B-F-F-C

Injury history aside (though obviously it is part of the equation when considering trades) Tate is much more of a ruthless and cerebral QB than Glenn. He'll have his foot on a team's throat and keep pressing down harder. His attitude rubs some people the wrong way. Personally, I love it when a QB is animated. You see it presently with Tom Brady, and you use to see it in the past with Dunigan all the time during his playing days.

And that helps us how exactly?   I don't understand the love for Neiswander ..
 
... at all. 

And if we give up any of our assets our draft picks for Kevin Glenn...I'll puke.   That will be the final slap in the face to the fans. 

I hope Henry sends a Christmas card to Zach Collaros this year.   He owes him BIG time.  

LOL.  Exactly.  Now we're saved!

OH PHEW!

Oh yes, the Kelly comment was bound to come up at some point
 
According to everything we've been told by the Bombers, they have now lost out on Plan A and Plan B.
 
Think about how that looks to average fan, who read the Lawless and Penton articles a few days ago.
 
But hey, maybe Glenn and Willy were Plan A all along and Walters has now manipulated everyone into thinking they weren't.
 
Maybe Bomber fans are schizophrenic because they have to be.
 

Maybe because you hedge your bets and take the best QB you can guarantee  you can get through the draft without having to to worry about the outcome of a bidding war..  You know.. like we could have traded for Glenn last year. (speculative) 
 
If anything it shows they aren't complancent in what they have and are trying to field the strongest team possible.. Wish i could feel the same way about us.  They are sitting pretty.. They have TWO STARTING QBS that HAVE BEEN TO THE GREY CUP In the past two seasons... Meanwhile, we sit here trying to figure out what we can possibly do to find someone better then Hall and Goltz..

Whatever your thoughts on Henry Burris, I don't see how the team continually losing out on coveted free agents can possibly be seen as a positive.

Can we just write 2014 off and not play?  Ottawa can just take our spot and next year we can come back and pick all the players we want rather then having to bid for them? 

Bomber fans have demonstrated time and time again that they do not have the patience required to develop a new qb. 

We should be very excited we will be getting one of the best QBs in the CFL. The Bombers are now in the playoff conversation, assuming Burris signs.

Signing Burris seems to be a fore-gone conclusion. Reminds me of 1988 when we signed a washed up Roy Dewalt to be our starter as the era of Clements/Hufnagel had finally come to an end. I couldn't stand Dewalt given how many times BC had beaten us and I really couldn't stand seeing him in our uniform. The difference is that Dewalt was washed up by the time he came here and ended up being released during the season, while I think Burris is still able to compete. I was at the game in August where Hank thrashed us and man did he still have a gun for an arm. It's just the brain I am concerned with, he has a tendency to screw up at the worst possible times. You could see how fed up Austin was with some of Hank's bad plays during last season. And he can be a complete jack-arse and not much of a team guy, at least that's what it appears sometimes, maybe that's just a bum rap I don't know. But if he wins for us, all that will be forgotten. I'm just so tired of losing. Beyond tired.

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.

Bellefeuille is not my first choice but honestly last year was not a fair indication of his abilities as an OC.   I don't care who our OC was last year, with Pierce, Hall, Goltz and a porous O-line.  Even Dave Dickinson wouldn't have been able to get that offence performing at a high level.   
 
O'Shea must have seen something there and I trust that he's not settling with MB.     Let's give MB a full training camp and let him institute his own offence.    Oh and get him a QB that can play.  

The thing is, and I'm not trying to be argumentative, is that is probably not true.  Because the people that do grade him out brought him back.
 
It could be the youthful OL's we have so much hope for (Swisten, Pencer) really suck according to the new coaches.  Or that we will just end up cutting Morley before the season.  
 
Not that I like either of these guys anymore than the rest of you.  It's just that as of now we need them because they haven't adequately been replaced, yet.

A lot of people on here know something Mike O'Shea doesn't.

Please not Marcel Bell a FOOL for OC.

Best of luck to monsieur Labbe, the team just got a little weaker, both in his play and in his spirit. 
Good Canadian character is not easily drafted and I feel that after all the forward progress made with the recent hirings, we've just lost a few yards in player character.
 
Maybe they'll name a Latte after you at the Stadium.
The Labbe Latte. You know, a good blend of strength and character.
The only thing is .. you'll have to drink it slowly.
 

I would take the chance on Khari. 
 
While Khari as HC was giving me nightmares, I could really see him flourishing in this role. Like to see him rise to glory with our team. 
 
All that said, its a young CEO, GM, HC, and OC. Lets get some grey hair doing DC already!

Source tells me Khari Jones on his flight from Regina to Winnipeg...stay tuned #Bombers fans. #CFL

I like Rick Campbell and I think is a good choice.   I'm sure they're hoping he brings that "Midas Touch" his father had.    

I may be the only one who's happy with the appointment.  I never was interested in Higgins and quite frankly there weren't many other candidates out there that I believe have more to offer than Walters does.  
 
Yes it's a hunch but I feel good about the choice and I think he's the guy that will over time get us back to respectability.   He appears to be level headed and not one to make knee jerk reactions.  But the big question is.  Will the fans give this new group the patience to get the job done?  I know this rebuild has been in the works for a few years but the landscape has changed and it may take another 2 years to complete.  
 
I'm confident in the management team that he'll put in place team but I'm willing to be patient.  
 
First move...hire O'Shea as the head coach.  

I like the move and I believe that Walter's will turn his detractors around. 
 
I believe he's just as qualified to as the other candidates out there.
