Stanley Bryant really escapes blame here because he was so good in Calgary and he's a big name but he's been extremely underwhelming since he's been here IMO. Very average which isn't anything close to what we pay him to be. Not that Chung and Goossen are all stars, but inthink they've been let down by the Imports and veterans as opposed to vice versa.

In the post I quoted you said he was our starting centre last year which I was correcting that's all.

Picard started almost every game last year. Goossen started a few at C, and a few at guard where he really struggled. His snapping alone made him a far better Option at Centre than Picard though. Just another situation where O'Shea sticks with one of his mediocre players.

True, I mean we did take Richards over Durant who despite not having a huge 2015 actually looks like he'll be a quality Canadian in the league.

He's who would be on our team if it wasn't for the Waggonner selection.

Philip gagnon is a starter actually yeah.

I wonder when the peanut gallery will finally be ready to admit that Waggoner is shomari Williams 2.0. Him and Addison Richards were absolutely atrocious picks.

22 points allowed, 7 of which were because of the awful Willy interception IIRC and two because we decided to concede a safety. Our D was the only reason this game wasn't an utter and complete blow out...

He definitely realizes that his job is in danger and the same old schtick just isn't cutting it anymore.

O'Shea sounds like Jim Daley. Willy also seemed to be under the impression we played well in the second half.

By who? The best QB who's been available in that time is Trevor Harris who isn't any better than Willy.

He honestly looked like Ricky Ray lite throughout 2015, it's just mind blowing to see him play this badly.

Great seven games to start 2014, starts to struggle and gets hurt. Comes back and looks shell shocked, also gets outplayed by Brian brohm and Robert Marve. Comes out for the first games of 2015 and plays great for the most part but can't stay healthy again albeit our awful Oline didn't help. Then he comes out this year and apparently didn't look good throughout training camp, and was our worst QB throughout the pre season along with a horrible opening game. He's unpredictable at best that's for sure.

I suggested the Waggoner pick was god awful the entire off season and was ripped to shreds by the peanut gallery. The guy just isn't a starter in the CFL and we missed out on a starting lineman like gagnon to take him.

Poor pass, not to mention that Smith had no business lining up at wide out running that route. That play would've been perfect for Darvin Adams.

I'm honestly getting to the point where I have complete apathy towards the Bombers.

I was a big proponent for Willy over Burris. But in hindsight, it looks like targeting Burris was the right move and willy was our third choice for a good reason.

We need a lot more than that.

You mean, nobody > klutch lol?

I hope Walters is inquiring about James Franklin at this minute.

Is rod pedersen even worth quoting? He might be the most useless "insider" in the CFL.

Yup if Vernon Adams is worth a first you could make a case that Franklin is worth this. I mean I wouldn't make that case but you theoretically could. JSJ and a mid round pick for Franklin sounds fair.

Good to hear! Always scary when someone is stretchered off.

Ray looked done when he came back last year, and hasn't looked much better to start this year. Not to mention that he's coming off of a serious rotator cuff injury and is 37 years old and it's easy to see why people believe he's breaking down. He would've made for a perfect backup to Trevor Harris.
