OK once again read what Walter's has stated....how many player fell in the draft because teams were not sure if they would come to the CFL...how many were drafted later on as a throw away. This is not made up despite your repeated head in the sand stats.

Well it's related to the draft and the difficulty teams are having tracking which top Cdn will even dress in the CFL....and the price they pay when they do...if you read Walter's article this is not going away.How you fix it without some type of change in ratio flexibility is the question. Hopefully most posters are right and this isn't a big problem.

Well let's see...you have a league that doesnt make a bunch paying out more for players who are guaranteed positions and a much smaller pool to draw from ...it's not rocket surgery...?

The only problem with that is that a team like Calgary (stacked with Cdns)will take a flyer on a top rated Cdn who may not end up here in a later round if there is an additional draft. But these are definitely steps in the right direction.

Hmmm when your required to have a minimum number of Cdns on your team I think your still have to play them no? Just opens up where they have to play to give teams more flexibility. Any way somethings gonna have to give because the CFL draft is killing teams chances for a fair rebuild when there is so much uncertainty over whether a top Cdn will ever play in the CFL. It's become a total crapshoot. And even if he ends up here in 2 or 3 years you lose the really good ones to free agency....

Well I think the point is we have to start be critical of weak coaching and possibly a weak Gm. If Chevy rewards PM with a multi year contract after this type of year where is the accountability? If he does should not Chevy be accountable as well if PM fails?

Cause it's the CFL??? Doesn't mean they have to start no matter what though does it? Read what our own Bombers Gm has to say about the draft. It's very tough on CFL teams to do this balancing act...

Can't bring in Hutch can't take a timeout....great period. 2 more years of this...Woo-hoo!

Well finally we have some independent reviews in......http://www.tsn.ca/talent/yost-the-jets-are-this-season-s-biggest-disappointment-1.698157

Well IC Khari one playoff in 6 years ain't exactly a ringing endorsement in most hockey circles....

Or wideside receiver....

Well I'm not ready to quit on Hellenbuyck his defense is brutal at times.He could of used a decent vet goalie to help him out too...I remember Johnathon Quick having a tough up and down couple of years.. goalies you have to be patient with...but throwing him to the wolves rests on Chevy and Pomo..

Yea and the year after that too...hell sign Pomo to a 3 year extension ...y not we got time to burn in the peg...

You can add in if Chevy resigns Maurice to a multi year contract this off-season then he should follow if Maurice fails.But it won't happen cause Chipman has stated in public that he thinks Chevy is a genius....besides winning an AHL cup what has he won to warrant that thinking is a head scratcher. ? He is great at being patient I will give him that.

Seen way too many former NFL Qbs crash and burn here...and Vince doesn't look in great shape at all. Have to say if he looks good in TC might sell some tickets but if he doesn't it's gonna be a tough year if they force Young in to start....but it will be fun to watch ethier way.??

Not that there is anything wrong with that....??

Hey he's got 3 goals only 8 behind Lowry .....pp time here it comes...??

Oh no I want him playing, I hope Pomo puts him on the PP as well as his stellar work on the PK...?

Usually in a 1-1 game with 10 min to go no most great coaches think about making sure you don't give up an easy one at the end of a game....esp shorthanded which is a backbreaker...

Well Pomo showed u great game poor special teams....and Buff wasn't great...10 min to go 1-1 and your putting a forward on d for the pp? Oh well the special teams will get better eventually under Pomo.?

Though Walter's could really piss off some people here and grab Picton in the second round....I can hear the groans...??

Hey the singers for this game look like a tall,medium and large....??

Lankford is an international though...

Hey thnks for that insider info ...nice to see Nichols reach out to a former teammate and help the Blue as well?

Every Gm makes a bad call on a draft especially in the CFL where there are so many variables....and we are not 100% sure yet that Richard's is a bust. Walter's has turned this franchise around from a laughing stock to a competitive team with 2 first round picks this year...if we get burnt on Richard's meh who gives a rats ass really....I'll take this regime over the last 4 any day of the week...thanks.
