worth pointing out ... he's never done it when we're losing I don't think it matters. The Riders were jumping around like ******* after every play, the game was close and I like to see the fire from the team when they score. Let em do their little celebrations. Rather have guys who are pumped up to score than emotionless robots. There's too little passion on this team to start with, we shouldn't be killing the bit that does exist.

He's still shown more than any qb we have on the roster currently.

Sounds like a typical NDP policy. Forget the most qualified, get someone local to do it.

Sign him quick! cut any qb on the roster to make it happen. Of course Burke doesn't like Elliott so it's not going to happen, sigh.

I could not believe when all of a sudden out of nowhere Goltz little TD thing became a huge controversy... He's been doing that since the get go and it never mattered one bit before, have we really run out of things to ***** about that we gotta go for what the young qb does when he scores? Cause I'm telling you right now there are a LOT of better things to ***** about with this team.

That is incorrect. Mack made moves, he just preferred to bring in rookies than cast offs. The number of moves isn't going to be any different, just the source of players that's changing. You have a great career as a spin doctor... Obama could use your help right now. I really did miss my calling.

That picture creeps me the **** out

we sign a guy who lost his 3rd string job? Yeah those coaches in Sask really musta loved the guy, cut him and everything.

yeah I sat there watching Montreal and Toronto bumble through that game and was just pounding the table at how frustrating it is that the Bombers had to pick this year to suck so hard. The road to the Grey Cup is open in the East, and we're so weak we can't even board the bus or start the car. You know what's just as bad? watching all these other poor teams fall ass backwards into wins while the Bombers can't even get that far! Man this is the worst season I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

I think this team is in such a huge mess that they need to spend money whether they have it or not in order to get this franchise back on track. Unless, for whatever reason, they want to role the dice again on another season in order to save money. But will they save money if people don't buy tickets? I'm not saying Walters is not going to be the next big GM, but is the organization willing to chance this? People are already screaming for blood if you listen to the post game shows and read the forums. People are tired of seeing this team lose. Do we really want to chance another new GM? Are we really willing to go through another season just to "try him out"? His tryout is now, and if he fails, put him back to his old position and get someone who can turn this team around. Unfortunatley I don't like viewing the remainder of this season as a tryout for Walters because there's really not a hell of a lot he can prove in that limited time. Most of a GMs work is done in the offseasons so if we're giving Walters a tryout you basically need to use next year as well. I would be completely fine keeping him around as AGM and letting him get some more experience before giving him the role but I have no tolerance for another cheap cost saving experiment from the Bombers. Identify who the absolute best candidate out there is and do what it takes to hire them.

Also could be called polishing a turd.

Toronto without Ray is not nearly as dangerous a team.

that and the argos without Ricky Ray aren't all that terrifying of a team.

why don't we tell our current dbs that this is the goal? That way when they fail they will actually be in tight coverage.

Rottier was with Hamilton originally right? It would all make sense..... just saying.

would be something I'd look into anyway. If our RT is going to suck let's get an american inside and see if he can't be a bit of spark.

It's the Calgary sports media in a nut shell. Everything Calgary is great everything else is laughable. It spills over to the fans and as a result Southern Alberta fans are insufferable.

Hey now, Creehan was a real good linebacker coach, there's no issues with him getting the DC job in Hamilton because as a positional coach he was successful so he took the next step. He failed at that next step but that doesn't mean hiring him for it was completely ridiculous.

Contrary to popular belief Mack isn't the ***** who struggles to tie his shoes that everyone seems to be painting him as since he's been fired. Makes a hell of a scapegoat though.

and he's gone in there against 3 of the toughest teams in the league as well. No cream puffs for him to play against. Just blows the mind that he's had the most productive performances of the qbs against the toughest test yet Burke still won't let him ride it out for a few games.

You make it sound like he was always away scouting which isn't true. He was at every practice according to Penton. And most teams have others who look after those things as well so I don't know what your point is. you haven't noticed what the point is with every post? Everything he posts is trolltastic.

which is what leads believability to the fact that he was looking to go home all along and was simply using the Bombers to get as much money from the Riders as possible.

Penton made a good point, you can control offering more $ and not saying we're going to switch your position. However if position was such a big deal Labatte should have brought that up in negotiations as well, he never did that. we can't know that. Yeah we can, it was directly from him in an article on it shortly after it happened.
