I like the season starting late May. Can't come soon enough after a long winter!
Hate that 8/9 teams will make the playoffs now. Like the attempt at eliminating the issues with divisions but not sure I like this wonky playoff format.

I'm not saying it was a good idea but none of us have any idea who would have been available in later rounds.
This draft proved again that none of the CFL, TSN, or 3downnation guys have any clue where anyone will be drafted beyond the first few guys.

What a bizarre stream of posts. You think this pick was entirely Walters driven? Because of a one minute clip?
Walters is the facilitator on draft day as the guy in the GM seat, but to think he just dreamt this up without significant input from the coaching staff is insane. Think about this for one second: we just hired a new OC who has a decent history of using this type of player, we have never sought out this type of player until now and people are suggesting it’s just pure coincidence that we went out and got a guy like Daniels?
I don’t know why people are so dead set on this “it’s gonna be one or the other” thing. They all work together. I have no idea how to feel about the Daniels pick but I know it wasn’t just Walters and the scouts cooking up the bright idea of snagging a tight end. That desire for sure came with a great deal of input from the coaching staff.

Have to think they to plan to use this guy on running downs rather than bringing in the 6th ol like we did with Eli last year. I’m all for it if he can actually chip in with the odd catch.

I'd bet they want him to the play that 6th oline spot that Tui did last year.

Better would just be a nationalized American for the 8th spot

Nationalized Americans
Nationalized American players are defined as having played with their current team for 3 years or at least 5 years in the League. One Nationalized American player may be listed as one of the eight National starters.
National Players
A Club must start at least eight Nationals, however one of these Nationals may be a Nationalized American.  Prior to the game, each Club must identify how many National starters will be playing on offence and defence and that number cannot be deviated from.

One day contract so Biggie can retire as a Bomber.

Good on the Riders for taking this seriously.

You literally did not say that in the post I quoted no matter how slowly you want me to read the words.
If you meant "at some point it's time for him to move on" then fine but I can't read your damn mind.

Read what I said again. Slowly. I never said we should move on from Elgersma. I said at some point HE HAD TO MOVE ON from the NFL tryouts. I also said I hope he does well as I hope for any Bomber rookie trying to make the team. That's all I said. Like, seriously??

lol you, me and literally every other literate person here all know that’s not all you said.
You’ve been shitting on this guy for months because his career goals don’t align with your fandom. I hope you can learn to cheer for him and anyone else who chooses to manage their own career

Heavy balls was Corny. Dolegala throws rainbows.
Why would we be even close to being at the point to moving on from a draft pick from less than a year ago?
Should we take every QB off our neg list that has been there for more than a year because it's time to move on?

Good on the Riders for taking this seriously.

It’s crazy, because if anything I think he’s underhyped at this point. We all really have no idea, he’s raw and will need coaching but the NFL liked his tools and I don’t see why we wouldn’t either.
But because the majority of us are butthurt, we just expect him to suck. He might but he also might be our next QB1. We’re so far removed from what he’s been working on to have any idea if he’s good or not.
