  1. thing is tho with Lawler....I havnt seen a real thank you tweet or social media post toward the organization, city, team mates....unless I missed it....especially when they stood behind him and supported him for his massive brain fart. If he did post something meaningful and genuine then excuse my ignorance....but I haven't seen it. I didnt even see a lot of contratulatory tweets or comments at him fro ex team mates either...unless again I just missed then....Harris tho has gotten many...and deservedly so
  2. Yeah..it's more of a situation of allocation of money/sms this and next yr in order to continue being successful ...ongoing and not be left with nothing. Securing young promising talent while still staying on top of league...and not letting talent leave because u took risk signing a very old for the position rb who just had a season that causes alarm with aging players...I'd rather have management looking forward and not back....and if he felt hurt or dissed at a reduced role...less pay for said role and had to basically do a physical and show what he had prior to signing ..and didn't like it...well guess it is time to turn the page with grace and class..I don't see the bombers talking in the media or saying anything remotely negative...or even another teamate saying anything...even cryptically... I hope he shows everyone what he has left as we wrap up first place and a west final again next yr
  3. Maybe Harris should have used that motivation and drive last yr a bit more...and then when asked to prove to the Bombers that he was healthy and still had it when they asked and secure a deal he felt wasn't a slap in the face....instead of pouting about it and acting like he was disrespected...put your money where yer Yap is if u truly wanna be here ..that's my take He did and gave a lot to the team...not denying that..but only after he had a bit of a sit down scolding when he first got back here...we will be fine and from sounds of a lot of the things I hear..and some other stuff coming out....he isn't really the heartbeat of the team and what made it and the locker room tick....that's all still here ...we will be fine and I bet u the game Toronto has against us that defense is gonna step it up to shut him down ..and shut him up
  4. Ellingson prob feels like he won the lottery...
  5. Of course O'Day gonna defend him....if he doesn't Faj will wilt and pout...his psychie is as fragile as an egg. And yeah he was in top 3 in 2019 cause he was only starter to basically play all year Same with this yr...if BLM...Masoli or Evans ..Harris...played a full slate..he would have been behind Zack.. Reilly and 3 more guys....plus his efficiency...was horrible...and it was laughable for passed 20 or more yards..what was it..like 6 or something?? As much as Jones is a tool...he hit a bullseye on that
  6. u also have to factor in where he "wants" to be...that holds a lot of weight too. And a prorated mid season pick up would fit us well....if it came down to him exhausting all options down south first. Maybe the quality backup market was set with the Harris deal??..who knows, but I am sure we could find a way to fit 125-150k in....For one season...I totally can see him coming back to the team he knows and loves for a friendly deal...2023 tho be a different story, especially if he comes back better than he was
  7. yup....dumb clause for sure
  8. i'd take him as 3rd import option with Ellingson and Bailey
  9. yup..Strev has speed...but not elite...what make him different is he gets up to speed fast with power, and its hard to get him until he has a good head of steam...and yeah he didnt get a 2 yr look in NFL if he couldnt pass, or was flawed.....the workouts are extensive and very particular for QB's...so if there were red flags he would have never got a chance, let alone hung around as long as he did He suffers from basically not getting a chance in a offence geared to some of his strengths, but not focused on it, and a lack of reps....give him the reigns of an offence 100% to grow into, and he will win you a lot more than he will lose, and on a team like ours....could get u a cup
  10. wasnt word the the ELKS used up their bonus limit?..I could be wrong but yeah a bad deal if things dont pan out...injury, performance...
