I figured that Mayo would stay in the lineup until Darvin was back and that's barring any injuries to our other receivers.

That article by Dunk was awesome. But one question, if we're having these issues with Nichols, how was the Trevor Harris contract structured? I haven't heard a single thing about Ottawa potentially have these issues, but you would think it would be a bigger deal over there considering that Burris and Harris have higher base salaries than Willy and Nichols respectively.

Weston Dressler

Adams was easily the worst of our receivers. I'm glad to see him go.

The fact that pick six got taken away by the Hail Mary challenge is just wow. Austin got the same tick tack call against the Riders last week as well.

Willy had a subpar O-line, but had great receivers. Nichols has a pretty good O-line, but horrific receivers. These things tend to balance themselves out. How would Nichols do if he was ''afforded assets'' like Weston Dressler, Darvin Adams and Ryan Smith?

I'm thinking a team like Toronto might be willing to give up more for Willy in the off season. I would personally hold onto him through the season unless we get assets plus a solid back up(Glenn) in whatever deal we make. I've been as disgusted by his play as anyone here, but I'd like to see him play again before we give him away.

Richards and JFG have been invisible? Well no kidding they don't see the field..

How many teams in the CFL would go 4-0 without their top 3 receivers? How would Edmonton look if Bowman and Walker both got hurt?

I would say that the delay of game would be an ideal penalties for challenges that are proven wrong, but not for the ones that aren't overturned because the evidence is inconclusive.

It's progress but it's not enough.

I'm not sure how I feel about the optics of asking a guy to restructure mid season.

Using the word ''useless''for all of them aside from Adams was a tad harsh I agree, but I'm not sure I'd use the term ''good prospects'' either.

I did forget about the good game Mayo had against the Ticats, given our dominance it is difficult to remember everything good that happened . Hey, I would like nothing more than for one of these guys to prove themselves as a consistent contributor but it hasn't happened yet. There's no arguing that recruiting receivers has been one of Walters weak spots, and I personally don't believe any of these guys have shown very much to make me believe otherwise yet. That being said, I would love to be proven wrong.

I'd argue that none of them have shown anything at all really - Mayo had the decent game against Calgary when we got **** kicked. But aside from that? Nothing at all. There's a reason that they all keep coming in and out of the lineup, none of them have really played good enough to deserve a spot. The good news is, once all of our guys are healthy we won't have to play any of them.

Teague got demoted? Wow. I'm surprised he's not back on the active roster if he's healthy.

Sadly it seems like all five of those receivers are just about useless.

I'd take him over Davis/Mayo/Adams for sure, but definitely not over any of our core guys. I guess it depends on the extent of the injury to Darvin Adams, but if Dress & Smith are back soon I don't see the need.

He also had a few outstanding games, and our current starting QB was given to us for peanuts because Franklin was considered to be a superior player.

First of all, I didn't compare Franklin to Harris. Second of all, It's the eye test. Franklin has a lot of supporters in the league and for good reason. He's not a similar player, but he's in the exact same situation Mike Reilly was before he came to Edmonton. By the way, Reilly also threw for under 1000 yards passing before signing in Edmonton.

Letting Harris leave was a mistake and they have to know that, doing it again and passing up on Franklin for the sole purpose of being stubborn would be fallacy.

Those guys are going no where. Funny that Hurl was mentioned though, he is on a decent six figure contract...

I'm not a Willy defender, but he was A LOT better than Nichols last season.

You think an injury prone backup O-lineman is more valuable than a very good back up QB?

Those games are mostly attended by family and friends, you may attract a few more people if you drop the price a little bit, but certainitly not 4x the amount they have which you'll need to make it worth it.
