WildPath reacted to Jimmy Pop in Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
I don't think it's ludicrous to suggest RECs may be following QBs they like.. .as another poster theorized the other day.
With D.Walker... I think there's lots of alluring things about TO and MLSE. Football specifc, fanbase etc... hell no. But as we see in other sports... lots of guys hate the spotlight. The flipside to the great fanbase argument is in a place like Toronto, Walker can conceivably have a year with no real pressure to succeed other than internal drive. Still makes the same coin...if not more... and I'd agree too that MLSE prob has some sort of housing options for these guys.
When guys spurn Wpg for the big cities, I often think we're lucky. I want the guys who see the team we have, Osh's leadership, the string of playoff appearances... if this city ain't good enough for you, than you're not good enough for us. Simple.

WildPath reacted to Mr Dee in Free Agent Frenzy
I’ve been excited in past years when we signed our share (and more) of free agents. - It didn’t work out.
I’m more patient now.
I’m dazzled by the Red Carpet treatment by a number of teams and even tempted to be a bit envious.
BUT
When I look at our roster, and see all the key re-signings that we’ve inked, and the couple of additions that we have made, I realize we didn’t need those more expensive options. We’re close.
Question marks remain, but you really didn’t want all the fun in one day, did you?

if all these teams blow their cash in February, we should be sitting pretty when the 5 receivers trying out for the NFL return to Canada. (Duke, Mitchell, Spencer, Williams Lambert, Michel)

ok so we've got Logan Couture at center....fair enough. Hope that Geoff Gray is good enough to start. It really sucks that Goosen retired, I was looking forward to him pushing guys down the field again like in the WSF.

The numbers on some of the FA receivers are pretty steep.... Ellingson 250, Walker 280, Posey 200... I guess I see why Walters stayed away from some of these guys...

Is streaming CJOB online an option? I do that occasionally.

Dressler on a cheap deal is adequate for depth.

WildPath reacted to M.O.A.B. in Free Agent Frenzy
I would like to think that BLM has no NFL offers from the NFL, and since he has no NFL leverage he's real intention is to comeback to the Stamps.
He just used the Riders and Argos so Huff would pony up the $$$.

WildPath reacted to Noeller in Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
My biggest thing is, I really don't want to overpay for some perceived "name"......**** going all in on this Derel Walker dog-and-pony show and pay him 275k when he's an injury risk. I'd much rather pay less for someone like Matthews, or someone we haven't even thought of yet, that might be just as good of a fit in the big picture.

I think it would be more typical Montreal if Loffler were 35 years old.

Agree with most of what you said, but I also question if it was smart to make our big money F.A. a defensive end. We already have Jeffcoat. Roe is serviceable, but admittedly better in rotation. But isn't DE a place we've done fairly well recruiting? Glad to have Jefferson, but wonder if DE is the best place to spend the money. Seems like we could have rolled the dice on recruiting a guy that's an upgrade to Roe and spent elsewhere.

WildPath reacted to Mr Dee in Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
It easily can be traced to the number of our own free agents we re-signed. The Bombers built this roster and really didn’t want to take a chance on Free Agency to get what they wanted. Teams have choices on how to build a roster. I like the way we were prepared. We didn’t have to rely on outbidding to get some players. We already had them. That’s where we put our money.

Leggett more suited for safety perhaps? That's usually where DB's go to die. Wouldn't mind trying him out there for the right price.

Zach is back
The Riders right on track
Daddy left town and he ain't comin back.
Took us for a ride on his big black bike,
Dropped us in a corn maze in the middle of the night.
Told us Uncle McAdoo would loves us and make it right.
Left us with a box of bills but countin ain't our thing,
Brother Willlie just ran away and probly stole our ring!
Ya know sister, it looks like our boy Zach ain't quite right, looks a bit cross-eyed...if ya know what I mean...and I think...you do.

If we’re considering guys like Rosey and Manny, why wouldn’t we just bring back Dressler? He’d likely come cheaper and has already played here.

It is hilarious that this thread even exists....

totally get why we moved on, but this makes me love Randle even more. Gotta be one of the better pro's to come thru here in recent memory.
