He signed with Edmonton late last year as well before moving on to the XFL where he actually got some meaningful playing time.
It’s crazy to me scouts would rather take a chance on him, rather than Schoen who was the absolute best receiver in the CFL as a rookie. Makes no sense.

Who was that ******* NFL RB who got busted for pot so the CFL let him play up here for a season and he had a huge target on his back. He said he could run for 5k in a season and he didn't do **** because he was old and washed up at that point and every team just keyed on him heavy......
yeah that’s just not true, he went back to the NFL and was still a 1000 yard rusher.

Why is everyone calling him Corny? Is this a nickname I’ve missed out on. Anyways, he’s a good athlete, with a decent arm, the difference between him and a guy like Collaros, and Rourke is that they use their legs to extend the play so that they can pass down field, to me once Corn Hole feels pressure he uses his legs and puts his head down to try and run, for Edmonton’s sake I hope the coaching staff is working on making him more of a pass first quarterback, especially once the pocket breaks down.

Has Maas been taking classes so he can swear in both official languages?
Only in the CFL can you fail upwards. Terrible O in Saskatchewan.. gets fired, gets rewarding with a head coaching position..

Shows how good number 8 is, the way he moves up the pocket with his legs to create time, his head still looking at the receiver down the field and to hit a 50 yard dime without firmly planting his feet, it’s just incredible, I don’t think any other QB in the league makes that throw.

I’m a little surprised Darvin Adam’s is still a free agent. He had a nice bounce back year.. nearly 1000 yards and 15 yards a catch. At worst he is still a good jump ball receiver, and an excellent blocker.. if we weren’t absolutely loaded at receiver I wouldn’t mind him being here as the 4th or 5th option.

I think that title will go to Wieneke. Haven't officially heard anything, but rumors are north of 190.
Well Harris is also making 1.2 mill over the next two years with the Riders, but picking a team that needs to desperately over spend just doesn’t feel right!

Agreed. Sayles was for sure a JAG, wasn’t sad to see him go.
Probably the worst contract given out on FA. A lot of credit to his agent to get a rotational player paid like a star.

He let Medlock do it but not Legghio. More like distrust in Legghio making the kick.
He had Matt Nichols as his starting QB and his best receiver was Darvin Adam’s. No disrespect to either of those guys but big difference. We played in a lot of closer games where we needed the 3 points and we left a lot of points on the board as it was settling for 3 instead of 7 in the redzone. Something we don’t often do anymore.

So he lacks faith in Legghio's range. A common consensus of the fans. lol
No he values field position, big difference. He puts trust in Legghio to pin them deep, he puts trust in the D to do their job and he knows once we get the ball back on a short field we’re going to be putting up touchdowns more often then not.

Sorry Mike for agreeing with you. I find it hilarious that the "usual suspects" go on the attack when anyone, even Mike, says anything that's not uber positive. It's nice to know that it's not just me.
I think Walters has had a great off season signing our own, but receiver is the only upgrade we've got from last year's shoulda woulda coulda won the Grey Cup team. It may be the only one we need as long as the older guys have one more year in them.
MOS' "We use our MLB differently than other teams" is the same lame excuse he's used before for much less talented people than Bighill. I love Bighill, but he didn't earn his salary last year, especially at the end of the season when he was a step slow and didn't wrap up. I can only hope that was due to injury, not age.
Jeffcoat's another guy who I don't think earned his salary last year. I'd have looked for younger/cheaper and used the extra to upgrade @ DT.
Bryant was still all star quality last year, but not a dominant as he has been. At 36, the wheels could fall off at any time.
Agodusi is a one game wonder, but that doesn't really matter because he'll be the 4th or 5th option.
We're still the top team in the league because Collaros is head and shoulders above any other starting QB in the CFL. Rourke was the closest QB last year, and he's in the NFL now, so it's not even close now.
Bring on the 'Yah Buts'.
So if anyone disagrees with you it’s so called “ yah but” interesting..I guess that’s a full proof way of convincing yourself you’re right all the time.

After a busy negotiation period and active day one, it’s been pretty slow day two and three. Probably not a lot of cap room left for most GM’s. Would love to bring in a DL like Mike Moore, or Shane Ray want to beef up that DLine otherwise I’m pretty content on what we’ve done this off season. Have to rely on our scouts to continue to bring in talent.

People say we aging an old...but if you look at DB's for example....Darby is just 30...Rose and BA are 29....Nichols and Lawrence 28 and rest are 26 and under....lot of tread left right across the board...Not concerned at all, as for the 2020 era football player they are smack dab right in their prime years, or just entering them
Same with receiver...3 guys as it stands at 29...rest are in mid 20's....not an issue at all
as for oline...most dont hit their prime/best until 30....and we all know Bryant is still tops....as has the 2 other "old guys" Neuf and Hardrick at 34 and 32....save for Kolo rest are mid 20 somethings....perfect for an oline
Well said. We’re the best team on paper because unlike most great teams we didn’t lose anyone of consequence to FA, and we added the best receiver in the game to an already great receiving core. With all the injuries we had in our linebacking and secondary last season and the emergence of new starters we’re in a great position. Not to mention like you said our scouting staff is always bringing in new talent to fill our roster.

I don't see how though.... I mean OK let's say you like the Argos front 7 more (highly debatable since I think you are reading too much into age of these guys and some unfortunate injuries last season)... the Bombers offense is very clearly head and shoulders above the argos on paper and special teams who can really say but the argos biggest issue on teams is a kicker who sometimes goes on a mental walk about same as here. Overall the argos are not at winnipegs level.
The 15-3 Bombers who added the best receiver in the game aren’t the best team on paper? I mean fair enough @Mikeplease educate us on who you think the best team on “paper” is it the Toronto Argonauts who don’t have a starting QB currently?

If we’re going to make any more moves I would love to bring in Mike Moore. Solid DT, had six sacks last season with the Als.

2002 we went 12-6 and lost the West final on a missed FG to an Edmonton team that spent a bajillion dollars in free agency that year, before there was an SMS. Not an apt comparison...but if that is your worst case scenario I will take it.
Not to mention that early 2000’s team won nothing. I’ll take the pedigree of proven winners over a team that never was.

A fluke...
Fine. Have it your way.
The only fluke was that the Bombers didn't get killed in their 1 point loss.
I haven't seen anyone hereabouts mention that until we finally got that first Interception that four other ones before that went through Argonaut fingers and would've sealed the day.
We were more physical. That is never a fluke.
And to my everlasting amazement, Ryan Dinwiddie embarrassed O'Shea.
That all happened and the only luck was that it wasn't a multiple score Argo win.
7-0.
You’re on a bomber forum we’re not going to sit here all day and circle jerk your Grey Cup victory. Congrats on the win, any given Sunday, let’s leave it at that and move on you don’t need constant validation from another teams fan base.
