  4. 2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    I was going to post about how on Riderfans they were saying how Winnipeg is no longer a place where players want to stay or take a hair cut to remain on the club. 

    They also said Hardrick is amazing and how we are doomed and that the Riders o line is now repaired. 

    They still have many crazies on that site.

     

    If they sign Oulette then good for them, RB was one of the few positions that they had talent. Wake me up when they replace their o line and secondary and upgrade the depth at nearly every position.

    I’m genuinely baffled at some of the reactions in here lol have we just turned into a ridiculously spoiled and entitled Rideresque fanbase who thinks everyone should take less money for the honour of playing here?

    The Bombers just signed the MOP finalist, MOC winner to a two year contract in the prime of his career. Take the hometown element out of it.

    MBB members, with no information on other offers, negotiations, the Bombers’ internal cap, how much other players get paid, how much the Bombers were anticipating paying, how much Brady asked for, where we’ve spent or plan to spend other dollars, where we’ve saved or plan to save other dollars or really genuinely any information about anything at all other than just a bunch of retweets from guys they only trust if the information suits their narrative: “tOo MuCh”

     

    what?

    Some people on here are crazy. I think some just want to complain for the sake of complaining.

    Walters literally can't win no matter what he would do.

    We need every penny to sign some key free agents. So, what do we do? We spend it on Jake Thomas?  An old, expensive & OTH DT who should have walked away from the game years ago. A signing like this is such a waste of precious $$$. 

    Jake Thomas had as many sacks last season as Lorenzo Mauldin.    He isn't exactly the worst player in the league and he has the correct passport.     

    Do we know what price that Jake signed for?

    Very true. Harris was dog poop in edm, even worse than ssk imo. But a bit better in mtl. 

    Look at the 180 from Zach going to Sask to Winnipeg.  Same with Faj going to Montreal from Saskabush.   

    Harris has played behind some terrible olines and has had a lot of success.  He's far from being an awful CFL qb.

    Maybe if the league wanted another Canadian team Quebec would be a no brainer if they could find someone to post a 1B Canadian expansion fee, they got the building, fans to draw from and a ready made rivalry with the Habs.

    If the league wanted another Canadian team they could have another club in Ontario.

    Those are some really slim pickings for Disney in 2024.     I'm not sure if Mufasa will bring in the big money,  I think the live action remakes of classic cartoons are not hitting like when they first did.  

    At least in 2025 they should have Tron and Frozen 3.

    So I'm not a fan of people crapping on Brady O for wanting to get the most money that he can.   When I was job hunting I didn't stay at my old job out of loyalty when I had much higher offers at other places.   Just because the guy wants to cash in while he still can I won't fault him.   

    I'm not scared to lose Brady O because as I pointed out many times before,  other guys behind this line have been able to run effectively.   Augustine has a 6 yard average,   McCrae has a 7 yard average,  Grant had a 9 yard average when he had some carries two years ago.   

    I trust our system and that other guys can come in and perform at a high level.  

    I see it exactly like how it was when Lawler left us.   Schoen arrived and filled that gap.  I can see us recruiting or signing a known entity "IF" Brady goes elsewhere and I don't imagine a huge drop off in our ability to move the ball.  I also trust Walters wouldn't over pay at a position like RB where it is a dime a dozen and one of the easiest positions to recruit and fill.   

    I don't think the idea of losing a hometown boy has any impact on the clubs perception or attendance or anything.

    But Streveler will live in our hearts for generations! 

     

    But, Grandpa, did you see him play? 

    I sure did. The man picked up the frozen ball and carried it fifty yards to the endzone. Carried eight tacklers with him. Carried the hopes and dreams of all of Bomber Nation with him too. He ran all the way to Portage & Main.  :57_cry:

    I'm not against the fur coat cigar Strev statue for the Princess Auto Stadium!

    I see we’ve proceeded to the part of the off-season where we forget that replacements for old players don’t cost $0

    SPECULATIONSZN

    The cap is $5.585 million this year, that’s roughly 125k per spot on the active roster.

    people would be horrified if they saw how much Jake Thomas, Jesse Briggs, Shayne Gauthier, etc were making. Hell, did anyone discuss how we’re also paying Cam Lawson about 140k this year? 

    Every offseason season... some people on here think that only the Bombers have zero money to spend and that every other team has an endless amount.    

    You would think after this many seasons in a row where Walters has done a great job of keeping guys and bringing in guys that they would trust him and the system and would assume that he knows what he is doing.
