bullshit. Jets fans are some of the biggest homers I've ever seen. LOL, you just hate all things WInnipeg, Go check out hfboards and look at the leafs oilers canucks flames fans trade proposals then get back to me.

NameYear Team No. Yards Avg Long TD KELLY, A 2011 HAM 27 383 14.2 34 2 KELLY, A 2012 HAM 11 107 9.7 30 1 KELLY, A 2013 WPG 22 321 14.6 45 0 Career Total 60 811 13.5 45 3 those numbers don't seem to indicate to me that he makes a lot of catches or scores a lot of TDs.. Really is a receiver who has a career best year of under 400 yards and 2 TDs the best we can do? . as a 4th or 5th option? why not?

what's the over/under on rob black doing most of the redblacks games this season?

Edmonton has non import depth at receiver, not much elsewhere though. we have non import depth at receiver too, heck we could start 3 Canadians at receiver if we really wanted too and have Carter or Renaud dress as a backup. Pretty even really there, we have better non import db depth and i'd argue with the esks losing laurent that is equivalent to us losing Henoc so all in all, without the blue bashing goggles on, i'd actually say our non import depth might be a bit better than Edmonton and Ottawa for that matter. http://www.esks.com/roster/index/team/3/sort/last I don't see how that non import talent is better than ours. I just don't see it.

seems winnipeg fans tend to undervalue the players we have and over value the players we don't have. Kane is a 22 23 year old who scored 30 goals a couple years ago, prorated the lockout year would have had 30 or so and last year was injured and if not still would have had 30 more than likely. 30 goal scorers dont grow on trees. You don't give those guys up for anything less than an overpayment, if a team wants kane that bad, then they will have to offer what the jets want. If they don't, Kane stays a Jet. We don't need to trade him. He's under contract for 5 years at a very good cap hit.

Still have a week to go, i'll agree with the poster who said let's revisit this topic Wednesday next week.

LOL. he ain't coming here, if anywhere he's going back to hamilton.

I think BC has made an upgrade at QB. For sure, but Glenn is a backup QB. what if he never sees the field? sure he's an upgrade although in my opinion, i thought demarco was pretty darn good last season when lulay got hurt, but.. not exactly an upgrade that makes a difference, he might make a difference if lulay is hurt but he might not see the field at all.

You have obviously never had a concussion then. If you have, you wouldn't be making light of his situation. Concusions are serious business, they are a significant brain injury, It's not a good thing to have happen to you, for your sake, from a guy who has had 2 from playing hockey and 1 from falling off my 4 wheeler 3 years ago, I hope you never get one. I don't think you actually understand how bad they are. To this day, the smallest of headache, it bothers me badly. Light effects me pretty badly sometimes, i will wear sunglasses at times even inside because even flourescent lights bother me at times. It's not funny and I don't think you should say what you did in your last line cuz it's obvious you don't really understand what concussions actually do to you. Get one and you get the 2nd one a lot easier, get 2 and the 3rd one happens easier and so on. It's not fun. It does mess with you. Have you ever had one? I know the answer, it's no because if you did have one, your last line wouldn't be there because you would actually understand how serious they are.

Klingberg is a free agent is he not? I don't ever see him sticking with the main roster, I'd suspect if he is indeed a free agent, they let him walk.

O'shea spoke highly of stephan on the coaches show,, wouldn't be so quick to write him off even though i would sort of agree with you in thinking he should be on the bubble. Looking at the linebacking depth in terms of Non Imports Cornell, Stephan,Briggs,Aisho. 2 are rookies, of those 2 rookies, 1 is hurt.. Not much depth there. Stephan probably sticks around.

Someone who has more time and patience then i do should post who the starters and backups of other teams are.. or who are projected to be starters and backups. Little comparisons never hurt, i know our non import depth (not calling it national) is weak but compared to other teams, how bad is it, i mean i know the ticats have loaded up on non imports and calgary is solid, what about others though? Edmonton for example, BC, Ottawa, Montreal with them losing emery even.

Got a bunch of free tix through work last season, never in the same place, honestly, have to admit, the games i went too, sure most were later in the year but... everywhere we sat, thought it was a good time. Not a bad seat in the house as far as i'm concerned. I wasn't a huge fan of section S at the old stadium, i mean it was cool but, at the same time i liked watching the games too, don't get me wrong, it was fun to sit there but at times, found it a little too distracting. Seemed lots of people cared more about getting loaded then watching the game, that's fine, it's cool but... really haven't found that section yet in the new one. Odd to me that they would remove the student section at a stadium that is, well, its at a university where Yup students attend. I guess the issue i had with section S wasn't so much the younger people, that was cool, i was a younger person too, still am but... it did kind of strike me as odd when i saw some 40 and 50 year olds sitting there. I think that's what may have killed section s off, it was designed to be a student section right but... seems to me, lots of people there weren't students and well past the age of being a student. That hogan guy comes to mind. Dude was like 60.

