I don't have a huge issue with this deal, even not liking Willy that much. It's not guaranteed in the next 2 years, so if Willy continues to be mediocre we can let him go. If he plays again like he did first 5 games of last season, then great we have our franchise QB.
It's low risk and high rewards. Good deal.
As far as Willy goes himself... I'm not sold on him. You can't teach someone to be a good decision maker under pressure. That's a natural gift like speed and size. We have a small sample size on him, though, so hopefully he will turn it around and be a lot better next year.

I'll always be a Jets guy 1st and foremost. I love that team as if they're waging a holy war and I'm a zealot. But I also love the Bombers. My enthusiasm for the Big Blue has faded a lot over the last 2 decades of boobery and poor management. I really hope that's in the process of turning around... because its fun to see the crowd get amped up like crazy when were doing really well

I should say, not re-extended. He's only here for 1 more year I thought>

So it's nearly football time again, and with the Jets now gone from the post season my attention has shifted back to the Bombers and the CFL.
How was our off season? I noticed we signed a lot of help on offence, specifically our line.
Is there a sense around the league of a shift in power in the West, or, are we still looking to a Calgary #1, with everyone else scrambling?
Any update on our backup qb situation? Is Marve still unsigned? Even around?
Thanks for any updates.

You can always learn to act your age and show some respect...
There is very little about you worth respecting, whether I agree with your opinions or not.
It's something that is earned, not given.
The motto of this forum should be a middle finger. Lol. Wow. Way to be welcoming and all inclusive.

Some people are just able to look at the big picture and not fall into the shallow line of thinking that "team loses, qb must be bad!!!!"
My god the first 6 games of the year left quite an impression on you didn't they
Because he's shown to be highly capable, it's his first year as a starter and he's surrounded by (at most times) a pretty terrible supporting cast?I really really don't understand why most people here are in love with Willy... He might have had the worst second half of a season I've ever seen from a Bombers QB.
Yeah that's what I did.
Or... I looked at a Qb being bad and simply called it as it is.

Peoples over evaluation of Willy is as comical as people wanting marve to start over him.
Willy needs to be given more time next season. He also needs to make better decisions. His interception throwing is very concerning, but these are issues that time and experience may solve.
-
All I know is Marve hands down has more talent than Willy, whether he gets fair chance to continue to prove it, i doubt it.
I have NEVER seen a Bomber QB with escapability like that and still have the ability to turn around and reposition himself enough to throw a dart in, all while still looking down field and making a fairly fast guy look like a fool.
Also, it's annoying how people talk about Willy like he's been lighting the league up for years.
Willy is the next Dan Marino. Wash your mouth out with soap sir.

Our Bombers are now 2 games away from losing the entire second half of a season. Have we ever done this before? Even with 16 game schedule included. There's zero chance we win in Calgary so our only hope to salvage some iota of pride would be vs bc next week.
Improved my ass.

It's crazy how excited I was for the game yesterday. And how 'meh' I am to go to tonights Bomber game. This team is and franchise is more disappointing than anything I can humorously drum up. I guess I'm excited to see the new stadium, but even if the Bombers stun the Stampeders it's not like were making the playoffs. I'm more excited to go to Alycias Ukrainian deli, in other words.

What do you define as losing interest?
If it means you watch the games still and go out to the stadium, but don't care what happens, then sure, I've lost interest.
If it means you tune out and dont watch the games then no, I haven't.
I can't imagine how anyone who's a Bomber fan could care about this team anymore this season. I mean get really emotionally invested. They've checked out, how can you stay totally checked in? When I go to the game next week vs Calgary I'll be there to enjoy the new stadium and being around all my fellow Bomber fans, but win or lose it makes no difference. Will I be happier with a win? Of course. Does it matter? No.
Some of us are true fans and never lose interest.
My hero. /sarcasm.

i wonder if we ruined drew willy or he wasnt that good to begin with?
-
this team is a massive improvement from last year. lol
anyways, on a more serious notes. MOS looks way over his head. we have a bad offensive line. our coordinators on both sides of the ball are routinely being out coached. bring your brooms fellas, cuz its a mess.
-
god i hope we win. im really getting tired of losing.
if we do lose tonight i wonder if people will still keep insisting we've made such big improvements from last year.,
They could lose every remaining game and it would still be a huge improvement from last year, I think you are forgetting just how bad they were last year. Out of the game before the first quarter was done more nights than not, at least this time when they're getting beaten it's after a close game.
I just don't subscribe to this logic. I think it matters where the losses and wins happen. If we had started off this bad, and recently won 5 of 6 I could agree. But were regressing so sharply that has to be taken into account. If we lose every game remaining in the season, including to a terrible Ottawa team, this team is in deep trouble next season. Wins in July and August mean nothing if the team completely falls apart. I just don't get how that's not understood,.

Wambulance mfranc? LOL
Nothing will bring me greater pleasure than watching the Riders lose in the playoffs this year. Zilch. You're coming on here beaking off about your team beating one of the worst teams in CFL history and it took overtime to do it. Yes, your team got away with another touchdown return where 2 infractions occurred. Stop trying to passing it off as if its a magical balancing act. It was a screw up and a bad call. No tears, no crying, no waahmbulance or however you hip kids spell it. Your team is overrated and will crash hard. Facts.

Bad officiating is bad officiating if its a conspiracy its the worlds most inept because the incompetence and inconsistency is so obvious.
True. Problem with some posters around here is they only see the bad officiating when they want to and turn a blind eye when they don't want to see it.
The only thing worse than incompetent boobery that costs teams a game with terrible non calls is when fans who receive those calls then proclaim that calls were missed both ways.
-
missed block to the back and a roughing the kicker both missed on a touchdown play. stay competent, cfl officials lol
-
I didn't call out any one person. Rather I said just take the whole post in. Over reaction by you and no, lol, no apology will be forthcoming.

If anyone wants some entertainment go read the thread for this at rfans. I honestly can say that if anyone was neutral on rider fans they can go there and see for themselves first hand what kind of football fans they are.
Absolute classless pigs of a fan base. I can't wait for Calgary or Edmonton or whoever to roll them hard in the playoffs.
-
As much as a tool box I think mfranc is its not fair to bring his rider fans posts to question here.

For the record, when I asked Mike O'Shea last night if he thought Drew Willy's injury was serious, he said: "No." #Bombers
Was he smiling?
Sign Willy!

I agree.
But you can't teach smart.
