It said in the paper that Miles is an FA after this season, for what its worth. Its too bad he got injured at training camp because it kinda derailed his season. I remember standing with Buchko at training camp and I asked him if he was excited about any player in particular and he mentioned Wallace Miles. Maybe he was on to something.

We barely have 3 serviceable NI starters, let alone 7. If we have a shot at Harris, we need to take it and get him here.

There's ways around it

Gold on gold looks great. Very flashy. Nobody can touch our golden boys.

Agreed but no sense having a 2nd pick if the guy picking doesn't do it right. We need a GM who will make good decisions. Maybe it's just me, but I hope the Bombers aren't taking a "We don't know what we're doing so it doesn't matter when we pick" attitude...

Don't care so much about the draft pick being 2nd or 3rd. More worried that 2 late wins will allow Burke to keep his job.

What! These two statements don't go together. The fact that Muamba isn't a lock to come back is exactly why I WOULDN'T trade Bilukidi's rights.

Etienne in for Foster this week.... "Burke said the rest of his team was present and accounted for in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. And that included receiver Jade Etienne, who wasn't expected to play this week but was spotted on the ground Wednesday and is now expected to replace non-import Akeem Foster in tonight's lineup." http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/late-arriving-watson-still-expected-to-play-tonight-229053851.html

This is unexpected, sure would be nice to get him up here

And now he's a superstar down at the cracker factory

Foster is going to be a free agent. I have no problem with giving him extended play time to see if it is worth re-signing him. Now we know it's not worth it and can avoid a big blunder.

I don't follow, on the Elliott comment. And yes obviously a new HC will want his own guy, and the wavering fan base is hungry for a new QB as well. What are you trying to say?

...and was out of shape and didn't start training in earnest until mid May. Hold on to your hats folks, very few people have seen what he's capable of when he's in shape. And when you do, you won't even remember how to spell collaros - or care. Yes the O-line needs work, but Burke, if he stays, needs to be a leader without question. He is the most, "Maybe..., if..., we might possibly..., I think..., I hope..., we really should..., it was weird stuff... milquetoast of a coach I've ever heard. There is light at the end of this tunnel and it's not an oncoming train. Sounds exciting but I just don't know if he's ever going to get a chance to show it. Time may be running out. How is time running out? There's only 2 games left and we may have a new coach and GM next year and we will almost certainly be bringing in a QB. If Max Hall wants to make an impact, he has to do it now.

Right now I would take Hall as our starter if we couldn't get Collaros or Burris. He would be my third choice out of the guys who are popularly believed to be available. I would rather stick with him than turn to DeMarco or Tate. Tate's a good QB but I just can't stomach the injury risks.

Lol I was just following up on road griller's comment. You really do have to chill out man!

To be the man, you gotta beat the man

Big John Chiles

Higgins would have been a good choice several years ago. I don't know whether he is still interested in the job or has the connections he once had. Still, he has done it before and is still involved with the league so I'm sure we could do a lot worse.

Seems some people don't understand quite how bad things are right now for the Bombers. It's not a matter of just replacing the GM and president. The whole organization is a mess. When every department is losing employees on a regular basis and you hear former members of the grounds crew, of all people, claiming they had to get out of the "toxic environment"... you know things are bad. People talk, and players talk especially. The vibe around the CFL is "Stay out of Winnipeg", and that's not speculation. It's going to take time to fix everything, and having two rookie Acting executives in charge of everything this off-season is not going to help. They need to hire a strong, experienced head man to run everything, like a Hufnagel, Buono, or Austin, or it is going to continue to be an absolute circus.

yeah well Burris coming into this mess would just pout and be a total jackwang in the dressing room, blaming everyone else for the team's failures. No thanks. Or he would come in and win some games for us, you know maybe we'd have a passer go over 3500 yards for the first time in 5 years. Bringing in Burris gives us a guy who WILL win games and also a perfect timeframe to develop a young guy because Burris will be gone in a couple years. Win-win-win. 7 habits of highly effective football teams.