Just my opinion but i feel as though import kickers are a dime a dozen, similar to running backs really. If you really truly wanted an import kicker to do all 3 jobs, I don't think it would be too hard to find a guy down south. (sorry not calling them nats and internationals)

Colts released Justin Hickman and rumours are he may be on his way back to Hamilton, If that is the case, Hamilton should finish first in the east by a long shot, heck even without hickman, that ticat team is stacked. East: Ticats Argos Als Redblacks

That's very much a lawless question, basically he asks statements and then asks if they agree or disagree with it, there really is no question that he is asking, he is making a general statement lol.

While i'm not a huge fan of ford, he is a serviceable running back, can get the job done, yeah i realize it means very little but he was an all star last season so it's not like we are gonna have to go with dorzon or something, we are gonna have to go with a guy who is proven to be decent, not great but decent. for a couple weeks, that should be fine.

Kelly is a proven CFL receiver, he's not great but he's not as bad as some make him out to be, he's serviceable, he catches the ball which is more than some of our rookies can say. Fact is, kelly doesn't need to put up big numbers, he won't be the number 1 or even 2nd or 3rd option, heck it's likely he might even be the 5th option on plays. Anyways though, with o'shea letting wild lead the post practice yoga, it tells me they are high on wild and like what he brings, he's a leader and he will definitely be on the team.

seems to be a lot of love for BC, who has done nothing this off season except trade for a backup qb. They lost a ton of guys.. I'm not sure i agree with BC finishing with a winning record.

Honestly tho, who gives a crap what the media thinks, the reality is the media in winnipeg like to think they actually run the teams. That's the problem here, too many media guys like to think they make the decisions, lawless is one of those guys. The jack of all trades master of none complex. Thinks they know everything about everything but in reality know very little.

Are Hall and Brohm not pretty much the same age with similar experiences in other leagues except that Hall has started more games in the CFL? That's why we're having these discussions because we have 2 backups at a similar point in their careers only one is slightly more experienced than the other. He may not be good enough to start, but I haven't seen any of the qbs behind Willy stand out more than Hall has yet. Marve looks promising but again the guy has only had a couple series haven't seen nearly enough of him in real situations to make any kind of statement on him. How has hall stood out exactly?

I feel 6-12 or 7-11 is realistic for the bombers and since i feel that's the case SASK CAL BC WPG EDM I almost put the bombers ahead of the lions too, I just don't think BC will be as good as some expect them to be. They lost a ton of talent this off season, tons.

Why are we making excuses for Max Hall? This is what I don't really understand. It's pretty apparent the guy isn't good enough to be a starter and if he's not good enough to be a starter, then why keep him around? because of his experience? from last season? when he went 1-8 as a starter? The guy isn't a spring chicken. The way I sum up Max Hall is what you see is what you get, he's not going to get better because he's been the same Max Hall his entire career, same Max Hall in Arizona is the same Max Hall in Winnipeg. Weak arm and makes really questionable decisions with the ball, he did this last year too, he did it with the cardinals, Ok qb's will make mistakes but when you are defined as being a "smart qb", How can you be when you keep making the dumb throws. Enough excuses for Hall, he isn't good enough. Bottom Line : he was the best of a bunch of legitimate crap that we had last year, This year, a rookie looks better and a guy who sat on the IR all last season looks about the same.

I'm not a big fan of answers like this, cuz fact is... Winnipeg has lots of people who move here from elsewhere too. Every city has people who move there from other places. Ottawa is no different than Winnipeg in that regards. We all have constant streams of immigrants coming to our cities to live and work. Fact is, Ottawa just isn't that big of a sports town, sens don't sell out EVER, like never, in reality their arena should be the size of ours cuz thats what the consistently draw in Kanata.

Ottawa looks good, small but good, good for Ottawa. What works for them don't necessarily work for us and vice versa. No way Hamilton is down on time, last time i checked their progress, the field wasn't even started to being laid at all, like no prep work, that in itself will take a good month or month and a half to complete. Perhaps Hamilton should look at playing in the Maritimes, Never understood why they didn't last year, it would have been a good test for that market, see if they can support a team.
