That's not really accurate unless you add in the off season acquisitions too.

What's really funny is that the Riders are 'looking into him' but we have no interest......someone please explain that.

We need a full slate of LB'ers and more beef at DT.

I think January did a great job of keeping the players in Wpg in line.

Purrfect Friday thread, thanks.

i'm pro union...
but i'm very anti public sector union.

Whatever happens, I hope we draft wisely cause the Sun thinks we should start doing that LOL

We have seen enough 'off the board' picks for one lifetime.

At least Walters is liked by Lawless, that's half the battle right there.
 
Imo, Mack/Butchko were just brought in to be penny counters until the new revenue streams came on line, neither guy was capable of guiding a CFL club to any on field success. However, when you tank in the CFL, the reward is supposed to be Canadian depth, which Walters was to be stock piling for us. For whatever reason, Mack should have let Walters do his job, to me that was his biggest failing.

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.

For team with no QB, we sure are picky, maybe that's the problem.

Would you give up Kito, for Nicholls, he was a high pick and that should be a no brainer.

If Walters had a set of nuts to go with being a nice guy, here's what he'd do:
 
When he heard OTT was in the mix for 400-plus over 3 years, offer Henry 450 plus this year, 500 next year, 550 the third -- a truly appalling, bat **** crazy contract that appeals to Henry's massive ego. 
 
Henry signs in a heartbeat, it shows the Bombers "mean business/have balls," and makes agents of other FAs take notice. Then offer Willy a contract that is aggressive and is heavily weighed in year 2 and 3. 
 
You see where this is going. You cut Henry outright the end of year one and re-neg Willy to be starter.  

Which player, Banks or Poblah, was more valuable to their team........that is all you need to know about this trade.

Great trade and as Mike said, Kito making north of 100k was a waste. Banks is stud with an attitude and will earn every cent of his pay cheque, I hope they keep moves like this one coming. Love it or hate Burris would fit in very nicely now.

Right now, Dave Stala is a better NI receiver than what we have, although you could make a case for Watson. He just made the Als a better team and would have done the same for the Bombers if they had signed him.

They should call it what it really is, OC/Assistant HC and I doubt you'd find a better available candidate for the job than MB.

The Riders just made a mint off of the GC, 2015 or 2025 won't matter to them what the future costs are, especially once the new stadium is up and running and they are pulling down even more revenue, I can see this becoming their m.o. and driving the weaker sisters to their knees, everything they bitched and complained about happening to them in the past, hypocrites is apt.

From past experience, players that know Stubler's system that are FA's on other teams want to play under him again. So, if this is true & he is our DC I would expect there would be a lot of interest for free agents to sign here.

You're still missing the point here. It was Rider fans who screamed louder than anyone about the Esks cheating when they were over the cap and winning even though the cap back then was even less enforced. Now though it's just the way business is done when it's the Riders doing it. We're laughing at their hypocritical nature here nothing more nothing less. 

Love this move based on the players he found in Hamilton the past 5 years. Plus he should know what a good qb looks like.

I voted no, when a guy like Higgins withdraws his name, you know the game was rigged from the start.....same old BS as always. I used to laugh at the people who thought that until the BOD was cleansed or another oversight body elected that things would never change, it appears they were right all along.

I just hope no one decides that Pat DelMonaco needs to remain as the OL coach.

If Walters is the best guy for the job then great. Problem is, he's not. Penton said it in his column the other day and everyone already knows this. Miller knows this. So why is he giving the job to Walters? Because apparently an "exhaustive search" in Bomber Land means leaving your office, walking down the hallway, running into anybody you recognize and asking "Oh hey, you know there's a GM job available, wanna do it? But if anyone asks, say you interviewed for it."
This is the impression I get every time the Bombers need to make a new hire and claim they will be scouring the league looking for the best possible candidate for the job. Like they did for a head coach after canning LaPo right? They found the best possible candidate. In the ENTIRE LEAGUE. That's what we got. He was right under our nose the whole time.
The problem is the attitude this organization seems to have every time we go through this. As long as a person is "adequate" or "good enough", they fit the bill. Forget RENEWED RIVALRIES, 2014's slogan should just be those two terms beneath our logo.
