iso_55 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Rider fan angst over this move. The honeymoon with Jones is definitely over. Dawgmanistan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'd take him over Davis/Mayo/Adams for sure, but definitely not over any of our core guys. I guess it depends on the extent of the injury to Darvin Adams, but if Dress & Smith are back soon I don't see the need. HardCoreBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just came off the IR yesterday iirc, they must have been waiting for that to release him. Either that, or maybe he was told he wasn't going back in as a starter right away and he was having none of that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyDogHasScheifeles Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 He might be worth picking up just for the knowledge of the Riders playbook alone. I started laughing a little while typing those words but then I remembered how poorly we fair in the back to back vs the Riders. Seriously sign this guy up.

Bigblue204 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I honestly don't think he plays in the CFL again. Decent receiver but can't stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyDogHasScheifeles Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 "Chiles joined the Riders as a free agent back in Feburary but only saw action in three of the Riders’ eight games this season, collecting 135 yards and 3 touchdowns on 10 receptions." Cfl.ca Our receiver lineup of Denmark Smith and Dressler are to much of the samething and many here already agreed one played might get moved soon. Chiles makes sense, with Darvin out for a few more weeks, we could use a burner on the field and someone taller than 5 ft 9. Walters has publicly acknowledged import reciever needs an upgrade. If Chiles is willing to play at a reasonable cost he is a Bomber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd like that size to stay on the field and not spend the majority of his time in the tub like Chiles has. Our scouts have found some decent rec who have put up better #'s than him.

Atomic Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 If you can get him at league minimum, sure. But the latest depth chart has Mayo at WR and I'm pretty intrigued to see what he can do there. May not be any need for Chiles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to give Davis, Mayo, Shepherd, K. Adams and McDuffie more time to establish themselves over picking up Chiles. It's time for the Bombers to jump off the green re-tread carousel.

Noeller Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 the thing is, they've all taken turns showing flashes this year.....it's almost like it's they're rookies or something.

I'd argue that none of them have shown anything at all really - Mayo had the decent game against Calgary when we got **** kicked. But aside from that? Nothing at all. There's a reason that they all keep coming in and out of the lineup, none of them have really played good enough to deserve a spot. The good news is, once all of our guys are healthy we won't have to play any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
