I doubt weather was a determining factor for these changes as you pointed out...It's really about revenue but how many fans are going to show up to meaningless games ....when nothing is left to gain. so in turn the club proceeds to give a half-hearted effort... Fans will get turned off affecting the numbers at the gate...This will be closely watched to see how much revenue is actually gained.....We shall see

If the plan was to trade up why didn't we go all the way with Ottawa and go for Vaccaro at no1,,,Walters seems to be sleep walking through this draft??

So we'll have a season of basically meaningless games... teams treading water leading us into an unnecessary convoluted playoff formula .....All of this to go along with moving the goal posts and whatever else this genius Johnson comes up with...Change for changes sake never goes well

Flutie or Tommy Clements.....this guy will pop-up somewhere and it wouldn't be bad thing if he ended up in the Peg

Really like the looks of this Pavia kid...You can tell this guy has the goods to make the grade wherever he ends up...He's got that spunk and talent that'll make him a winner... Seems he's got a chip on his shoulder after the NFL draft didn't go his way...I sure wouldn't mind trying to turn that chip into blue chip Bomber stock..Dreamin' I know but never say never I always say,,,,

All I can say is I hope the CFL scribes keep rating as an 'also ran' because I know we'll surprise the hell out of a few of them....These kinds of positionings and ratings this early, when a serious shot hasn't even been fired, amuse the heck out of me...We definitely had an excellent fa and I believe some of our off season signings are going to come through for us....I also believe quarterbacking will be the deciding factor about our success one way or the other...TC should tell us a lot and is certainly going to give us a better picture...In any case we are going to put a scare into some of the 'so called front runners' and could even give the top spot a run ourselves in the west.....We shall see

His name is/was Morris and he had a book store on Osborne I believe...He sure made the rounds on all of the CFL sites and got booted from a few of them...He had a penchant of rubbing people the wrong way...His use of the word 'vermin' to describe some people irked a few...Sure backed the bluengold ...one of his good attributes....He was certainly a 'legend in his own mind'

I think you avoided a visit from ICE

Seems his confidence level dropped and a few shanks will do that....I think he's still a competent kicker but with all of this global kicking talent spilling into the market, you better be on your game ...plus

Finally the kid made the right move and we'll get to see first hand what he's got and what we seen when we drafted him.....I hope he works out .....nice to see another Canadian qb get talked about besides the pivot in BC . ....Zack will be a great teacher and one Elgersma will learn a lot from...Looks like he's got all of the tools and it would be great for us to develop another CFL qb into a winner.....Here's hopin'

Of course the maga stuff I mused is all bull$hit....I threw that one in there to magnify how ridiculous this whole Elgersma saga is proceeding in the excited States...Getting a work visa down there is a rare thing lately....good luck with that Tuberville

Apparently AJ McCarron has called Tommy Tuberville and is hoping to push for a work visa for Elgersma ...Failing that he'll head over to the Whitehouse and try to get an audience with King Trump, to secure a UFL license to practice something somewhere in the states as long as it smells American....Meanwhile interest in the quarterback is dwindling fast in all quarters as the bench warming continues for the confused quarterback

The visa ain't coming .....and neither Is Elgersma, at least here, up till this point in time....The kid is floating in limbo that could last for a long time...Hardly a way to take care of your future

You forgot to insert the abort button....Someone pushed it early in the Jets season

So when does Elgersma find out if he can obtain a work visa or not....Certainly seems like a lot of dithering around with this guy...IF his playing in the UFL hinges on the visa, you would think the powers that be down there would expedite his request...For all he knows this could be a very long belabored procedure and his future hangs in the balance... I hope to hell his agent has the sense to at least approach our organization and give us something to go by, as the clock is ticking down...The whole handling of this kid is looking shoddy at best...

I'm really wondering why Elgersma doesn't dump his current agent...Some of what is happening with the kid via his representative smells of incompetency...Is this guy really concerned about Elgersma's career or is he more concerned about his own....Common sense should spell out that his best option for continuing his football career is with us...I think he's currently being sold a 'bill of goods' that are not at all to his benefit ....I have a sneaking hunch that the kid will finally see the light shortly and make the decision to don the bluengold...

Agree and it's a tight rope we'll be walking in 26' ....hoping Zack can hold it altogether is tenuous...Reason why we NEED a back-up that can come in and get it done....I've noticed that nobody hardly brings up the 'concussion' issue Zack has....Knocks on the noggin' just don't go away and I hope it never rears it's ugly head BUT just in case it does I hope one of the new qb signings can come in and surprise the hell out of us

IF Elgersma is trying to get a work permit to stick around down south, he could be hooped....One of our other draft pics of recent years ...I believe it was Dobson who was going through that process, and it didn't pan out...Shortly after he was denied the permit he was in camp...Could the same thing play out for Elgersma.....we shall see...I'd like to see the kid in tc frankly....just to get to see for myself what he's got...So far all I'm getting about his talent is inuendo and promise...

I'd say we think quality over quantity...Looking at the photo of these two guys I say we we have that going for us...Can't remember 2 home grown star players from Edm or Cal, being on the same Cup winner......ever

Yeah their ass is out a mile on that take.....DB's are the least of worries....As for Vaccaro, there's always a priority for canuck o linemen....he'll go early ...Only way we would see him is if we could cook up a deal and swap pics ...We do have that extra at the end of the second round that we could put in play....We always seem to hit it out of the park with home town guys.... Vaccaro would be a nice fit

I know a lot of fans are saying that we shouldn't consider MBT...I have qualms about it BUT he seems to be one of the only options we have, to bring in as a back-up in case Zack can't go...IF he can park his 'weird takes' at the door and keep them to himself, he would/could be one of our options...He has a lot of CFL experience and can still sling the rock effectively...With our revamped receiving corps he could be very effective...When we have painted ourselves into a corner like we have in the qb dept. I would say our avenues have become very narrow...

I think the jig was up when Vaval wasn't even mentioned....I believe he's still under contract for 26'.....Otherwise a big DUH for the AI take ....Says were still a contender for the Cup...hmmmm..isn't every team Day 1

You seen quarters??.....nickels and dimes used to be big if you had a couple of them...Bills were rare and if you seen a $2 bill with a buck in your wallet you were rich........When you see some of these contracts signed by certain athletes, I have to shake my head and wonder where it's all going to end,,,,......Times certainly have changed

yeah....that was kind of an awkward escort into the end zone ...He wasn't a bad receiver but not a 'Milt'.......................................Wow topics around here are getting a little thin.... can't wait for the draft

Certainly seems that way.....and I'll say OOOOPA to that...He just seemed a waste of space and time
