Captain Blue

But Mack said he would fix the position, then didn't deal for a QB, and now that he's gone old #4 moves up the depth chart. It will be hard to convince me Burke doesn't love Buck. There are too many words and actions supporting otherwise.

If true, Mack was ridiculously stupid. Not sure if I completely believe this though. Burke loves him some Buck.

Anyone here watch the game again? Goltz had some really bad passes but there were also some bright spots. People are way to quick to dismiss him already. And despite his struggles he was better than Pierce.

We are hilariously stupid.

I find it odd Goltz gets hooked before what would have been likely his two easiest starts. That I can't get over.

Open question: is this Miller sending down a mandate now, both that we have to win now (no surprise I guess ) but also that he wants even more change?

I'm gonna throw a party when we can Burke, but we'll see how these changes affect his future. I wonder if he will convince Miller a change at OC is all we need.

The thinking is that Goltz is a raw, developing prospect, Hall despite his inexperience a much more refined and QB.

One more thing as I spew out a few random thoughts: this better not end up leading back to Buck. I may not be in favour of this move, but I'm sure as hell in favour of it if it keeps #4 on the bench.

I really don't like this move. Would've much rather played Goltz more to see what we really have. We did hear Hall was liked by the coaches in training camp, if I recall correctly.

My neighbour ran into Crowton at the store. He said he wanted to play Hall, but they wouldn't let him. I don't know who "they" was referring to. That is my unsubstantiated rumour and I don't expect anyone to believe it. I barely believed it myself.

Actually I think he reads defenses well. Footwork's decent, not great. We need more time to judge the accuracy.

This is one of the reasons we haven't developed a QB. We have to give them time. Maybe Goltz pans out, maybe he doesn't. But you are going to have to play him more to find out.

Ya I'm not so sure this is the last move as it relates to Bellefuille.

These past few days I cannot get the Joker "And here we go" gif out of my head. We are one hell of an entertaining gongshow.

Well at least we're bringing in someone familiar with the CFL. It is hard to keep track of all the reports and rumours, but if Crowton has had play calls taken away from him, and Bellefuille has a history as an offensive coordinator....well connect the dots. With Mack out I wonder if Burke really wanted a CFL guy at OC. Not really a fan of his though. Edit: I swear though if I have to watch Buck Pierce play more this season I am going to flip my ****.

We are going to see a lot of "reports" in the coming days from "sources." We have to give it time to separate the real reports and the "throwing crap at the wall" stuff.

Buck is awful. Can we please not put this to argument to bed already?

I'm saying a new GM shouldn't inherit Burke. He should pick his own guy.

To be completely honest, Miller scares me. I want the CEO to be hands off when it comes to the team decisions. Apart from hiring the GM that is.

At this point simply watching an exciting game is a boost to my CFL morale.

You had me all the way up to Burke staying. Can't get on board with that. He's just too awful at head coach. One of the bright spots in this gong show is that for once we have the opportunity to rebuild the right way - the CEO will pick his GM and the GM will pick his HC. Everyone on the same page with the same vision. Too often teams fire one guy and have the new hire inherit other pieces.

There are very few if any things that could make me question my fandom but Troy Westwood being relied on to provide an educated decision on the future of the Bombers would be near the top of the list.

Not really high on Tate. So many injuries and honestly he's played so sporadically that I'm not sure he'll still be a really good QB.

Holy crap. This team and organization are such an utter mess.
