For sure. They were devoid of leadership and character throughout the entire organization from ownership through to waterboy.

If QB is your need then it can help out immensely. Comparing Edmonton is not an apt comparison. Harris was not making them better at QB because they had Reilly the year before. Also, QB was never Edmonton's problem, it was defence and poor discipline.

Yeah...the Argos really were rudderless at QB this year. Not a single guy in that room that could rally the troops.

MBT is a bit of a flake though, I don't think he inspires the guys around him very well. He's got a great arm but lacks leadership qualities imo. I could be out to lunch on that but just watching him on the sidelines and in his interviews the guy is...what's the word...a little different.

I'm with you on that. I wanna be drinking by the campfire on Friday night as much as possible. I like the Thursday games. However, I can understand why many don't. For those that don't please take solace In the fact that, somewhere out in the nether regions of internet pariah-land, gbill is losing his marbles about the Thursday games and probably writing letters to the CFL about it while getting banned from whatever forum he now frequents.

I suspect that when married men do this it's so that they can get their wife to quit hating their buddies and start hating their buddies wife instead. Meow...

Chris is clearly in the first couple years of marriage before the Fun Police has eviscerated the boy inside the man. Nichols has been married a few and his succubus...I mean wife...has clearly drained his zest for life and it is reflected by the distant look of sadness in his eyes. A telling trait of marriage single guys...when some married guy tries to tell you marriage is the best thing they've ever done...just look at their dim, sad eyes and know that is what their wife programmed them to say.

In Mike Kelly's defence it is very hard to run the jet sweep 61 times a game from the shotgun.

Rigmaiden turning down the GM job in Montreal is a huge relief as well. I was more upset about thinking we lost him than I was about Lapo leaving. RR has done some very good scouting for us in his time here and now he'll do more.

I'll be astonished if you guys have a win by Labor Day,

I would. Their is a coaching SMS in place and a 5 year contract could be crippling if MOS ever lost the room.

About time. Long overdue.

Why don't you wait until he actually signs somewhere before deciding what is bullshit or not. Geez that;s weak, even by your standards of illogic.

Zach Collaros and his concussion history are not in a position to rule anything out right now. It's unlikely there will be any teams looking to throw a wad of cash at him so he is simply not ruling anything out. As he should. If Toronto comes calling for him with a dollar number in the same neighborhood as us, and I doubt Walters will offer him much, he will go there.

What projections? I said Zach Collaros is damaged goods, you are the one making the idiotic claim that his health is less of a concern than Nichols.

QBs, both current and prospective, are going to be real interested in whether we re-sign Bryant and Hardrick.

There are many reasons to like ZC ahead of MN, but it is ridiculous to suggest that he is less of an injury risk than quite frankly anyone. ZC has a concussion history that would have retired most players already. Love his play, but let's not minimize the risk to signing him. If we sign him we better have a very solid backup plan because the chances of him lasting the season are remote.

He might. Good problem to have tho.

This year was magic...but football is a what have you done for me lately business. Next year is next year and if we struggle I want heads to roll just as if we were in a 30 year GC drought. We are the GC champs and should not be approaching next year, or in the age of 1 year contracts, any year as a rebuild. We have the foundation in place now my expectations are on field success every year.

He wasn't willing to go on the PR, however, I don't think there were any bad terms or anything and a good chance he would re-sign with us.

Should Willie leave I hope we sign McAlister. He played extremely well for us in the game he played and reminded me a lot of Willie J. Of course, I wouldn't expect him to match Willie J but he sure looked like an up and comer that deserves a shot.

Max signing bonus limit is really low for players with less than 4 years experience. However, the teams can guarantee as much of the base salary as they want. To date, the highest contract a CFL player has gotten in guaranteed money from the NFL is a 10k signing bonus and 85k of their contract guaranteed.

If Jefferson doesn't get some significant guaranteed money he will not sign in the NFL.

Very possible that they did and we are doing TO a solid by not releasing him until they have a contract worked out.

Baseball doesn't have an SMS. Throwing the doors open before all teams have their final SMS numbers in and the ability to use up left over cap space wouldn't be great. However, they certainly could move it up to January 1, I would think.
