Captain Blue

And again, obviously both.

Yes!!!!

Are you pleading for the Bob Wylie thingy or just remembering the words at the end of your first date? Obviously both.

Feel like he took an extreme viewpoint that wasn't necessary.

Chiu would be interesting. Definitely fit as an O'Shea hire. I'd be down with it.

A "no doubt starter" for Glenn? Screw that. Man I am going to be ticked if we pay that.

See, I don't think the problem many have (at least not me) is that he has to be either positive or negative about the team. As the lead columnist for the Freep, I do however expect him to be educated. Before the Unknown Poster gets all in a knot and shouts "But it's just his opinion!" I would like to point out that opinions can be both stupid and/or wrong. That's my problem with Lawless. If you are going to praise or criticize the Bombers or Jets, do it with both logic and evidence. There are plenty of reasonable arguments to be made off that.

What an utterly useless, stupid post. This has as much insight as a Lawless article. No wonder you like him.

Meh, Lawless has a point, but as usual in the rare instances he actually knows what he's talking about, still manages to throw enough crap in it that the effect diminishes.

Guy looks solid. Found another tall, American receiver.

What's the over/under on when fans start demanding Buck to come out of retirement and become our starting QB again? Week 1. Average fan still thinks he's really good.

Can we start a pool on how long it takes for someone to call into CJOB and say that O'Shea should be fired and replaced with Pierce? "Hi Bob, long time listener, first time caller...just wondering..." I am setting the over/under at Week 9.

I hate Lawless with a burning passion. He hides behind his "I'm a columnist" line for everything. I'm not really sure how much he actually knows anything about the Bombers, or if he just purposely trolls since that seems to be the way of print journalism nowadays.

I can report that Friesen doesn't have a clue about anything. Sources say.

Good for him. Interesting to see if it leads to something bigger later.

Eh, not sure I want him. He'd be a really good backup, but I'm concerned they'll want to start him, either right away or if/when Willy struggles. And then we start the QB carousel all over again...

And yet you are basing your opinion on media interviews. We are all basing our opinions off what we see. I place more emphasis on what I saw on the field.

Just out of curiosity ... why? Doesn't strike me as cerebral enough to coach. How cerebral must one be for a QC role? How would you like me to answer that? I have seen Buck read defenses - coverages, protection schemes, blitzes. Perhaps he will make a great coach one day, since play on the field isn't the complete indicator of coaching success, but I wouldn't be the one to take that gamble.

I'm fan with him being an ambassador. Tremendous guy, who is pretty much well-liked by anyone who's met him. Coach? No thanks.

I hope the meme of getting all "name" players to coach here dies. I don't want Pierce back at all. Outstanding person, but really we need to focus on football and not employing former Bombers.

Considering the price tag of the trade and how a lot of people feel about him (including Danny Mac) I think there is a really good shot that Brohm gets groomed ASAP for the backup spot to Willy. He was a big time player in college. Like most guys coming to the CFL they will come with the "weak arm" label attached to them, but he was pretty accurate. Willy, Brohm and Hall is a decent stable of QBs. Pretty much all unproven still but at least they come with potential. We knew what we had before wasn't good enough.

I think there's a lot more to the situation than just the cash on the table. Lots of variables in play. A player's looking for money, a chance to win, maybe be close to home, perhaps a coaching staff that's familiar with him or a place where he thinks he can become a star. Teams are looking at finding players that fit their system, manage a cap, not overpay for someone but not cheap out, and certainly no team will ever put themselves in a position saying that they need to get Player A at whatever cost it takes. There is always a cut-off point. That's just good business.

Eh, I'd rather really look for a new running back.
