Why wouldn't Dru count? He may be with Ottawa but Winnipeg absolutely groomed him - they just chose to stick with ZC. It's no different than how Arbuckle was touted as the next big Calgary QB for a couple seasons but he was behind a prime BLM so he was shipped off to (coincidentally) Ottawa. Calgary had Maier after that and they eventually felt confident enough to move on from BLM. Neither guy panned out as an elite starter but Calgary still spend a few seasons developing each of them. -

Alexander has 4 seasons under his belt now - he was definitely groomed to take over. -

Yep, Wilson, going into GC threw a grand total of 1 pass in his 18 games in the 2024 regular season. He had next to zero experience doing anything but handing the ball off or running a QB sneak. That's the MOS way though, with rookies. -

His exact words from his Nov 3rd media availability: Around the 2:45 mark of the video, he's asked about the fans wanting major changes. -

So not extortion or drug addict from the looks of things... Man charged with arson in multiple fires at Winnipeg restaurants, constituency offices | CBC News 22 counts of arson and other things: Arson with Disregard for Human Life Arson Causing Damage to Property x 13 Mischief Under $5,000/Obstruct in Enjoyment x 4 Break Enter and Commit Arson – Place x 2 Break and Enter with Intent – Place x 2 Not sure if it the same guy or not but age & location fit - on Facebook, there's a guy with the same name who is a bit of a Point Douglas white knight. He was pretty vocal about not having the safe injection site in that neighborhood so I wonder if the arson locations weren't targeted. He's charged with the fires at the constituency offices of Nahanni Fontaine and Bernadette Smith (who is the addictions minister), as well as fires at a provincial treatment center. Maybe the businesses had shown their support for the idea (or for something else) and got on his s**t list.

1 or 2 year deals are the norm I believe. -

We have seen that scenario way too many times, especially in the last few years, 2022 - MBT is struggling and the Argos turn to Chad Kelly. 2024 - Chad Kelly get hurt in the Eastern Final and Argos turn to Nick Arbuckle. -

Walters is scheduled for his presser today - will be interesting to hear his thoughts & see if we learn anything about how they plan to right the ship. -

I assume academic reasons based on his history but I haven't seen anything to confirm that. -

Also a QB that can't grip a ball & throw properly is much different than a QB who can't run well. -

Mekhi Tyrell. Was supposed to play for the Bisons this year but ended up with the Edmonton Wildcats. Was it performance or did we let him go to the NFL? The Chargers signed him a week after we released him so the timing is odd. -

We signed him once, why not a second time? -

A couple Winnipeggers made the Fall top prospects list so I'm trying to keep an eye on them so we'll see where the rank with the winter & spring lists come out. Giordano Vaccaro (OL for Purdue, after playing for the Bisons the last few years) was listed at #11 while Trae Tomlinson (DB for Louisiana) cracked the list at #20. Mesidor takes hold of top spot in fall edition of CFL Scouting Bureau - CFL.ca Patrice Rene is one I would have liked them to have held on to. Yeah he was hurt while he was here (and that was the knock on him in college) but we cut bait with him after seeing him in one game. He's since played 51 games over the last 3 years for BC. -

The record book says that's not entirely true, at least as far as drafted players go. 6 guys have played out their rookie deals and left as a FA in the last 10 years: Ford, Dobson, BOLO, Desjarlais, Kongbo & Loeffler. 9 guys have stayed past their rookie deal: Kramdi, Cadwallader, Brady, Eli, Nick Hallett, Gray, Couture, Gauthier, Chung. There have been guys who may have been around longer but were forced to retire due to injuries (ex: Noah Hallett, Trent Corney). More concerning was the amount of busts we've had over that time - i get the CFL draft is a crap shoot but man is it ugly.
