I’m cheering for Elgersma to succeed but man, 3DN sure loves to glaze him and pump his tires.
Bragging about the touchdown he threw in … the Packers Family Night Scrimmage? Come on. What’s next, are they going to start applauding the ball he tossed into the crowd that a fan didn’t have to fully extend their arms to reach out and catch?
I heard he crushed the football tire toss game at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Which CFL team has an heir apparent in place for their starting QB right now?
Arguably Hamilton (at least for the time being) with Taylor Powell. Similar to our situation with Zach and Dru, Powell may need to leave to get a shot at starting because BLM keeps extending his career.

Also writes for 3dn. Says he's originally from Regina but I guess he moved away very young because literacy is not their strong suit.

Looks like the Bombers are bringing this guy back. One of the final cuts last year and spent a month on the PR before "retiring".

Muamba got better...can tolerate him a bit...Sanchez I like...not sure why many hate on him...is it the hate of Sanchez the player?
100%. Dirty Sanchez was player I absolutely detested and I don't feel like letting that go. 😂

A bar is a bar in Winnipeg and Toronto. Same **** really. You know what they also have more of? Meth heads. So I guess you’d be sitting in your hotel huh.
If you think the nightlife in Winnipeg is remotely comparable, you've clearly never been to any of those places.

Can someone break down free agents and re-signing of vets for each team and how Winnipeg on average has spend more then others.
Because EVERY year on free agency on these boards people go bananas when they see Edmonton spending $50 k more for a guy like Ford, how Hamilton over paid for Lawler, how every other team blowed a tonne of money on over the hill guys....
It's a myth that Winnipeg pays more then others, if anything we are known to be a "cheap" team who isn't dropping the coin that other teams have.
We exceeded the salary cap in 2 of the last 3 seasons so we are spending the cash.

Problem players? Why cause he aged out and he was asked to do too much at his age? I don't follow your logic here? JT executed the plan he was given to the best of his ability...how is that a problem player? As for Hogan having the best RB in the league, yes that certainly helps but he also helped develop BO into that. BO didn't enter the league as the best. You guys are literally hating on JT himself because the coach tapped him on the shoulder to go in and play and he did. I understand not liking him being on the field but you guys need to tone down the overall Jake hate. He's a 13 year retired veteran now who is taking an entry level coaching job for the only team he ever played for. Why are you inventing narrative about this?
Problem player might not have been the correct term - biggest liability is probably more suitable. My issue isn't with Jake the person, it's the player that never showed a ton of skill (even in his younger days) now being responsible for coaching up others in an area that we desperately need help.
He absolutely may turn out to be a great coach but let's not act like he was some great superstar back in the day and he's just no longer the player he once was. The drop-off from prime Jake and 2025 Jake is not that severe and he was closer to his prime 7 years ago when we first tried to move on from him. The fact that he lasted 13 years is a testament to his dedication but also a damnation of our scouting/drafting.

I agree he played badly, but that is mostly because of his own physical limitations. From all accounts through the years he was a very smart player that had physical limits. I think he might be a very good coach.
I think that BO's problem was the play calling of Hogan, not with the man himself. Pros can make the differentiation.
Could be because Hogan was a very good RB coach for us before.
Or having the best RB in the league made him look better than he actually is? He certainly didn't use BO the way you would think a great RB coach might. I'm less concerned about that move though - he's at least experienced in the role. Hiring one of our problem players to coach (imo) our biggest weakness does not inspire confidence in me.

Just now, Booch said:
sure didnt show it anytime in his career tho....what's he gonna teach any vet DL guy...or nw guy...absolutely nothing really....
just shows they still cant/wont make the real tough decisions....
No consequences for failure/mediocrity. What's Jake going to teach them - how to now get their uniform dirty?
I wonder if the Hogan move might have been because of the salary cap? If he had a 2 year deal, they'd either have to eat his salary and still pay a replacement coach or they keep him but move him to a different job.

We drafted him. We own his CFL rights in perpetuity.
Yeah but if i guess says he's not going to sign here, we have limited options. It's rare but has happened. Corey Mace did that to us back in the day and never played a snap for us.

Heard his name for a long time, disnt follow him much, whats the break down of his offenses?
His run with Ottawa was underwhelming but they are a perennial tire fire so not sure how much that falls on him
In 2025, Ottawa finished sixth in net offence, eighth in offensive points, and ninth in yards per play but was 2nd in offensive time of possession. Long way to say his offense had plenty of opportunity but produced very little.
He does have history with Zach so maybe he can bring some old ZC out.

When I saw Koala on one of the latest Handled Internally pods, I wondered if that was "telling"....
Guess they haven't had "the talk" yet.

Not necessarily - you can do community work and not live somewhere full-time. Kolankowski was nominated for the Jake Gaudaur award last year partly because of the work he does in Ontario (running football camps in Oshawa).

Have we heard what the terms are?
No - which is why nobody is complaining! 😂
He didn't have his best season last year in my opinion (still good though) & he's never been one of the highest paid DB's so I can't see him getting a ridiculous contract now.

Ok Ive got to ask the question, is any vet that we have worth what were paying him cause according to posts we'd be hard pressed to field a team of anything but entry level players
I don't see anyone complaining about Nichols.

Interesting that it's a lateral move and not a promotion.
