Probably Desjardins with a Glenn trade proposal. Real obvious, I know.

A great Lawless article. I'm expecting the sun to drop out of the sky at some point today. In all seriousness, it is good to see the football operations beginning to operate on a level playing field with the rest of the league.

I tend to agree. I sure wouldn't trade anything for him. Let Desjardin cut him before we think about bringing him in, if at all.

What about Michael DiCroce? Any chance the Bombers bring him into camp?

For sure. LOL I just tuned into FP website to see Walters non-answer a question and then press conference ended. I sure learned a lot, LOL.

More like questions being asked if we just lost Etienne for nothing and he played well elsewhere, don't you think? Well no I'm thinking more along the lines of if Etienne plays well somewhere else then why couldn't he do it here? Would raise a hell of a lot of questions about a lot of things don't you think? Like I said I don't mind trading FA for FA if you don't expect to sigh the guy but if the Bombers so totally gave up on/ never gave a chance to Etienne and he winds up working out where he plays next then it raises a lot of serious questions. They gave him way more chance than anybody else would have if they didn't have so much credibility invested in him. If he wasn't the 4th overall pick selected 3 rounds before he should have been he would have been cut in his first mini-camp. He also wouldn't have been inserted into the game day roster to stand on the sidelines and not play special teams. We also wouldn't have lost McHenry to try save face by keeping Jade on the roster. We also would have given Rory more meaningful playing time earlier. If he goes on to contribute in Sask it's a credit to his perseverance and Sask's system and surrounding talent. But you can't say he didn't get his chances here. While i think the bolded part is going a little over board, i do think Jade was drafted too high. If we snagged him with our 2nd rounder that might have put less pressure on him and the team to keep him on the 42man roster.

I'm going to wait for Wiecek's negative spin on this one. Must kill him that we made a good move.

I understand not wanting to overpay for Burris, but consistently losing out on QB talent just shows the perception that htis organization has. It is going to be a long road out of gloom city.

17, I can hardly wait until the season starts with Burris as our QB. The comedic value of your posts will triple, I predict (and i mean that in a good way).

word is that Bombers and Ticats both put "starter" money out there for Collaros. What more could the Bombers do? Like other posters here, I think our reputation swayed him, not the $$$. That's all fine and good, but we still blew another opportunity. I don' t care what the reason is/was whatever... Come on, there are plenty of factors in play here. If the bombers were outbid I'd be upset but if he chose the Ticats and the Bombers did everything they could, what more can you ask. That's fine for you to think that way and I have no problem with that reasoning, but... we still FAILED again and this fan is sick of it. i don't blame you there. the constant negative results on and off the field is certainly hard on fans.

Well there you go. If he is correct then what else could the Bombers do? I'll speculate - he chose the Ticats because of our reputation as a shithole of a franchise. It takes time to change that reputation.

Within reason yes, I agree. It's not like we were competing for Anthony Calvillo in his prime. There is some risk involved as he is still largely unproven.

Until we know what offers were made by each team, I think that the bolded is statement is just speculation. If the Bombers were outbid, then I'd really be pissed off.

Damn, I wanted him bad. Well i guess its Hank & Willy (I hope). Too bad this team's reputation is a joke.

I'm with you but I think we will have to wait if he has any NFL tryouts first.

I'm ok with this signing and that's all that matters. Good Day, sirs.

I agree - if we can pull off a Willy we should be extremely satisfied. Got some extra time on your HANDS, KBF?

This is why willing to be open minded and give MB a chance. Trying to work with crowton's offense in the last half of the year hamstrung MB. Let's see what he can do with a full TC under his terms.

I'm not wild about this hire but I will give him a chance. A full TC with his own play book and we'll see.

That might explain it then.

Kohlert - I'm not happy. Why would they protect Poblah/Etienne over him?

I would have posted earlier but i was too busy triple quoting Mike's post.

I often wonder why TSN continues to employ him. He adds nothing to any broadcast.
