I really felt/hoped he would retire a Jet. All signs say not. Was my #1 favorite current Jet, gave us a unique identity. Oh well. Nothing lasts forever. He provided us with hours and hours of entertainment not to mention many great meme's. Thank you, it was a great ride. All the best to DB and his family. Now lets free up that cash, strengthen our team and make available #33 to any Jet who wants it.

Fair enough, one way to look at it for sure. However, playing from behind when he was active suggests he was part (not all) of the reason this team was bad. I'm guessing the Argo's will pull the trigger quite quickly if he falters out of the gate.

'Bethel-Thompson did lead the league in 4Q attempts when trailing by 15+ (50). 26/50, 308 yds, 3 TD, 1 INT Down by 9 or more it's still just 75 of his almost 500 attempts'. - DT on Sports Cage I'm not sure being the league leader in 4Q attempts makes your case to be the starter.

Will be interesting to see how our O redefines itself after losing Lapo, MN and Strev. Any full back QB's available on the market?

Okay boomer. 🙂

You could be right. Cut from the same mould anyway

Neil Sheehy of all people providing an opinion that Thachuk didn’t need to fight Kassian. Who cares what you think fine sir who cross checked Dale Hawerchuk and ruined any chance we had beating the Oilers in the next round of playoffs after disposing the flames. Cheap shot artists should sit this one out on providing an opinion when it comes to things like this. Kindly stfu.

Collaros to Walker, touchdown.

I grinned at the one that remarked, based on his mug shot, he's obviously retired, rich and out of f#cks.

Imo, the best GM's know how to blend both.

Yup, though sport sure can be a nasty business at times. Like may posters have said already, wish MN nothing but the best for him and his family. You wore the colours well.

And what's exciting is having a whole training camp for BP and ZC to get prepared.

Yup fair enough but I do think he needs to own some of the responsibility for the team being in extreme danger of not making the playoffs this year. For example our current crop of D-men. I for one don't think our Head Coach is the primary reason for our current predicament. However I do recognize that sometimes a coaching change can be the jolt that is needed whether coaching is the primary problem or not.

Sharks GM Doug Wilson given a vote of confidence and Gerard Gallant fired on a feeling. Two different positions I know but fascinating how teams take different approaches to hiring and firing.

I’m beginning to think the Jet’s mom’s may be bad luck.

Makes you wonder

Or no one really knew/knows what was/is happening other than the people directly involved the day we signed Collaros.

RB's better hope Arbuckle doesn't contract the Willy virus (with no disrespect to Drew Willy, I'm sure he's a great human being)

I find it interesting that some posters here claimed pretty confidently that Collaros was just a rental and he was good as gone to the Argoblows at season end. My guess is Collaros has a warm spot for our organization in giving him the shot he needed that is competing with Pinball's smile and motivational speeches.

Recent winning having a negative effect there?

If the Jets end up missing the playoffs this year and knowing that players, coaches and injuries will share the blame, how much can be distributed to Chevy?

I'm also thinking the firing of Gallant will make some existing coaches nervous not in general but specifically that Gallant will replace them.

it could also mean McCrimmon has overestimated the talent he has amassed.

TSN: 'Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon says that it was tough to let Gerard Gallant go, but something didn't feel right, and that it wasn't 'something we did in haste.' Riiiiight, nothing to see here folks. Edit: Oh how I hope they sink like a rock in the standings.

Right which may support my premise when you really think about it.
