but Vaj will still play more... so then basically it is just a PR scam eh.

An aging receiver is entirely different than a young star qb. Entirely different. Hell any qb is different than an aging receiver

Rhymes could have easily been their MOP nominee. Canadian I dunno. Bc sucks.

He was out half the year!

Why are we so blessed?

With this gif you win the internet today.

I am still in the "i'll believe it when I see it" camp on this one. Known lions mouthpiece Farhan Lalji seems to be laying it on a little thick here.

I am going to hold you to that and if he doesn't it's all your fault.

That's because you all bought the crap about them being a contender. The problems were there to see in 2019 if you cared to see them. The smoke and mirrors just ran out this year.

Which is just stupid because this isn't anywhere close to the worst rider team... it's just that rider fans so deluded themselves into believing their team was better than it is. They feel the team was better so it must be something bad to have this kind of season. Everything we said about that team here came to pass... rider fans didn't want to hear it though. Objectively this is probably right where the riders should be... bubble playoff team.

So I actually kind of do think it was when the released Marino that the team quit... but doesn't that just show how insane the culture there is? Team tries to discipline guys and they completely revolt and give up. Gonna take a lot to clean the stink out of that franchise.

If the rider fans truly are as great as they believe they are and keep telling everyone they are then there should be absolutely no problems filling the stands and selling merchandise right?

Yeah the Stamps are going to be critical before anyone realizes it if they don't step up.

Imagine going all in on Cody Fajardo

One of the companies we contract with hires a bunch of temporary workers from Mexico... they did not look impressed when I saw them this morning.
