Give me a break. There are better qbs out there that haven't been signed. Free agents. It's called RECRUITING, Mike. I've heard of recruiting once or twice. I'll try explaining once more. How can you, as a fan, say Davis is worth cutting when you're basically going off absolutely nothing? You say there are better quarterbacks out there. Obviously. But if that's your argument, we may as well just cut everyone because we're not rostering the best anything in the whole world right now. I'm asking you - how can you justifiable say with any confidence that he should (or should not) be cut when you're giving a blind opinion on the topic? We haven't seen him do anything, good or bad. Mike, this is a merry go round with you. Round & round. As usual when you start up with me it always ends this way. You're actually arguing with me over the merits of keeping a fourth string qb?? What I said was my opinion. If I could see this discussion actually going somewhere I'd be more interested in carrying on. I'm done talking to you. Buh bye. It's funny because everyone can see I've actually been trying to get your take on something for like the last 8 posts and you just keep dodging it. You can blame me for a merry-go-round if you want but I'm not the one refusing to answer a simple question. Iso's gonna Iso

IF nichols left for greener pastures and IF davis or boyd show fhat they some serious seasoning to do.. Then sure.. Otherwise no. Wait are you implying you'd rather have Nichols than Glenn as the backup qb? Cause Glenn is head and shoulders a better quarterback than Matt Nichols has ever been or will ever be.

Unless you have proof that Harper had experience leading another country before he ever became our Prime Minister. Otherwise he had NO EXPERIENCE being a Prime Ministwr. Not to mention that Harper was a similar age as Trudeau is when he first became PM so it's not like he was some old guard politician either. You want an honest opinion? Trudeau is probably more qualified to be a rookie PM than Harper just because of who Trudeaus dad was. The guy has been around politics and politicians his whole life no doubt. In situations like that you have to be pretty ignorant to not pick things up.

This is basically how I feel. I'm somewhat of a fiscal conservative, and I think the current incarnation of the Grits are, too. I'm less concerned with Justin as the face, as I am about who the cabinet ministers will be. Have a good money nerd in charge of the finance portfolio, and I'm totally fine with them in power. Like Dave said earlier, the current LPC is a lot closer to the Con's than people realize, just with a more like-able leader, imo. Harper is just such a complete tool and shoulda been tossed a long time ago. The real difference is that the Liberals have no problems flat out lying about what they really are in a campaign. Oh sure Justin might want to be more left leaning, but the party won't let him go too far. Campaign on the left govern on the right, that's the Liberal way. Tell people what they want to hear and do what needs to be done. It's not a bad system if you're OK with habitual liars running the country.

Well at least we won't have to hear about how it's only Harper that can save Canada from the evils of the world.When our economy doesn't self destruct because Harper isn't personally running it what then? I can hear you pro cons yelling the horror the horror. Oh please, I might be more conservative than anything else but I'm certainly not in the camp that believes the only people who can run things are the Conservatives. My beef with the Liberal party is how they love to piss all over Western Canada in order to pander to Quebec and Ontario. Otherwise I would actually fall in line with their platform pretty well.

What I can't wait to see is how much spinning the anyone but Harper crowd reacts when they realize that the Liberals have been more similar to the Conservatives than anyone else all along. That alone is likely worth the price of admission.

Momentum is strong in politics and the Liberals are going strong with it right now. Appears like they're headed to a majority and I say good. I actually like majority governments, a lot less bullshit and the string of minorities we had really did contribute to how utterly childish the parties have become. I have hated the Conservative campaign from day one. It's made me not want to vote for them honestly and I'm a guy that would self identify as more conservative than anything. I'll likely end up voting for the Conservative candidate because I like him better than the Liberal one but still, the way they've gone about campaigning this year the Conservatives deserve to lose.

but look at the size of those arms, he'd be able to toss people around pretty good.

15 years? No maybe 10 though, I'd have a hard time rating any defence behind the crap that Jim Daley put us through.

Most of that is based in differences in ideology though so is it really evidence?

Bruce Johnson is absolutely NOT better than Washington.He is. Not

They should say "Fine, we'll start a feud" and start taking bets on when the Ottawa team will fold AGAIN because their fans suck.

Bruce Johnson is absolutely NOT better than Washington.

