    yeah that was my original point too.  Why are we still talking about Elliott? 

     

    But. But. Wally grabbed him so he must be the best QB ever!!!!!!

     

    He was going nowhere here. Even if Wally can make a good QB out of him (which I doubt), the Bombers couldn't and he (and Brink) needed to go. The fact that the replacements are unproven and Buck is a china doll doesn't really change that. The problem is the Bombers "system" has too many backups in the same early stage of development so when the don't show promise, the slate is wiped clean and we start over. Hopefully one of these three stands out but I don't think this is our year at all.

    Because there wasn't a target on Buck already? Have you been watching the same games I have? Standing back in the pocket PIerce has taken a ton of shots every game. You think it's going to get worse if he's outside the pocket? Right now everyone knows where he's going to be and can just run right there to hit him. Announcing it probably gives the argos something else to worry about leading into the game but it doesn't change anything about PIerce getting hit or teams targetting him. Guy gets hurt in the pocket more than outside it anyway so what's the worry? The plan to protect him with quick passes and extra protection hasn't worked cause Pierce can't play that game so let's let him protect himself with his legs if he can. If he can't then as a qb sad to say is will be done. 

     

    I get this, but it just seems stupid to announce the plans publically. Be better to let him loose but at least have it a little bit of a surprise. Argo's expect to him be in the pocket and he actually move from it. Surprise might not last more than a couple of drives, but now it's gone.

     

    Unless Burke is being crafty and Buck is not allowed out of the pocket again.......

    I would get my hopes up that this will get Buck injured but we all know that Buck only gets hurt when it puts us at a disadvantage. Now that he's useless, he's going for the ironman streak.

     

    Well. I now have a bet he won't make it through the first half.

    One thing I think is asinine is announcing to the media this:

    Big Blue unleash Buck QB free to run, scramble at will vs. Argos

     

    Holy ****. He actually said this in the media!

     

    Fine to do it but to friggen well announce it is assinine. May as well put a target on Buck.

     

    Hope Goltz is ready to play.

  19. John Tortorella fired ...

    I would drive to New York, pick him up, and bring him straight to Winnipeg if Noel were to get sacked.

    Local media would love that (sarcasm) but Tort's media rapport would certainly make them more appreciative of Mack. ;)

    We need to figure out how to get Torts and Kelly coaching in the same city.

    Should cause a few strokes for the media.
