And how have the bombers thrown anyone under the bus?

And honestly that's just too long

Isn't that the biggest issue with basically everything CFL though? The best talent will go where the money is. It does. But he's heading there. Tells you about his potential.

I completely disagree. Streveler isn't a pocket passing QB. He's a football player. He can take those hits, just the same way any receiver/running back could. And he proved it when he was running over linemen and linebackers. Could he get hurt? Sure. But that's football.

As much as I don't like it. I completely agree. The NFL is seeing a new trend of athletes being used anyway they can be. Streveler fits that bill. Maybe he won't stick, but he most definitely will get a shot.

I do agree with you, but Hansen was regarded as the most pro ready player in the draft. It wasnt like he is out doing his potential.

Good point.

I'm not sure what you're arguing here? Yes the Ratio increases the wage of players who may be less talented then their counter parts. That's not a secret or what anyone was saying. And the reason Olineman are often drafted for developmental reasons is because it's easier to develop an olineman and there's a larger pool to pick from. Add on top of that more positions to fill on the team, and it's easier to hide a weak olinemen than it is a less talented QB.Maybe adding QB's to the ratio would help. BUT then you'd need to take into consideration injury and replacements. Are you suggesting that if there is a QB who could perform as well as or better then let's say, Mcguire, they wouldn't get a shot simply because they're Canadian? Or are you saying teams refuse to take the time to develop Canadian QB's and you don't understand why? - I think this is true. And I think there is good reason. 1) Most CIS qb's just don't have the physical attributes to be a PRO qb (Arm strength, overall size/strength etc) 2) There's only so much space on the team for QB's, so why spend time developing someone who is clearly not on the same level as his competition (who will still need to be developed themselves)? Especially when it won't help the ratio of the team? All things considered, like number of available positions, overall talent, ease of development Canadian QB's just don't make it. If there is a Canadian QB who can play at this level he will get an opportunity - see Brandon Bridge. He's a great example of a guy who has all the tools and guess what? He was given an opportunity. In fact, he's been given multiple opportunities.

That's most likely due to poor management. When your selling out stadiums, you should be turning a profit.

There's no advantage to having an American QB on the roster either. They are there because they are good enough to be there.

If a CND QB is good enough. He will get an opportunity. End of story.

Exactly. Trying to take anything out of what MOS says about players is 100% a waste of time.

I dont know. I think we (people who are on this board) over exaggerate things sometimes. I'd say most fans or the casual fans didnt really give a **** about waiting on the CBA. I dont think the league held it back because they just wanted too, they likely had to cross some T's and dot some I's. And then with the NFL doing what they did with CFL players under contract that may have delayed things as well if changes needed to be made. (All speculation fyi). For what it's worth. I was never upset at all about the CBA being delayed. It 100% wasnt even on my radar.

except this time, Willie Jefferson showed up and slapped the ball out of her hands, told Charlie to hit the road and let Medlock do his thing!

100% Arbuckle was gone. He wasnt going to be sitting behind Bo when there would be teams asking for him to come in and at the very least compete to start. Cgy got WAY more for Arbuckle then I thought they were going to get.

Weird. This topic title says "2019 Grey Cup Champions". I must have stumbled in to the USA politics thread.

Interesting. I thought for sure Arbuckle would be heading to TO. I really hope Walters is speaking with Collaros to try and get him signed now. He is at the very least healthy enough to start day 1. Nichols is not (as of now). And if we lose out on Collaros we could really be in a bind.

$$$$$$$

why?

Evans isn't going to be a FA until next off season. He can demand a trade all he wants it won't happen. Not unless the deal is good etc. But to say he's going to demand a raise/trade is ridiculous, He holds very little power in his current situation.

I think the decision was with Masoli. Hamilton said they wanted him back before the year was over.

FTFY

I'm really surprised by this honestly. Thought he might try FA. Solid signing for sure.

He was a corner

If he's going to be selected it would be under the SAM position. Which is technically a linebacker spot.