He's had one outstanding season and one absolutely awful season. I'm not currently inclined to believe that this slump is an aberration. and if it is and you give him away we'll hear bitching about it for years and years and years. The guy showed too much last season for me to worry long term about a bad sophmore year when he had the punting job put on his plate again as well.

Really tired of Bellefools bullshit offense but nothing to be done now, just have to wait until the offseason. Sneak into the playoffs this year and pray for a miracle but then get a proper offense in for next year. Hall has tweaked the defence nicely as the year has gone on and the STs look a lot better with O'Shea calling the shots, only one area continues to suck the life out of the team.

SERGIO!

Difficulty, the special teams don't appear to be benefiting from all those extra lbs.

Just wondering, do these polls reach people through social media or are they conducted as in the past, strictly by phone? • Ballot tracking reflects only the first choice given by decided voters • A national dual-frame (land+cell) random telephone survey is conducted nightly by Nanos Research throughout the campaign using live agents. Each evening a new group of 400 eligible voters are interviewed. The daily tracking figures are based on a three-day rolling sample comprised of 1,200 interviews. To update the tracking a new day of interviewing is added and the oldest day dropped. The margin of error for a survey of 1,077 decided voters is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. • The margin of error for weekly surveys before Sept. 4 is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20 This is way off topic, but if there are any statisticians out there, can you tell me why they phrase things like this. Is the margin of error +/- 3 or not .... if this happens to be the 20th time, what is the margin of error? Or is it completely unknown? 19/20 is 95% so why not just build that other 5% of uncertainty into the +/- 3. It all seems a little hodge-podge. It helps to cover their asses when they get it wrong. That's what I was going to say, it's sort of just like 60% of the time it works every time. Just a way to say usually it's within the 3 points but that one time you might get something totally screwy.

but it took him a couple years to find a LB or DL who can play, he still hasn't found any receivers.... it's not like he's had only one offseason to dig up anyone. The last regime could dig up lots of guys who could play, they just lacked veterans mostly.... when do we stop making excuses for Walters? he needs to get his **** together and find players are more positions than just DB.

I watched it way back in the summer when it was first out, my thoughts were that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting (I expected the worst) but I felt that it was too needlessly bloody and violent for no reason. The rest of them weren't as gratuitous in the deaths.

Honestly, I think trying to portray Mulcair as warm and fuzzy was a mistake by the NDP strategists. I much prefer the straight-shooter that we saw in QP these past few years. He's at his best when he's talking down to Harper and he only exposed that side briefly during the second debate. Nothing against him personally but when Mulcair smiles it kind of gives me the creeps. That's the problem though, it's easy to look good when you're just attacking Harper, if you want to be PM though you can't just attack Harper. The man is an easy target. Mulcair is just a straight up opportunist and people see that. Rick Mercer always said Canadian voters aren't as dumb as politicians think and when you treat them like they are they don't like it. I think the NDP are learning that with their sunshine and rainbows campaign and it appears that the Conservatives are going to learn it too with their war on terror campaign.

The only position they consistently find talent is at defensive back. That's a concern because there's a bunch of other positions on the team that need people too.

I would say yes but there are still problems with execution which falls on the players.

They only came together because they could win, if they can't win why stick together? You ask why be a far right loser than a moderate winner, well that's the problem with the people who believe in the hard core social conservatism, they believe what they believe with 100% conviction and to them there is no compromising. Harper ran that party top down with an iron fist to keep everyone in line in order to win, once he's gone I'm not sure anyone else can keep the thing from flying apart at the seems because it's clear that the Canadian public is getting fed up with the Conservatives act.

The NDP never really stood a chance federally once the momentum left them. Ontario is just not an NDP place. Bob Rae sank their hopes in that province and let's be honest, if you don't do well in Ontario you won't have much of a chance. I'd also say that Quebec bought the crap Jack Layton was selling last time and Mulcair is just so unappealing as a potential prime minister that they were bound to fail. Trudeau may just be a hair piece, but he's a face and that's all the Liberal party is using him as. The machine behind him has run a good campaign while the NDP tried to walk both sides of the line and never convince either side and the Conservatives spent the whole time saying "vote for us or the terrorists will get you!" It's quite frankly insulting and they deserve to lose for that alone.
