Atomic reacted to 17to85 in Alex Hall Traded
Mack traded players he no longer had a use for for draft picks on more than one occasion so let's no go rewriting history. It was getting established people that he didn't do.

Atomic reacted to 17to85 in Alex Hall Traded
if he has so little trade value that we have to pay the riders to take him then don't trade him! or just trade him for a late round pick! Terrible asset management and no amount of spinning from you guys will change that fact.
and you know what, it's not unheard of for 2nd round picks to step in and start right away for teams. Didn't the stamps get a starting o-lineman in the 2nd round just this past draft? I question whether Neufeld is any better than guys like Swiston or Pencer, seems that the tackles who have trouble adjusting to guard and a team that uses 2 americans at tackle maybe should prioritize their targets a little better.
Really the last trade that Walters made that everyone said was good was getting Foster and Foster hasn't done anything for this team except drop passes, at least that trade it was just player who needed to go for Foster and they didn't have to bribe the Lions with a quality draft pick.

you can't do that because he's the key piece to this trade because he is the best player in the trade. Doesn't matter if he was gone anyway, the idea behind making those trades is to give something that may be gone and get something, we gave that plus something that could have been a long term solution in the draft pick. If the 2nd round pick and Neufeld have similar value then why did we include hall in the first place? Sorry people but Walters got schooled by a veteran GM on this trade. Taman gets a key piece for a grey cup try AND a pick to mitigate the loss of NI depth (someone that maybe he loses in the expansion draft anyway) Walters gets a player who may or may not be better than some of the guys on his team anyway.... trade for the sake of making a trade and he displayed poor asset management.

Atomic reacted to Blueandgold in Chris Williams situation solved
I'm surprised the fact that Kent Austin is a notorious flake himself, yet refusing to let a player go to the NFL which is in essence a gigantic promotion isn't more of a topic. These guys have short careers that can end in instant, I definitely don't agree with the way Williams went about his business but who can blame him? He could've played out his 50K contract, blew out his ACL and his career could be over. Would the Ticats support him? Not a chance in hell. I didn't particularly like when Taman held Kyries Hebert here instead of going to the Bengals, and I don't particularly like this.
I'm definitely not wishing failure upon the guy like everyone here seems to be, its really petty IMO.

Atomic got a reaction from Valderan_CA in Chris Williams situation solved
I envision some kind of "option-year", where the player can try out for the NFL while a CFL team maintains his CFL rights.

Atomic got a reaction from Mike in Expansion Draft Discussion
Agreed, I've never bought into that logic. Imagine being in the player's shoes. Ottawa thinks enough of you to draft you without a contract and your current team doesn't think enough of you to protect you... which team is making you feel more wanted? Never mind the fact that Ottawa will have exclusive negotiation rights for two months to hash out a contract, and we saw how much that was worth in the Mike Reilly acquisition. The only situation where it would be really risky is when there is NFL interest in the player. If the player is likely to keep playing in the CFL, and Ottawa drafts him, they are almost certainly going to be able to get him under contract.

I like Dickenson but I just don't think he's got it in him to play QB anymore

Atomic reacted to rebusrankin in Depth Chart
This lineup sucks. Terrible roster management.
Knapp got figured out half way through the game but he gets the chance to play guard where he's never played instead of using a NI? That alone is poor logic.
However through in having to start Labbe at MLB which we know doesn't work and the subsequent benching of Wild who's been a bright spot, the rotation of 3 NI receivers instead of seeing Simms Walker and it just makes me not want to go to the game.
Maybe if they promised to publicly fire Burke at half time or if I donated $25 to help pay off the stadium I could punch Burke in the face.

Atomic reacted to 17to85 in Free Agent Exodus
This is outdated thinking. There are quality NIs at all positions. You can easily replace a Canadian at OL with an american just as much as you can at LB. You identify your best NIs and build your ratio around that it doesn't really matter what position they play.

I actually like the jersey to be flowing around the midsection area. It makes for a much grander effect when I twirl upon entering a room.

Atomic reacted to Blueandgold in Blame Hall not Washington
I can't believe Washington took the blame seeing as how hes been far and away the best guy in our secondary all season.

Atomic got a reaction from Floyd in Sept 18 Transactions
I don't get why they have to start both new tackles. Why not put Pencer at RT, Kowalczuk at guard, and Paliwoda as the 6th OL? Surely it would be better to start the guys who have been here all year and put a new guy in as the 6th OL rather than a starting tackle?

Atomic reacted to Westy Sucks in Coach's Show
the whole coaching staff (except for maybe MB, but I'd prefer a clean sweep) is getting the axe. Day after season is over preferebly.

IMO starting Volny at RB would have the least negative effects

Atomic reacted to do or die in Mods: Why No Game Day Thread?
Ok, found one:
Bob: Bombers bumble their way, right out of the gate.
Mike: Horrible 1st Quarter, down 17 nothing.
Leroy: With this O, the game is already over.
Tad: Cauchy Muamba stinks.
Bubba: Jovon should hang it up.
Mike: Goltz has no pocket poise whatsoever.
Joe: My arm is stronger, than Max Hall's.
Bob: Boatman wouldn't make a good pool rack
Tad: Nice O playbook, would take 2 mins to read
Tom: That Do or Die fella, gonna have fun with this one
Leroy: Does he really drink all that gin?
Harry: Does he really have any choice?

Atomic reacted to Mike in Reilly - Old News
The one thing that stands out to me is how the article makes Reilly seem like a big *****.
