Making the game is championship pedigree. At that point, it’s any given Sunday. look at the Stamp and Als dynasties across the last 20ish years. Pretty poor records in the play-offs and Grey Cups compared to how many regular season victories they had. Winning the Championship is hard. Y’all unsatisfied about only winning 2 of the last 4 cups, honestly.

He was the third highest, but that was only 165k. LBs aren’t paid as much as other position groups. lol. In what world were the Als the best team in the league last year?

It is very difficult to upgrade the best team in the league.

I feel like too many people are still trapped in the drought. They don't believe that the Bombers can actually be good. Every loss is a harbinger of doom. Every interception is Zach getting too old, every sack is the OL deteriorating. Ignoring the fact that we still placed first in almost every meaningful statistical category for the past 3 seasons. We are a great team. Period. Full stop. There are areas we can improve. First glance of the off season (early signings and coaching changes) shows me we are committed to making those improvements.

I feel the opposite way you do. I'm quite excited to bring back as much of the core as we can.

I didn't really get that impression at all.

He also confirmed in that article that Stanley Bryant wants to come back.

I don't really think we can call that pricey. It's probably middle of the pack.

*I don’t recall. sorry. Typo.

I recall him being told that either, tbh. But he's under contract so he's the one who doesn't have a choice, really.

Tons of back ups want to be and feel they should be the starter. Teams don’t feel the need to trade them.

Not a controversy at all. Jones doesn’t see Ford as the starter and went out and got one.

I don't really know if the NFL thing is holding anything up. But both are probably looking for +++ dollars and Walters is doing his thing, trying to make it work. If they're too far apart and it's not going to work, I don't know if we'll necessarily hear about it until much closer to FA. I know that Darren Cameron's on vacation right now, if that means anything. Might be an off period for the office.

He's at least as athletic as Prukop; bigger, stronger, faster.

Yup.

Most posters start as lurkers until they feel comfortable enough contributing something. But if you try and share a conflicting opinion and get smashed or threatened or ridiculed, it turns people away.

There was only one person with an ego who didn’t know when to stop, imo.

From a team-building perspective, I agree with you on Schoen over Brady. But this isn't the NFL, there's no reason why Brady can't be effective for as long as Harris was. It's not like speed is his thing and losing a step will take him off the field.

Ugh. That wouldn't feel good.

You seem to be very black and white person. But this is a shades of grey decision. MOS didn't wake up one morning and fire Boudreau all on his own. But neither did Walters. They did their evaluations, had a conversation, and came to a decision. If you want to sit there and tell everyone that MOS has zero input on his own staff and I will absolutely roll my eyes at you. It is simply another case of you manipulating every comment and piece of news into the exact same criticism over and over and over.

He accomplished so much over a long career. It is very impressive. But looking season by season. He passed for over 4000 yards two times. He passed for over 30 TDs two times. Even if you add in his rushing TDs, he only crossed the 30 TD mark 4 times total. Flutie, for example played in the CFL for 8 seasons and surpassed 5000 yards and 30 TDs in 6 of them (every year he was the starter).

One crazy person doesn't really equal overrated. Playing football for that long is an accomplishment. And he had some very good seasons. And was probably the best athlete to ever play the position. I'm not going to sit here and say anything bad about him. But is he in the TOP tier? Of course not.

Well, that's just ridiculous.

That clears it up. Paul deleted the tweet so I wasn't sure if it was legit or not.

...wut?
