Do we "need" veteran depth?  I think an important different is between a need and want.
 
I would love Glenn here for veteran depth, but its not like the team can't prosper without him.  Sure it is less than ideal to not have a vet in the second spot, as we saw rotating QBs last year, but it is possible to make it work.  What the Bombers need to consider is if (Glenn - draft pick) > (Hall/Other QB acquisition + remaining draft pick).  I'm not sure the difference is so large that this is a 'need' for the Bombers.

I'd actually avoid trading for Glenn now.  We have Willy and I think we do everything we can to surround him with talent.  Free agency, the draft, we want to give Willy the best chance to succeed.  I don't want to give up an asset for Glenn then plunk Willy on the bench.  I'd consider Glenn a target for our backup spot, if Ottawa wants us to toss them a late rounder or something inconsequential.

I think they are banking on Kohlert.

I love Nichols and would be happy to have him here, just not for a high pick.

I am less concerned about losing Burris (though that really does suck - he is still a good QB) than I am about players thinking this organization is radioactive.  Changed the CEO, GM and HC and players still clearly have no interest in playing here.  That is a huge problem.

I can save the CFL a lot of trouble by telling them right now what day Feb 15 falls on next year. But it will cost them.

Rod Black will use the expression "And there's a TD at TD place!" about 1.5 million times this year.  May be an underestimation.

This shouldn't even be a close race...The wildcard that is Barron Miles is the better option in my opinion over the continually overrated Greg Marshall.

Man I LOVE Jason Vega.  I am so stoked about this signing.

If we hire Etcheverry or Marshall I think my offseason buzz might be sufficiently killed. C'mon Barron Miles.

Well you did go from the 'excitement with the O'Shea hire' to 'mediocrity continues' in the span of a few seconds once this decision came in.  Just saying...there's probably an in-between state that you could reach.  I don't think any of us are happy to lose out on Stubler.  Not sure that condemns us to the gloomy picture you apparently are envisioning.

Yeah, I agree. Everyone is right about my comments. Reacting to the news & I was just wearing my heart on my sleeve. I realize I went over the top. My apologies.

There is one more thing I've been thinking about...
 
For those that want Khari: his experience (and only years of leading an offense) were under MB.
 
So basically, if you want Khari, why would you not want MB?  You could make a fairly strong argument I think that MB taught Khari quite a bit, so much like how Stubler is viewed as the veteran teacher for the defense, MB could be the veteran teacher for the offense.  Basically we hired the teacher and not the pupil.
 
Now personally I thought Khari's resumé was pretty darn thin and was hoping for some wildcard candidate over both of them, but I'm not sure how we get Khari >> MB or even Khari > MB.

TSN's coverage is not official as they are not capitalizing REDBLACKS.

What else would have preferred him to do in this short time? We can only judge him on his actions.  Right now the sample size is small, but it is positive.
