Someone please tell me why Goltz isn't doing QB sneaks?

Nice, a fan happy a player gets hurt. Classless.

I hope they take Poblah.

The scariest thing is, that since Kevin Glenn was cut the highest quality of QB play we've gotten is Steven Jyles in 2010. 

Given our situation I would probably prefer we get Collaros.

Here's the thing about Burke and his complaints regarding a lack of talent.
 
Similar talent was at least competitive under LaPolice. We may not have won a ton of games, but at least we felt like we had a chance to win. I watch this team now and all I can think is that they have absolutely no chance. Given that these are professional athletes competing against other professional athletes, you'd think we could at least put up somewhat of a fight.
 
To me, the main issue with this team is coaching. Top to bottom, they are doing absolutely nothing to improve the skillset of our roster. I can count on one hand the number of players we've had during the Delmonaco/Howell/Burke regime who have improved under their watch. Most of our imports seem to get worse the more they work with our coaches. Matthews came here and lit the world on fire, now he can't catch. Denmark was a ROY candidate, now he's a spare part who struggles to get open. Simpson played on instinct last year and seemed dominant at times, but struggled this year with our new offensive schemes. Our defensive backs, aside from Washington, seem to be getting worse. Ian Wild and Desia Dunn both debuted incredibly strong and now look mediocre (maybe a byproduct of our entire defense) ... in two years, they couldn't teach Alex Hall how to time his break well enough to avoid going offside. Mike Sims-Walker was highly touted enough to get his own press conference as a CFL rookie when he came here and now he can't even crack the lineup because Howell can't get through to him on the waggle. And don't even get me started on what our quarterbacks are doing in their development.
 
It's ridiculous. Our coaching is garbage. Talent level may be on the lower end but they could still produce a LOT better with some average coaches.

I like how he uses Quarterback as the number one excuse, he wanted both Elliot and Brink released because Max Hall and Justin Goltz would be ''improvements'' and he also believed Buck Pierce would be an adequate starting QB this season. Burke has to take just as much as blame as anyone for our horrific trio of Buck, Goltz and Hall.

I hope that isn't Burke implying he expects to come back next season.
 
I would seriously consider canceling my season tickets.

Yeah, he even gives Cauchy Muamba a run for his money an as incompetent Canadian safety.
 
It would be nice to have Mike Edem.

Saturday was the first game in a long time where I found out the score by checking my phone.
 
I'll usually watch ANY Bomber game ... couldn't be bothered on Saturday.

Lots of people having a strange reaction to this trade in all honesty.
 
First of all, no big surprise that Hall didn't have the value some thought he did. He's got no term left and he's made it pretty clear that he wants to try the NFL. Not only is he a rental, I'd be surprised if Saskatchewan could afford the pay day it'd take to resign him. I think he's back in the CFL next year but I don't think it's with the Riders.
 
Neufeld isn't a terrible offensive lineman but he certainly does suck at guard and as odd as it sounds, we suddenly have a mediocre logjam of NI talent at right tackle. Hopefully Pencer translates to guard. This probably means we don't protect Swiston from Ottawa now.
 
Reasons the draft pick means very little to me ... this is a pretty thin draft with the new eligibility rules so trading out of 2014 and into 2015 works for me. Not a huge fan of the two round drop but to me, that's what you pay for getting a 24 year old NI lineman who is signed through 2015.

Really!   Adam Rita hasn't been a GM since 2010,  Higgins not since 2008 and the others are non starters. 
 
Higgins would be the only one on the list that I would even give an interview to.   If we're going to look at any current AGM, then we have to give the same consideration to Walters.       

John Murphy has never been a GM, I'm not sure that qualifies as ''experienced''.
 
The question is, would he be a better fit as GM than Walters? And would they be able to co-exist? I'm not so sure about that.

I'm surprised the fact that Kent Austin is a notorious flake himself, yet refusing to let a player go to the NFL which is in essence a gigantic promotion isn't more of a topic. These guys have short careers that can end in instant, I definitely don't agree with the way Williams went about his business but who can blame him? He could've played out his 50K contract, blew out his ACL and his career could be over. Would the Ticats support him? Not a chance in hell. I didn't particularly like when Taman held Kyries Hebert here instead of going to the Bengals, and I don't particularly like this.
 
I'm definitely not wishing failure upon the guy like everyone here seems to be, its really petty IMO.

The only conclusion I can come to is that ''The Unknown Poster'' is actually in fact Tim Burke himself.

Here's one that someone could post on the other site for Shankmann
 

I can't believe Washington took the blame seeing as how hes been far and away the best guy in our secondary all season. 

I would still take Ray over Collaros at this point in time, but oh boy Collaros is making a believer out of me. The only guy I'd rather have is Bo Levi Mitchell. After missing out on Mike Reilly, we NEED to get Collaros in the off season and not settle for a Drew Tate or a Drew Willy type of player.

Braley bailed out Hamilton, BC & then Toronto. There may not have been a CFL if not for him. You can trash the man all you like but where are the owners with money??? Nowhere. Just like out in Atlantic Canada. Nowhere to be found out there, either.

I never want to see Boatman play another down again. We might as well as give Pencer a shot at this point.
