Oh great, here comes the interview that no one asked for.

They have one thing going for them, lol.

Whoopsies.

There are so many of these floating around and at least half of people reading them take it at face value.

Speak of the the devil

I don’t get what you mean by this.

Oh, Leggs….

Bailey - he's got the Brown connection.

For sure. A home grown QB? It's what the people have been asking for...for decades, seemingly. Imagining a QB stringing together a 10 year career, breaking Brock's career numbers. Throwing a couple of championships runs together. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Only way it would happen is if we repeat 2019. Zach is injured to the point where he will never be the same and Dru takes us to a Grey Cup win. The most likely scenario this year is Zach comes back in short order, takes us to a Grey Cup win, and Dru moves onto a new team next season (Perhaps with Buck as his head coach) - hopefully to great success. I know I'll be cheering for him.

I really can't see him get another NFL shot after this, The injury buy-out seems like the end of the road.

How many back-ups have you seen start with a couple 300 yard games and fall flat on their face when given the starting role? You really want to argue the side that keeping our 2-time MOP is to the detriment of the team?

I'm not trading anyone or anything for draft picks.

The mental gymnastics they had to do to avoid picking Bombers was comical. We’re going to pick Kelly over Collaros because he had a big game last week, but we’re going to pick Betts over Jefferson even though he’s been held sackless over the past 3 weeks.

I’m not sure we needed the benefit of hindsight for those moves.

Still can't get over cutting Kevin Glenn. I know people have strong feelings about the guy, but just getting rid of a starting QB for nothing is just crazy.

So, every game? Sounds like there might be dancing in football.

Last thing I'll say is no one could have done anything from an attendance/marketing/financial point of view with the football team being as bad as it is. The board made a choice to tie themselves to Chris Jones before hiring a president. That whole thing was a gimmick available to a small number of seats. I don't think it's costing them enough money to fire someone.

Sounds like you're buying into the propaganda, imo. The board has multiple years of fishyness behind them that predates Cui. They've backed themselves into a corner with Jones and are unable to fire him but someone had to be the sacrificial lamb.

The only thing I dislike are the curmudgeons who complain about players having fun on the field. Do we want the NFL-style flags for celebrations? Let them celebrate, let them choreograph dances. let them hide markers and phones in the goal posts (Chad Johnson reference).

If this were true, it wouldn't be tied to former staff. The cap was to limit real, total dollars; not just the number of staff or year to year spending.

Well, his job wasn't on the football side, so maybe people shouldn't blame him for their continued failures.

I think we have to do that if Zach is out. Need to roster 3, right?

No, it just means the board isn't capable of knowing whether he was or was not doing a good job. I'm also convinced this is Cui walking away, not getting fired.

The Hardrick Hop is one of the best things to see as a home fan. Let the boys have fun.
