Great article.

Brilliant.

Perhaps they didn't officially offer him a contract (or maybe they did, I don't know either way), but Walters said he told Glenn they had x amount of dollars to spend on the QB position and Glenn asked to be released to see if there was a better offer.

Walters mentioned this in a recent interview regarding Glenn as well. They offered him a contract that fit with what they could afford to pay for a back up QB, but he asked to be released to see if other teams were slotting for more in that spot. It could still happen that Glenn doesn't find more money on the open market and we resign him.

You have way too many dollars tied up at the QB situation there.

He apparently played great. He's only a junior though so he's quite a ways out from being relevant to us. i can't believe how early these guys are neg listed. Makes you realize how tough it is to get quality prospects up here.

Normally teams are signing players right now using extra cap space from the previous season. It is good roster and cap management. However, the scuttlebutt this year is that we don't have any extra cap space in order to do that. So, you're right, it's not great news. It's not surprising though.

Remember that Kavis Reed and Matt Nichols spent three years together in Edmonton (Though Nichols was injured for most of it). He may be a fan.

Bauming made the point that none of SAM/Dimeback's were voted as All Stars.

In what sense?

Who didn't spend the 90's watching the Simpsons?

It was a reference to the Simpsons, when Homer bought a gun and Marge was giving him a hard time about it. It was a hilarious post, but not one that was disagreeing with you.

There's also only one team that wins the Grey Cup. And the team that did depended greatly on their superb NI receiver.

He's a Rider now.

That also sucks. Not sure if they snuck under our noses on these guys or we simply didn't want to resign them, but it seems like we've wasted a lot of development time on positions of need for nothing.

Say whhaaaattt? Bennett was obviously just a PR arm who we've only seen briefly in pre-season. But he also represented the only [young] QB that Walters has ever brought into the fold. Going into year 4, that position has been a real bust for our scouting department.

When I hear "dynasty", I'm not looking back 20 years, more to the start of Hufnagel's regime. They have never won less than 10 games since 2008, appearing in 4 Grey Cups, winning 3 of them.

Absolutely, but to Noeller's point, he's not getting much slack because of a growing 'reputation'. I did see at least one Calgary media member stick up for him though, saying there wasn't anyone better to work with.

I don't anticipate him making an NFL attempt, if he had those aspirations he wouldn't have signed his most recent deal. as for the records, he's certainly in the right situation to make it happen. The only issue is staying healthy and playing for 10+ additional seasons while not dropping off and also having the occasional "wow" season.

Actually, he kind of admitted to getting into coaching decisions. He said that afterwards he asks MOS was his thinking was behind certain decisions.

Love listening to Walters pressers though. He's always upfront about what he knows and gives very interesting interviews l.

Because he doesn't have an agent and wants to, like with all other things, keep his cards close to his chest?

Anthony Malbrough and Kelly Malveaux. I had very high hopes we were going to make it to the Grey Cup that year. And then Bishop comes in and completely crushes my dreams.

Yes. My expectations have been raised. Third is no longer enough to keep the rabbles at bay.

The season series counts in a situation where you tie a team, such as if we end up tied with the Lions. We won the season series, therefore we finish ahead of them in the standings. In a three-way tie, it's cumulative. For example, if Winnipeg, BC, and Edmonton all end up tied with 11 wins. Our record in the cumulative season series would be 3-2 (Our record vs BC and Edmonton combined). Whereas BC's record would be 1-3, and Edmonton's would be 3-2. After that, I believe it goes to points.
