Same Is he even allowed in Canada Why don't we get Nic Marshall to car pool up with him while we at it?...I thought we only brought on high character guys? And if true typical...recycle old garbage -
True...so we a 500 club last 3 playoffs inluding 22'..not sure why you wanted to start in 23'...not good enough...500 club this yr...and trending down...badly Really should have been 10-8 last yr without that gift from God So I guess 17-15...still...not good enough when the repeat reasons for failure keep occuring
-
he's had the last 2 yrs at minimum to adapt....and thats giving him some benefit of the doubt and some rope from past success But he has shown either no ability...or no desire to unless forced to...be it injury or a lil gentle suggestion from above....to me that says you get what you see, and an old stubborn war horse such as that...at this juncture in his career isn't gonna change....so it's time to say thanks for all the good things...being a huge part of the resurrection here....but time to say goodbye and we will honor you accordingly in the near future based on last 3 grey cups....and 2024 and this season to date...we are a .500 ball club....and we aint currently trending up...we trending down.... and save for that 2024 Montreal miracle fluke of biblical proportions...we sub .500 Thats 30 games
-
can't argue that haha
-
we had no o.c as well into FA....Another huge factor in where a guy may wanna go.....and we yreated that as no big deal....more stellar work with the ho-hum off-season hahah....dont be so weak lol
-
there was Lawler...Coxie...Lewis...Rhymes among others....even Hollins...all gonna be available....but we targeted a back from brutal injury White Jr....back from injury Schoen...and a never was really in Sterns....who mind you would been a good cheap compliment to 2 studs...and to further add to the pile of meh Cobb....and heralded Mitchell as some huge steal...and paid handsomely...then sat and ate his salary until finally last week...then targeted him 3 times and didnt implement anything for him to show what he is capable of....stellar work if I say so lol
-
we could have got him for 275k...and be money well spent....we just cheaped out...again....recurring theme....But have no issue in wasting money on sub par guys....basically just cause they were here in the glory 2 yrs
-
BO....He's due
-
Dalton vs Kenny would have made sense if he wasn't coming off only 11 months post acl repair
-
Done!
-
I was thinking you'd land a scouting or co-rd gig......but also open to suggestion...what ya want??...lol
-
haha....yup....wanted to alleviate your stress....just get arses in seats...bring in some legit half time acts...lol
-
Solution you can be Prez @wbbfan @GCn20 are co-G.M's @Mike head of scouting...pick yer 3 mates I gonna HC this ship...combo of old school and player coach who's relatable @JuranBoldenRules new position...Game day efficiency guy @17to85 you gonna be finding our co-ords....I have faith @SpeedFlex27 since you an old fart no real position...just roam around with the years of knowledge and cool stories you have about the league and team and @Noeller dedicated poster...not sure where we fit you in but we will give you sideline access none the less....hahaha There we have it...done....finished...solved 🤣 funny part...I bet that crew could have squeeked out a couple cup wins thru 2022-2024

I hope Osh decides to move on ....and he doesnt have the acumen for G.M.....not a attack on him, but some guys just dont have the make-up and or desire for such a position....He being one
-
YUP...Been a slow steady build and we didnt do anything to prevent it really...if anything we fueled it....and are kinda scuffling now

