Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
Calvillo's greatest strength was longevity and the fact that he was so good so late in his career... but I'd agree that prime Ricky >> prime Calvillo

2026 Bombers Season
love this, thanks!... but it does bug me to see Wilson listed at WIL with 3 better options listed behind him...

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
funny you mention this... I saw something on social media saying, "if you could add any Bomber player from any generation to today's team, who would it be?".... I'm immediately eliminating anyone prior to 2000 cuz the game was different (Walby and Cameron maybe being some of the exceptions)... but my first thought was prime Doug Brown... then I had an internal debate between prime Brown and prime Milt... both would absolutely make this team unbeatable

Love this... his last year or two wasn't all that memorable... but the first 3/4 seasons he played here were absolutely epic... he was a huge part of the turnaround and ending the championship drought... Congrats Biggie!

I think we all agree these mocks are usually terribly inaccurate... but I'll take this and even Hodge's mocks.... because, at the very least, it does provide some insight into the prospects at this years' draft... also, agree that any content is good content at this time of year...

get this AI crap outta here! 😁 My concern about the glut of OL talent we have now is where Bryant fits in... he's the goat and still has game left... but assuming we go 3 Imp on the OL... if we started Broxton-Venderpool-Eli-Nefueld-Randolph.... who does Bryant replace that makes the group better?... he's behind Broxton at this stage of his career... is he an improvement on Vandy or Randolph at a position he's never played?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Bombers took a futures pick with 20 or 24... that's the range you take a "realistic" flier (like Elgersma)... especially with 9 total picks this year... round 6/7 is for the hail mary future pick... like Gio Manu

I agree... he's a guy I wouldn't mind moving on from... but nothing wrong with bringing back a reliable vet and special teams ace... as long as he never sees the field on D

Well this is a confusing one... I feel the same way as when we re-signed Wilson... I like the player, but I don't see the fit and this is what makes it even more confusing... JSK is a better WIL... Ayers is a better teamer.... Woodbey is a better "utility" player... Jones still stays at MLB... Shay and Smith need to start getting some playing time... why is Wilson here??

according to the Bombers site... the only DL at 6'7 is Willie... unless there are some guys not listed yet... are you reinventing the wheel... or just making the three LB positions the way they were 15 years ago? I hate to be a stickler... but this is clearly a top 7 😉 I'll go: Stan, Biggie, Collaros, Harris, Yoshi... had to make a few tough decisions to follow the rules (Jeffcoat and Willie, for example)...

I know you mentioned Ottawa but didn't really get into details... they had a really nice FA period adding Allen, Reavis, Eberhardt... but their biggest addition was getting Dinwiddie

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
I highly doubt the Bombers would do this... but I would drop Jones and Wilson in a heartbeat if we had a chance to sign McManis... I'd start McManis at MLB and Ayers at WIL... the money would be close to even that way and the production would probably be better

totally agree that Stan is a legend and he'll likely play... but he's a downgrade from Broxton at LT... switching to RT, I'd be hard pressed to think he'd be better than Randolph... and he's never played inside, so likely a downgrade from Vanderpool... I still think he'll play... I'm just interested to see how it shakes out... for the record (I haven't purchased it yet) Bryant #66 is going to be my next jersey, if you're questioning how I feel about the GOAT... 😁

I genuinely wonder about where Big Stan fits in... if you consider a potential starting line up of Broxton-Vanderpool-Eli-Paddy-Randolph.... where does Stan play that makes this group better?... Could he dress as a DI and play TE on 6-man sets?.... that would be an easy way to count him as a DA
