HardCoreBlue

Well I see Jason Robertson has arrived on the scene to remind us to the fact yet that the pendulum has swung way to far over to the athlete's control. At this point, collusion among all 32 teams telling him to pound sand would be oustanding.

Helle is the best goaltender in the world. Any team that comes to the Jets and says yes but hey his post season stats aren't as good to rationalize their offer I would automatically end the discussion and tell them to pound sand. We are in the drivers seat on this one. Any player offered must be elite, not good, not great but elite.

As far as I know this starts with coaching that sets the tone.

Not the greatest way at flattering yourself.

If so I sit corrected but let’s just say it’s very very rare MOS will point to his 2nd string QB as his starting QB continues to struggle.

Um MOS has not at all shown that I can remember during his tenure here where he has pulled his starting QB because he was struggling almost to the point of Starting QB: 'Coach my left arm is broken. Response: You're right handed (as he points to the back up qb) and we aint putting that guy in.

Or to adopt a hockey strategy after a horrible game, a bag skate would be in order.

I get that professional coaches obviously know more than the normal lay person however like any expert, specialist in any vocation they can get things wrong and/or can be a bit off at times or just see things differently than another valid perspective etc etc. I 'love' the approach on discussion boards where some people are consistent with the shut this discussion down cuz I'm exhuasted with this discussion so I need to trot out the these people (insert coach, gm etc) know more than any of us combined to stop the discussion plus they agree with my viewpoint'. Most of what we tossle around here is not black/white it's more greyish. What's the point of a discussion board then just to agree with everything a pro sport person says on the grey. Not fun.

Yup makes sense to me. I'm just wondering where TE is at in his development as a quality starting qb in the CFL, do we have a plan for him and if so has he bought into it?

Do they have a high quality 2nd line centreman lying around to throw in as well? If we trade Helle we better make off like bandits Mr Chevy, your time to shine.

Just curious, as a big man how is TE on short yardage knowing it’s an art form to be consistently successful at it? Is it something to consider as I assume he’s the better overall QB than BP?

Can you go on the IR if your feelings are hurt? Imagine what that IR would look like if so. This increases my curiosity with what is this fascination with JM in Ottawa. Welcome back to Blue and Gold Dru!

Because the discussion board says so. :)

This says a lot about their GM, his team, any player who may have advocated for him and maybe even their owner.

Yes there are some highly qualified unemployed professional coaches out there who have earned another chance to be in the show but hey its our approach to give someone their 23rd chance to rectify their previous track record of ill advised behaviours with players and staff. Tracks.

Yes my son?

Wannabe coaches and a discussion board. Yup tracks.

How does it better the league to give players full control on where management can and cannot move them? Small market teams, especially ones located in Canada, teams that are located in places that aren't the most desirable to live, (e.g., cost of living, taxes, entertainment, climate etc etc) are at a severe disadvantage so levelling the playing field seems to be needed here. So one thing that could be done is ridding this no move clause or players are limited to three no move cities, or only tagged franchise players can have a list or . . . It just gets sillier and sillier to read '(insert player's name) camp will only accept this (insert specific cities, salary, TOI expectations etc etc). I'm exaggerating a bit but not much. Methinks the pendulum as swung way over to the players advantage and a little levelsetting is needed.

Here try this one: I'm forgetting that my picks need to be opposite of what HardCoreBlue picks.

Commonwealth stadium is no where near as bad as McMahon Stadium.

Not a good look. Need bums in the seats, optically sucks a**.
