Lots of quality dlinemen still around.... I'd be interested to see where Getzlaf ends up... I wonder if the Rider fans will turn on him if he goes elsewhere...

Are we allowed to add up the half games he will play before he leaves with an injury?

Jets will sign him!!! STAMKOS TIME!!!

Stuart is under rated and criticized way to much by a few on here... the guy plays his role well and on top of that he's a good community guy. I have no problem with Stuart and it's a loss IMO.

Lol destroying his confidence... that's funny

The first time LaPo was in Winnipeg I thought he had one great season and the rest of the time the team was 2nd last in offense? I could be totally wrong but I thought someone else posted stats that showed this?

All I remember was that he was the only guy who could move the ball for the club.. those screen passes that we kept trying to do were useless and seemingly had an extremely low rate of success.

All I remember is that many times on 2nd and long he would go for a three yard play and hope that blocking would carry them to the first down. Isn't that why Joey Elliott got pissed because they never pushed the ball.

Where is the "proof" ? Also how could Desjardins criticize when he spent huge money signing a tonne of receivers last year?

So you think the Sun or Free Press would even dare to publish anything like this to the Jets? Well my "anonymous source" has confirmed that the rumours are completely true.

I disagree on both points..... This is the first year in a long time that we have a proven CFL qb as a back up. As a matter of fact it's been since Jyles days that we actually have had 2 guys who have had some success in the CFL. The last many years this and the old site would ***** and complain about how we keep recycling junk and pray and hope that random guys like Marve will magically turn out fine. Matt Nicholls has shown way more then anything that Goltz, Brohm, Hamilton guy who kept fumbling whatever his name was and Marve.... The OL talent also the fans have been leery for years... we've complained about the crappy american guys we brought in and how the depth has been super shallow and that the talent has been lacking for years. I think this year people should be optimistic because instead of bringing in garbage filler players... we've brought in 3 guys on offense who were or near all star level players... how can fans not be happy with that?

Who over spent for any players? The only questionable move was done by Ottawa by signing another QB with a big contract while losing 2 important d-linemen?

What kind of proof can a fan possibly provide without the media or police or the team not already having or containing. You think the club would freely leak all this stuff out to the public to show?? You do realize that if someone in law enforcement leaked evidence to the media that he wouldn't get fired on the spot? Sometimes rumours can be far fetched and ridiculous.... but when an over whelming amount of people from around the city have experiences or connections say something that lines up perfectly with them being absent and then traded and then "mysteriously injured" you can't really think that it's absolutely not true at all. Evander Kane had character issues from day one, everyone said the guy was a jerk , arrogant and was not liked by his team mates and was a diva. Eventually the truth got leaked and he was traded away and low and behold all the rumours were 100% correct. For BOGO he's gone and the team is in a way better place as he was a liability. Trouba is still with the club... has regressed each season and is not looked upon as a guy with his head on straight and acting like a true professional on and off the ice. He was Bogo's roomate, he missed mysterious time last season like Bogo right around the rumours of him going to rehab... no reports of him taking the off season serious with conditioning (like Scheifele did). Tonnes of flags on Trouba...

For a third line player... Anything will be an over payment.

So every time a black person drops an "N" bomb are you going to speak up and denounce them for spreading racist words? Good luck with that.

Helle has played well above expectations and if not for him we would of lost even more games....

It's 100% not performance related on why he was sent down. Isn't Hutch on a 1 - way deal? My guess is Pavs is on the trading block and will be gone soon to free up cashola and he probably can bring back at least a prospect or two. It will be a salary dump deal. Helle is the starter for us next season no doubt about it.

Fellows.... it's all part of the tanking. We will get a top 5 pick surely which is great!

So can we finally stop with the Wally Buono is a genius and can do no wrong? He's made mediocre moves for the last handful of years.

I like when fans suggest we substract 2 players and use that salary to sign one player..... I'm hoping these fans are cross over Rider fans.....

Sign Nik Lewis as a WR coach / back up receiver / 6th OL guy?

*Some* think that CM Punk is doing this because his opponent looked legit and he is chickening out. I wouldn't doubt this since he looked perfectly healthy on tv the other week and it's very odd timing for him to pull out if this has been an ongoing issue with him for a long time.

Seems odd that they would bail on him?

Corey Watson could block and yet those screen passes still were useless.
