i just miss winning..

Figures.. Bastards

I give up someone make a list of what is allowed to be joked upon and what is not.
Are we still allowed to call Friesen a troll or does that offend all lark and DND fans?
Can we crack fat jokes or make fun of rider fans even? Because its not there fault that there uncle dads hooked up there mom cousins?

What debate?
 
Everyone has equal rights.  Anyone can believe what they believe, but they can't use their beliefs to exclude or intimidate people from situations that have nothing to do with those beliefs, like playing professional football.
 
That's pretty fundamental human rights, nothing overly PC about that.

I don't want to talk about my feelings

Now, that is an insult. Read the whole thread instead of cherry picking. Just where am I being so negative? I blame both the media for being douchey & Walters for being unprepared. 

O'Shea says smiling: "I'm so excited about Drew Willy being our qb".
                                    "He's our starting quarterback".
 
Walters with a dour look on his face when asked about the quarterback situation going forward & if Willy is the last piece of the puzzle:
 
(Long pause).... (Pained expression)... (Said something like) "Well.... always trying to upgrade every position including qb & will continue to do so"....  Not a ringing endorsement by  the GM. Either O'Shea should never have said what he did or Walters should have just reiterated O'Shea by saying how excited he also felt having Willy as their qb & left it at that. At least for a press conference the HC & GM should look like they are on the same page. Growing pains by young inexperienced football executive & head coach. Not the end of the world by any imagination but this should be a lesson for them to discuss things before they go out to meet the media hordes who are just looking for a misstep to pounce. 

I would like the season to start earlier

so not best man out of TC gets the Starting job:) 
 
Hope this isn't lefors 2.0

Time for a reality check. Willy is a promising newbie, but his portfolio is still pretty thin, so lets not anoint Walters as the next Wally Buono just yet. I am of the opinion that We should pursue Nichols if the price is not too high. Hall has improved but not enough to believe that he is good enough to ensure a competent backup. So, if Nichols is not an option, then Florida Dan needs to beat the bushes for a a hot QB prospect- something that hasn't been seen in these parts for a very long time.

Keeping it simple... We dumped Boltus and replaced him with Willy.... This is a massive upgrade.
We lose Etienne... It's not impossible to think we can replace his whopping 19 receptions with someone else?

Meh... bring him in.. If he sucks or get Injured then cut/ ir him.. 
 
If we don't have glenn or another proven starter, bring in the best backups and let them fight it out for "starting" qb on our team.. maybe we get lucky.. maybe all our QB are  put in the IR.
 
BUT... we know that the QBs we currently have on the roster would not be starting on any other team.
 
Give up a conditional draft pick? Sure..   but don't go crazy..

pure speculation 

at this point I'm willing to accept that we're running the Wildcat 100% of the time. They'll never see it coming!

No.. I think the fans will be willing to go through the growing pains with Qbs that are showing glimpses of being something great while being inconsistent. 
 
The fans are not going to sit through another season, with the same performance from the same QBs we had last year.

Maybe because you hedge your bets and take the best QB you can guarantee  you can get through the draft without having to to worry about the outcome of a bidding war..  You know.. like we could have traded for Glenn last year. (speculative) 
 
If anything it shows they aren't complancent in what they have and are trying to field the strongest team possible.. Wish i could feel the same way about us.  They are sitting pretty.. They have TWO STARTING QBS that HAVE BEEN TO THE GREY CUP In the past two seasons... Meanwhile, we sit here trying to figure out what we can possibly do to find someone better then Hall and Goltz..

I lived in Australia for a year and you are right, it's not a holiday greeting down there, more one reserved for your grandparents and mother in law.

WTF did we leave Kohlert unprotected?   He appeared to me to be the best Reciever we had on the field for the majority of the year.  He easily outplayed Ettiene and even poblah.. I guess both of them were injured for a part of the season.. But I can't believe we let him be taken.
 
Hopefully it was our Horrible Offensive scheeming that made the rest of our Cdn recievers looks horrible, or unable to catch a football... But ATM i think Kohlert is a big loss.

Neither did Tim Burke....

Previous regimes? How long you gonna keep humming that tune??? Mack was in charge for part of 3 seasons & took part in 3 CFL drafts. He''s the reason we suck at the Canadian positions. On top of our lack of Canadian talent, he hired LaPo, fired laPo & hired Tim Burke to replace  him which was an unmitigated disaster right from the start. Really not all that pathetic??? That's unbelievable. The Mack nightmare is finally over.

Pretty sure there was the same reaction when Mack was hired by some. Not worried. Imwt and all that.
Walters seems like a good football man to have in the organization, but i fail to see how he is any bit qualified to handle such an enormous task as transforming a horrible team that has been mostly crap since 2008 into a highly competitive team that push for division champions each year.
Cis coach to shitty st coach to assistant GM to intermin GM, Not seeing the cfl experience in building a great team from the dog pile we currently are. Sure he has CIs experience but how does that translate into the cfl?
I rather someone like Higgins or someone with similar amounts of experience helping manage teams that have turned from crap into top 4 teams in the league.
Settling with Walters May turn out to be great, but i don't understand our perpetual gravitation to rookie management hires..
