OK, it IS Willy ...
A.C. is an outlier in many ways. So so rookie year in Vegas in 94, three up and down years in the Hammer (95-97), goes to Montreal as a backup. Emerges as a starter in 2000. Most QBs don't get six years to emerge and most don't follow this career path. Ray trade was criticized by many at the time (ie Eskies roasted). Allen emerged in 1987 and Edmonton made him starter in 88. He signed as an FA in Ottawa in 1989 and stayed there until he signed as an FA with Hamilton in 1992. Traded back to Edmonton in 1993. FA signing in Memphis in 1995. Dispersal draft lands him in BC. Traded in 2003 to Toronto when 39. He wasn't really let go too much really, just choose to move as an FA.

Wonder who else the Riders will try to poach?

Duron Carter. What, I have to be realistic?

JBR needs some recognition. Believe he was the first poster here to advocate for the three I OL lineup.

Milt next up for the Ring of Honour
Likely worth a poll and I know its cliche but Milt is my favourite of all time.
-
Return of Denmark?
Given our injuries, I like the signing. Anybody else not sold on Sheppard? Not seeing much. Will go back and watch again though.
-
Return of Denmark?
Doesn't signing a vet like Denmark makes sense? Richards/McDuffie/Mayo/Sheppard/Davis/JFG/Kolhert is pretty green for the most part.
-
Return of Denmark?
We need to sign somebody. Right now we have Jace Davis, Mayo, Sheppard, Kolhert and JFG.

Does a blow out against the Tiger-Cats cost MOS his job?
Could be worse, we all could have vowed to not change our undies during a winning streak.

Borrowing from Grandpa Simpson but it was a little of column A (Nichols) and little from column B (OL).

Milt next up for the Ring of Honour
Excellent choice of course. I too, thought they would wait. Who's next, Leo Lewis?

Is Drew Willy finished here?
Dunigan mentioned on TSN after last game that we lack talent and its not all on Willy. True or not? Do we have a speed guy (Chris Williams, Chad Owens etc)? We appear to lack a big, physical receiver (Bowman, Arceneux etc). Thoughts

You're gonna need a bigger jersey ...
I hear Tee Martin is still in good shape.

What are some of the other Bomber Message Boards?
EP had a poster named BomberDave who has been a fan for two weeks and loves Willy. Also likes to tell other fans to be better fans. Some of it is pretty funny.

Time for a Real GM
Three years in and still waiting for Walters to find a quality I OL, quality DE to pair with Westerman, a speedster receiver and a big, physical receiver. What does he do all day, play Pokemon Go?

The OL Excuse
What percentage of our running plays are straight up the middle?

Depth Chart against Edm.
1. Don't see MOS's love of Green. 2. Curious why Sheppard over Mayo. 3. Excited to see what Loffler can do.

Is Drew Willy finished here?
Jones always threw more TDs than Ints and averaged over 12 wins a year from 01 to 03. There is a reason fans remember him fondly.

Is Drew Willy finished here?
I think we ultimately go back to him. Pay cut or gone in the off-season. Willy is not Glenn. Glenn had three season with us with at least 25 td passes, Willy has 27 total, including 14 as a high. Who takes him in the off-season?
