2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
Stickem replied to TBURGESS's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
IF a player is a French Canadian...I would say his preference would be to sign there...AND IF it came down to a few dollars dif in a contract, I think playing at home would be a draw....Not always mind you but lets be realistic...We have a few on our club that prefer playing at home...see Demski and Brady....I see other players who lean that way for their hometown ... Sad to see Woli go..A lot of fans are going to be unhappy with the decision to let him go...Sometimes moves like these hurt....but that's the world of football and professional sports -

It's money....money......money.....and the nfl has lot's of it.....So they wave the bucks and it's adios....It's always a players dream to play down south and nobody will ever stomp on anyone's dream BUT that dream does nothing for the CFL AND it's fans paying for tix to see the best and their high expectations for their club.....I believe there should be some compensation however this system of ' we do our best to get the best and they take it' has gone on for so long it's just become an accepted part of our football world....We should be working on a way to change it -

Cup run in our digs in 25', I hope we throw some cash at McManis and have a real good look at some other fa talent ..We may have to bite it a bit regarding the sms..Meanwhile ..back at the ranch...where the hell is our replacement for Buck..I hope we're not waiting till a few days before fa -
Yup ...and add that to a torn up finger on his throwing hand and you get the predictable result....When certain plays don't work out (dropped pass, sack etc.) he definitey gets flustered in the 'big games'......and forces things leading to some horrendous pics ...We have managed to come out on top in playoff tilts due to some heroics by our receivers BUT then the big choke happens and unfortunately occurs in the Cup games ...Zack was certainly a more relaxed qb. in the Cups we won....and I don't know, my guess is, it seemed the pressure to be successful and keep it going appears to have been too much....I hope he can return to the 'Zack' we know as a winner in 25'..IF not we better start beating the bushes

NO way we part with Kenny....so both will look very good on the offence......it's Dalton that might be in trouble....Missing a whole year to injury can do that to a player and Schoen might be on the bubble -

Sure.................................your tears are suspect As we are hosting the Cup, the league knows we'll have at least one sell-out.......The schedule is bull$hit for sure ....have to take what your dealt -

It's starting to look like a 'rinse and repeat' look to this season...Yeah....that's all it would take seeing the punter re-upped and most likely with no competition for the position brought in....Then I think the writing will be on the wall for sure, and as it is now, it's starting to resemble the writing you find on 'subway walls' -

On Ford.....we waited for him last year until he gave up (temporarily) on his nfl dream and he returned here....Can see the same thing happening this year....He likes it in the Peg and quite frankly I don't see another club backing up the truck for him....I could be wrong but I say Ford is back in BlueNgold in 25' -

Don't like not hearing anything ..not even a credible rumour, while veryone else in the league is signing what seems to be , everyone and anyone, including the water boy...Somebody has to break the silence soon -

Nasty could be just that, labelling people he didn't like as 'vermin' BUT every once in awhile he'd come out with a nugget when describing certain teams managers as Vice Presidents of Standing Around.....Morris dug himself a hole in many teams books and their sites and was banned quite regularly.....Quite a persona was he, that usually ended up being 'persona non grata' -

So how long into the new year do we wait for the call on the new OC.....Ranks are getting thin out there as far as CFL availabilities....Would be nice to get an inkling about the direction we're heading....Jackson looks to be the best option........the wheels are slowly turning when it comes to this hire, but I guess it's more important to get it right -

Bang on.....Mike O has a lot of faith in players of his ilk.....tough as nails and 'never say quit' kinda of guys....only thing is he has a blind spot for players who have too many miles on them and seems to be expecting a 'miracle'....Biggie was a great signing for us and he has played his heart out BUT when it's time ....it's time.....I'm sure he knows/sees that, even if his head coach can't or won't -
Definitely some prospects for 25' in that bunch....I hope we're bringing a few of them in to kick their tires....orrrr something else...Instead of a cup of coffee, they'll probably require a glass of bubbly on their quick exit....Walters has to be on it.....or something

Never a big fan of Vaj....He always looks to me like an injury waiting to happen....He hasn't really won anything in the CFL ....just a middlin' quarterback....BUT they'll say in Cal. that he's the answer to all of their qb. prayers...Good luck with that... -

You're right and I was also a fan who witnessed that inglorious end....What followed wasn't pretty ....Other clubs also got a helluva lot better, after picking up players like **** Thornton off of our roster ...so the inevitable happened....Could/would the same thing repeat itself for todays club.....I guess if you believe in 'history repeats itself' , that it's possible....I just hope to hell it doesn't occur in 25'...when it's a Cup game in our backyard.... -

IF we brought in a guy like MBT what happens to Streveler.....Is he now just relegated to 3rd string behind Wilson and Dolegala......I have to agree that MBT is a guy who can sling the ball but he's kind of a 'off the wall' sort AND would he fit fifo -

I think we were due for a change ...be it management or players......The last Cup loss was a big hint that that should occur....Now how we deal with those changes will dictate what the future is for this club....immediate and long term....We need to give serious thought to who is available coaching wise right now and make our move(s)....Serious plan for FA should be paramount as well and the more immediate task is reupping the guys we want around for 25'....Lots of work for Walters and I know he's up to the tasks at hand ...I hope we're giving some real indepth thought to the quarterbacking for 25' as I think that's the key moving forward...IF a big move is being planned, I hope we make it early and that' where it all starts -

Buck over Mackysmic says the leos want a total different direction for their offence ...which was needed....Hate to lose Pierce but wish him all the success in the world except when we lock horns....Now we have to make the right move to fill oc......I hope we do a lot of heavy thinking before we make that move.....We're on the clock