  11. exactly...this was a classic case of how to stagnate and ***** a players progression...look at yr 1 140 att 86 comp 61.4 % 1134 yds 8.1 avg 11 td 7.9 td% 5 int 3.6 int % 65 long 98.3 Rating Not bad for a raw rookie with 2 yrs of QB experience as a starter in college when allowed to actually play QB... Last yr of college was 316 of 481 for 4183 yards and 32 TD's...also ran for 720 yards and 11 TD's....so tis narrative of he cant throw is wildly exaggerated. Let him play actual QB and not gimmick boy. Threw for 52 td's and 6100 yards in 2 seasons and23 games...for comparison...in 45 games The Faj (4 seasons and 45 games) threw for 9600 yards and 52 TD's....and apparently he is the next coming
  12. Streveler you have to remember is/was still learning....he came here with really only 2 yrs of true starting under his belt, and did fairly well right out of the gate, as a pure rookie. He in my opinion got stunted here by Lapo once he realized what kind of runner and beast he was, and didnt allow him to really be a true QB or work on anything in practice to actually develop...they shoved him in this "box" of what they wanted to use him as and never let him out of it....how's a guy supposed to develp? There is nothing wrong with his arm strength...I was at the stadium when he first came up, and was still unsigned, and he had to practice after the team....had him throwing to Bison players, with all types of throws, as well into the net, and throwing to spots on the field...and was dead on and looked great. I had no clue who this was, and thought if that was the Bison QB they brought in..then damn!!!
  13. Even the announcers want out of Regina haha
  14. I'm assuming they going 2 national receivers there this yr as well..so loss of him and Lenius cuts into that depth..so it's Baker and...Picton and Hardy?? And that backup thy got off Ottawa scrap heap who couldn't make that steaming pile of turds of a lineup last yr?...damn...that's a sad sack quartet
  15. Prukop was the best option out there..and has never got a chance to do anything with a full compliment around him...he's gonna come in to do what McGuire was asked...nothing more..nothing less. If anything we have upgraded that position this off season as we have a 5 yr CFL backup now..who has seen live bullets and knows the league. Basically...he has done what That Faj did up until ZC got knocked out with the Riders 3 yrs ago. Had a better arm than the Faj too
  16. more Canadian depth disappearing....dont see a lot of good things there this yr at this point in time
  17. and the previous 2 passes before that were almost picked as well. Taylor was in perfect position, and a high ball which the Faj generally throws anyway had safety support over top too....it was a pick, or a pass knockdown anyway you slice it, but the Greenies can cling to their beliefs they were a play away from the Cup...and even that isn't true....they were a play away of possibly tying it if they could make the convert
  18. not sure..the O.T touchdown pass, or 2 pt convert may have hit the upright...and on a serious note...I dont think Tha Faj could have done what ZC did the last half of the 4th
  19. and J Reaves leaves Riders for Elks...man their Canadian depth guys are getting thin and lean too there....on top of the depleted D-line, and not addressing the shitacular O-line
  20. on bad teams.....how did ZC look in Sask...done like dinner....
  21. he only here to run short yardage....mop up duty...If ZC gets knocked out for the yr....or a big extended time....u know there will be a trade happening
  22. I'm fine with that as a back-up and to run short yardage...maybe some gimmicky crap....when he got dumped I had hoped we kicked the tires...He has experience in the CFL and will give us exactly what McGuire did and that seemed to work out....maybe more as he is more experienced and he can scramble for yards. He not here to push ZC for starter job, and likely is a 1 yr guy here. And he played behind crap lines his entire time in CFL and hasn't been in a room like we have here...I feel 100% better today knowing we hit camp with ZC...Prokoff and Brown and whatever new arms we bring in, than ZC...Brown and and a bunch of rooks and really....BC loses the starter...their back-up is totally unproven, heck so is their starter, Sask...who the heck even is their back-up?...Ticats?...same...and prob only reason he was let go in Edm cause Jones is a fool and he didnt meet the eye test of bodytype...I would also rather have prokoff than Ottawa back up as well..experience is like gold...and playing behind a solid line...like we have can work wonders for a QB....see ZC in Sask vs here
  23. Yeah BA signed for 2 as well...forgot about that one
  24. yeah...Woli..the RB's....good to have less to deal with next yr
  25. Elingson... Bailey..Demski and Woli are too