If we are unable to land any other legit number one prospect QB via either FA or trade, we have to bring all the guys back.....proclaim it's an open camp and have a true QB competition.....all guys get as much or even equal work with the #1's and whomever comes out of camp and has shown the best, and has the most tools in their toolbox to work with...then roll with them....Not much else we can do about it But another season going into camp with the declaring this guy is our guy here...thatguy there before a single snap is taken in TC is just the prelude to more of the same ol same ol And another good indicator is if we dont immediately say shortly after the season and pre free agency that we are moving on from player A thru F....again...expect more the same until HC and or GM are canned by game 6....thats if they are re-upped 12 YRS is a long time and with no signs of any deviation from what was previously done....dont expect it in yr 13....ya cut bait before we are cellar dwellers -
HARD TO SAY....A player me not fit someplace...but fit nice other places....we prime example of that..Maston...Taylor...T.Jones ...Griffin as example...all discarded into the scrap heap....we picked them up...Maston and Taylor were key to our cup rin victory in 2019....T.Jones tho not the best has replaced Biggie and has actually improved this yr somewhat...especially when playing with the other Jones....Griffin...been one of our best defenders 2 yrs running now So to just be standing there wheels spinning and not even making an attempt just reeks of us thinking we good and the good ship Oshea is gonna magically turn around with minimal work done to it, And it's not...not this current group as we see it, and with the coaching so far this yr...it's just not We are a coupe of key injuries god forbid of plummeting right to the bottom as we have zero depth behind anyone...well proven deth that is, and we not givibg guys reps....in games where it's a foregone conclusion we arent gonna win, or the odd one where we up by 3 scores....which is odd and rare now didnt say that....but there are probably 3...4 guys who shouldn't be starting...and prob of that group a couple who shouldnt be on the roster. Also MOS cut adrift many guys last few yrs who out performed hold overs as well, younger guys with more athletic ability and nice skill sets ...just to run it back with what he is familiar with and had success...key word "had" yrs ago now. Would they have been better....who knows...but wouldnt be worse...would be hungry to earn and ake their spot and all had up side...just like any star in league had when they first got their shot.... I dont think that Osh is the best evaluator of talent....it's quite obvious from his roster decisions alone and who gets majority of reps. He values some things moreso over actual talent...The roon and other vets will control the room and guys will fall in line....it's been like that forever in any football locker room...it's not a new concept we created after Osh was brought in i not gonna mention names...and guys wont say it to the press...they will convey the usual narrative but there are players...current and past who have said this....and ys ...whether you wanna believe it or not some guys havn't came here for thatvery reason.....I'm not assuming this either....but like I said I will not say names total complacency....too much grey area of who is actually in charge and makes the hard decisions....too much buddy buddy And zero adapting and evolving....Osh still thinks his main guys and how to go about things is circa 2021....and we are eons from that era

Other teams..making moves trying to find pieces that may work for them As we twiddling our thumbs believing we all good

he wont be like that in 2026 tho....may even be much better late this yr.....Everyone thinks he is what he is post surgery and thats not the case...especially 11 months removed....Judgment cant really be passed until a full camp next yr....actual weapons to throw to...and an OC that has half a brain.....ZC not so much tho...we have seen his slide now for 3 yrs...and he aint getting younger -

ouch we know how this team works tho...a vet if signed before the season is basically locked up...also gauranteed to be starting in said position...I think if we can get assets for him this yr that will help us this yr...and next...we take that shot...especially if we are wallowing in 4th place yeah...I think we are stuck in a bad spot to be honest.....very bad foresight 2 yrs ago -

its a one yr deal right?...so I think to have a guarantee portion it needs to be 3 yr deal....but I could be wrong -
THATS what I said...Walters is involved in the National scouting...ie....Canadian draft G.M's dont build the roster...they bring in the players but DONT tell HC who to cut/retain....if thats happening your in real trouble as a franchise. So how is it telling y=that Osh keeps guysyr after yr rather than replacing them...If it's tellung anything it's saying Osh isnt held accountable to a certain degree Fact of the matter from HC up we been bumbling and stumbling and that combo has been a huge reason of our erosion and total lack of deoth and top line talent...and usually more times than not the HC is expunged before anyone.....or they clean house top to bottom....I think we need to change one of the pieces and see if that changes things for the better first....then go from there

I'm sure it's for top dollar....Not Rourke STUPID 600K+ amount but prob top 2 or 3 in league tho and 500k ball park....which is too much based on what we have seen even last yr already Isnt Brown a free agent this winter?....They should target him and if land him try and trade ZC or just cut him free before any signing bonus due....A healthy Strev as the backup/tandem guy with Brown would be a nice pair...Thats with a new OC mind you -
walters doesnt go out scouting save for canada college guys.....thats on his staff....and even then....we keep literally nobody new the last few yrs other than due to an injury where we forced to....so cant toss that alll on Walters. And even then Osh has his nose right in there in who we target in draft and what he likes...and its pluggers and slugs that for most part will never crack a starting lineup..... And yes...they give/gave Osh way too much say on player retention and also he picks the squad at end of day...and chose to keep washed up....aged out...and in a few instances...not good enough guys....yr after yr yeah across the board our talent is not top 3 or 4 in league.....million dollar question tho......who's to blame for it? and why? sad part a mere 4 ..5 yrs ago we were loaded top to bottom...but let many walk....kept many over their best before date hoping we could recapture the past with them, and do probably the worst job in the league in developing guys on the fly, so when it mattered most...they had experience and trust...that part of the problem is easy to pin on one guy and one guy only
