CodyT reacted to SPuDS in Bombers "close to" deal with Dressler
Wild and to a lesser extent newman as well could be added to the list as prized or at least sought after players that were held at gun point... Er i mean willingly decided to come play for the bombers..
Wonder if it sucks when reality clashes with a point you're attempting to make..

CodyT reacted to Atomic in Bombers "close to" deal with Dressler
Everyone knew Rogers was going to the NFL already, signing somewhere was just a matter of time.
And when is the last time the Stamps have signed a big free agent?
Dressler to Winnipeg isn't a given but I'd be shocked if he landed in Calgary.

CodyT reacted to Brandon in Bombers "close to" deal with Dressler
Lol at the Nicholls comment... I'm pretty sure if he backed up any other team he would be one injury away from starting.
Hurl - Toronto
Bryant - Multiple teams made offers to him.
Moore - I'm pretty sure he had a tonne of offers since he was coming off a great season and was not injury prone at the time. Even if he did choose us because we made the highest offer... isn't that usually how free agency works?

CodyT reacted to Mr Dee in Bombers "close to" deal with Dressler
But you said players want to go to a winner...not to Winnipeg. I guess Westerman was just a fluke too. And now you're changing the parameters. Naughty, naughty.
Sounds like you're rationalizing, oops, I meant irrationalizing.
You're gonna give Transcona a bad name.

CodyT reacted to Mike in Bombers "close to" deal with Dressler
Not sure what he's going to make but I don't know how anyone could say they would balk at him as "x" price that isn't well outside the normal salary landscape. You're going to pass on him over 10-15k without knowing any of our other financial details?

we would all be much less sour on the Taman regime if 2007 had finished the way it should have...

Receivers that can get open will help keep him healthy.

He seriously hash tagged FUPayME ? Did Jesus tell him to do that?

Well I think some risks are worth taking when its for the betterment of humanity. Choosing risk over racism would be one of those things.

Hire Cortez as receivers coach and then replace Lapo mid season ?

CodyT reacted to Noeller in Fun Thread: Rank the QBs
Man, it sure seems like a lot of people over-rating Harris. That second half of the season would terrify me if I'm his agent......

CodyT reacted to The Unknown Poster in Who is this guy from Pinnacle?
He put up some counters along the stand up areas on the main concourse when my friend asked him to.

CodyT reacted to Fatty Liver in Chris Jones to Saskatchewan Roughriders confirmed
Favourite quote from the Rider Forum thread so far.
"Hire Jones now!!! It's a know brainer!!!"

CodyT reacted to 17to85 in Grey Cup prop bet - Winnipeg style
Winnipeg wins another one before hosting again. Take it to the bank.

CodyT reacted to Goalie in Bombers Pending Free-Agents List?
Doesn't hurt that Harris is also a Winnipeger. Not saying that's the reason you go after him, but it doesn't hurt at all. There's some strong marketing opportunities there with Harris for sure. He's also not that bad of a back, had over 1000 yards this year, is a good receiving running back too, helps the ratio, lots of pluses to going out and signing Harris... I've always heard rumors that he's wanted to play for the Bombers, that his heart is here in Winnipeg. Perhaps it's true.
Say what you will but signing Harris definitely improves our Canadian content significantly.. He helps the ratio.. maybe no need for Bucknor or Hurl? Maybe you can go Wild at MLB,Bass at the other spot.... Frees up a Canadian spot elsewhere. I guess, perhaps the only downside is if he gets hurt, it messed up the ratio a bit but... I'd be ok with a Harris,Marshall type of combo.
Too bad Coombs isn't a free agent too, Not saying i feel this way but a small part of me does, it would be nice to have some local talent on the team.

Sounds like you describe Burris as a poster on this site.

CodyT reacted to Noeller in Chris Matthews waived
Moore is absolutely our best receiver and there's no reason we couldn't have both. You push Darvin Adams back to depth player, which is where he should be.

CodyT reacted to 17to85 in Bellefeuille OUT.....
Jesus Christ, Lapo? Really? Do you people forget how terrible the O was when he was head coach here before? And when he was here in 2002 I am pretty sure that I coulda called a good offence with Stegall, Roberts, Sellers, Bruce and Khari at my disposal. Just say no to Lapolice. So over rated.

CodyT reacted to Booch in Bellefeuille OUT.....
Truthfully I hope that's the only one to go.
Others aren't an area of concern..we just need some roster tweeks now.

CodyT reacted to Ripper in Around the CFL Regular Season Discussion
The bandwagon fans come and go with every team ( hey I noticed you guys haven't sold the grey cup out yet??). But the diehards are there through thick and thin. That's what I referring to. Lots of great cfl fans in Winnipeg who have stood by the Bombers through some tough years lately.

CodyT reacted to Taynted_Fayth in Is Coaching Everything?
I couldnt really answer those based on the options.
1. needs several of those factors working together and being competent in building a dynasty. good scouting to bring the import talent. a good gm with good trade and drafting abilities, as well as knowing when to sign, extend and cut players. and good coaching to make the pieces work.
2. biggest thing we need is better scouting, our imports just dont measure up for the most part.
3. change of the bombers magnitude isnt like ripping off a band aid or turning on and off a light, but I think it needs to be done piece by piece. get rid of MB, get new scouts. bring in some better players and game plan better, that would be a start.

CodyT reacted to Goalie in what would our record be if Willy hadn't been injured?
The moore hate is mind boggling to me. The guy has almost 1000 yards receiving and had brohm and Marve throwing him the ball for quite a bit of time. I guess missing 2 or 3 maybe 4 games means he sucks?
