Blue-urns

Willy's the QB I wanted most, so very happy about this. 
 
There is also a pretty awesome side effect though... Ottawa's gotta have $850k tied up at the QB position.  As much as Desjardins is publicly stating he's bringing all of that ass to showbiz... there's no way it makes it to camp. 
 
Ottawa's price tag for Glenn just dropped.

Hopefully we can look back at today was the day the franchise turned things around.

More like questions being asked if we just lost Etienne for nothing and he played well elsewhere, don't you think?

With the moves they have made in the last week I am almost guarantee that Kohlert has a contract already drawn up with the Bombers ready for his signature.

I'll keep this short and sweet: ******* rights!!

Detain was always going there.

Extend Willy?
 
REALLY?
 
Come on.

You turned those two in a vet defence leader and a potential franchise quarterback.

Agreed I like Max but the Bombers can't stand pat.  If he gets injured (and he will) there has to be a capable QB waiting to step in or vice-versa.  At this point I don't care who it is, Glenn, Willy, Tate, Nichols, Nieswander.....but we do need two solid candidates.  So Bombers better keep pursuing any and all available options because they are diminishing quickly.

Any qb would have got hurt with our offensive line play last season.

When Hall was put in, he showed he was learning the system, was reading the defence well and usually put the ball in the right read.
He was progressing nicely and seems to show an aptitude for the Canadian game.
He can move the ball.
That's the good news.
 
His arm strength is only functional to a spot or leading a receiver. As to velocity, I believe I typed this post faster.
Haven't seen a display of arm strength.
There is also the issue of scramble ability. Not…a…strong…point. 
 
All in all, I can see Hall as a decent back up who can come in and play the game.
Not sold on him being a starter.
 
**I was/am a fan of bringing in Willy.

Certainly would confuse more tacklers on the option play.

Nichols is definitely an upgrade over Goltz, but then there are no end of QB hopefuls who are. When Nichols was healthy, he was effective in a very lame offense, and unless Max Hall has improved a whole bunch since last year, Nichols is way better than him, too. The only question is whether Hervey is going to be rigid in what he thinks Nichols is worth.

Nichols is an upgrade on what we have now, even if he shows up at camp with one foot pointed the wrong way.

More athletic. Stronger arm... I like Hall as he seems to have adapted well to the CFL game. The guy seems pretty intelligent but he has deficiencies like lack of arm strength.... He ,ay grow into a legit CFL starter someday. 

If we sign Willy and get Nichols we don't need Glenn

Meh... bring him in.. If he sucks or get Injured then cut/ ir him.. 
 
If we don't have glenn or another proven starter, bring in the best backups and let them fight it out for "starting" qb on our team.. maybe we get lucky.. maybe all our QB are  put in the IR.
 
BUT... we know that the QBs we currently have on the roster would not be starting on any other team.
 
Give up a conditional draft pick? Sure..   but don't go crazy..

Conditional pick.  A 6th if he makes our roster out of training camp bumped up to a 4th if he dresses for 12 games, a 3rd if he starts 9 games.
 
Certainly wouldn't give up anything up front for a guy who hasn't shown he's recovered from the first major ligament (and broken ankle) injury before the next one happened (ACL).

i think that asking for a "high draft" pick is a good opening salvo from Hervey. the report didn't suggest that he was demanding a 1st rounder so i think that there's room for negotiations here (as there always is).
 
new scenery could be very good for Nichols.

And the lesson is…serious injuries age players quickly.

It's football bones get broken, they heal, how's his throwing shoulder and nogg'in, those are things you worry about on a QB.
 
Everyone thought Glenn's knees were shot when he was a Bomber and he's done pretty well since leaving, in fact he's been more mobile since leaving.

That sounds like a real pain in the butt.

I love Nichols and would be happy to have him here, just not for a high pick.

I woundn't mind him as a backup.  I'd give up a 3rd rounder.

in a year or two Hank will be 40+ years old not sure a guy that old who relies on his athleticism will ever be a bargain at that price.
