yeah that's right, my timeline is way off lol. I swear 2024 was both 3 years ago and yesterday.... Either way, it's pointless for me to argue on it, so people can think what they want. The point WBB was making stands. Drafting guys that really want to play will be very important as the NIL deals continue.

You don't need to make big money to be making more than your rookie contract. He was down there for 3 years? I think...if that's correct, he's made over 1/2 a mill. Maybe closer to 3/4.

Vaccaro has made significantly more in college than he will likely on his first and second cfl contract.

with a non-football injury designation. I feel like they may bring him back once he's healthy...?

Im not sure why people think Wallace wont be on the OL. Am I mistaken that he played every game he could have last year?

He's made a pretty good situation here from what I understand. He does a lot of work with coaching football too. I would be surprised if he leaves anytime soon.

An all time great!! Looking forward to what he does for amateur football in MB.

Kind of a side bar....but Brady O's new TV show is up and running on CBC Gem. I plan on checking it out at some point this week.

Just to keep beating a dead horse. Birmingham traded their star QB. Elgersma may have had a chance to start had he been able to get a visa.

Anyone ever heard of this Elgersma kid?

Considering his playing career & his time as president...is Wade Miller the greatest Blue Bomber of all time? I think there's a legit argument. His impact on the field is....something that leaves you wanting more, sure...but has anyone had a bigger impact to this club off the field?

TSN is likely the answer

So I just saw an add for the Mexican (I think) football league. They are going to be streaming on ESPN2 and Disney+...apparently the game is tonight. So I guess we will see.

So they just swapped MLBs. I think BC probably got the better end of the deal.

I think it makes sense for both parties to wait on an extension. Next season the Bombers a losing some salary along that line, its very likely Neuf and Stanley are done for 2027, Eli is a guess imo, especially if they were able to draft a couple strong rookies. If Wallace continues to improve, you have the $$ to lock him up. If he doesnt improve, you can set his $$ at a better number. Its a risk either way, but I dont see the harm in waiting.

I think it was someone we drafted. Not sure though. Wonder what the thoughts of others are on him. Anyone?

"This is kind of my first time really doing it, being able to work this closely with a coordinator,” said Collaros in a media Zoom call from Hamilton where the Canadian Football League is holding a content capture event. “So being able to watch Tommy’s process has been really cool for me." This was from Ed taits story. About Collaros/condell working together again. Found this comment Interesting.

That's not a horrible idea. Kind of like what New york does with the Giants/Jets.

I'm not so sure about this. Maybe if he got here the year he was drafted. But the waiting game he's played, imo...has kind of forced the Bombers to look else where for the future QB. If they find someone or a couple guys who they think are legitimate future starters I don't see why they would wait for Elgersma to develop.

weird thing to get your panties in a bunch over...a guy who did nothing in any league. But it's somehow the coaches fault he isn't a bomber? ok....

I believe it's been mentioned before. But one of the biggest hurdles Elgersma is facing, is that he doesn't have experience in 4 down ball. Rourke did, having gone to College there. Elgersma coming to the CFL before he gets any experience likely ruins any (small as it may be) chance of getting another NFL look.

Not necessarily. They have 3 QBs on the depth chart. They could be looking at replacing #3. I agree with the rest of your take though.

Maybe...he's only played 3 down ball. Not beating out Americans who have more experience than him at the game they are playing won't change how I think of him as a potential CFLer.

Have the financials been released from last season? Wonder how much they made

It was a bunch of issues last year. Collaros' play, which has been slipping for a couple years. Lack of WR/OL talent and play calling/design.
