someone beaked him for not getting a first down or something?
-
I don't care if they choose to not bring back Bellefeuille, but he doesn't exactly have a lot to work with out there.
Boltus is here pretty much entirely because of Bellefool.... we want to keep a guy with evaluation skills like that around?
-
Our starting 7 Canadians as a group suck. This is Mack's team. Our Canadian talent is brutal.
Our Canadian talent was brutal before Mack got here and he didn't inherit a lot of draft picks. When you look at what he's done Macks drafting was fine, he did more to rebuild the NI talent on this team than had been done in years. Don't try your typical blowing things out of proportion to take another whack at Mack.
Oh yeah, forgot. Not Mack's fault. All Burke's.
actually no, Mike Kellys fault. you know it takes time for NIs to develop right? Can't judge drafts until like 3 years after the fact right?
-
And in all seriousness...not playing a guy like Zack Anderson every down? To allow 3 American OL to start?
Pencer couldn't have been worse than what we saw from the right side today.
It just goes to show what a moron Tim Burke is as a head coach.

in the flag football league I play in they implement a mercy rule when one team goes up by 4 touchdowns to prevent scores from getting out of hand, I suggest the CFL implement a similar rule.

If they'd wanted Donny O as a starter they would have paid him, that's why he left, they didn't view him as a starter and he wanted starters money so they got Jake Thomas as a backup/rotational NI d-lineman. Just because fans liked him doesn't mean Donny O was a starter level guy. If he wasn't local no one would be talking about him.

You are in error when you claim Donny O was as important to retain.
-
I do that too thinking that they just dropped the guy for nothing
-
Hell there's plenty of stuff to suggest they've offered Muamba top dollar already too. This team has always been willing to pay it's top NIs top NI money.
-
Like I said, the entire thought process from the coaches with regards to the qb and offense was flawed from the get go.

So you named 3, good for you that still leaves us well short of paying 7 starters top dollar.
do we have more than 3 guys worth paying top dollar to?
-
Nonsense. Have you listened to what Doug Brown has said about the Muamba situation? He said he never made it to free agency because the Bombers always gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. All the talk surrounding Labatte was that the Bombers were offering him enough to make him one of the highest paid guards in the league. Cory Watson was always extended well before his deal was up and I doubt that he was re-upping early for peanuts. People like to say Mack was cheap, but he was really only cheap with import player, he paid his non-imports and he paid them well because he knew they were valuable.
-
All the more reason he shoulda stayed there going into this season.
-
People forget that last year was still the Lapo offence and not the new and improved Crowton offence of this year.
No entirely true, Crowton put more and more of his stuff in as the year went on last year. All those improvements were credited to him putting his stuff in. The new and improved stuff for this year was done for one reason, to try and prevent Pierce from getting crippled, but PIerce can't play that way so they scrambled to try and change it... and PIerce got hurt. The real ironic part is that a quick release offence is actually something that would benefit Elliott more than Pierce. Just a giant **** up in thought process from the get go.
-
you guys are funny. we have loser qbs so you pine away for an equally loser qb.
This. ^^^
if he was an equally loser qb no one would be pining for him. He showed better than these guys with the same coaches and same players, why can people not understand this? No one is claiming he's the greatest qb in the game, just that he was better than what we had here
-
IF we ever get good again I just hope Swaggerville never comes back. Why are we suffering as a fanbase? Karma.
Swaggerville was the best thing that ever happened to this team, it was the over reaction by certain people that was the bigger problem. I want a team that KNOWS it's better than everyone else, not the sad sack bunch of losers we're trotting out there now who only know that they're going to lose and the only question is whether they keep it close or whether they are getting spanked.
-
Going after scoring in free agency generally doesn't work out, it just leads to over priced contracts. Gotta develop from within these days. Need Schieffele to turn into a real player, need Ladd and Wheeler and those guys to maintain the offense they're bringing now and need Kane to stay on track. They got some interesting looking options on defense now and in the future, as long as the development pipeline works eventually it'll work out.
-
no.. Elliot would have suffered behind our horrible O-line and shitty "expanded for cfl" nfl/ncaa playbook equally..
Or thrown as many picks trying to do too much like the rest of these QBs.
Elliott played behind that exact same offensive line and with that exact same offensive coordinator last season and showed better than any of the guys we used this year, that is the entire point here. He proved he could make it work at least some of the time as opposed to the complete and utter failures we've seen this season.
-
and I absolutely hated the timing of when Lapo got fired and said as much at the time. It of course all leads back to the GM but everyone is focussed on the players when in reality it should be the failure at the coaching level that people are most vocal about cause that's where the failure was the biggest and most notable.
Exactly.. And MACK was responsible for selecting them all on his own.
Yeah and when have I ever said otherwise? If you'll recall I said last season after they canned Lapo that the next guy Mack hired for head coach would ultimately decide his fate as a GM right?
-
It all comes down to taking guys who can play regardless of what position they play. You identify your 7 best NIs each week and they start, if someone is hurt then your next best NI goes in for him and you balance the ratio however it needs to be done.

Too much Tinfoil for my taste. The much simpler answer is that Burke at this point has no clue what he's doing.
