As per team.

Gurley had to reach out to the bombers, Walters asleep at the wheel AGAIN! 

Who says the Bombers weren't one of the teams who were initially in on him?  Reads to me like he considered his options (including the Bombers) then called them back with his interest.

Or the Bombers provided the best option.   Whatever, guy is signed.

I think that was a joke for all the poop throwers that throw a handful whenever anything happens.

I'm tired of the Bombers taking so long to make these moves.  This should have been done YESTERDAY.

Don't you think it's more like people, seeing a jewel just hanging there to be picked by someone, getting very anxious and hoping to speed up the process by expressing their concerns? 

It's like the kids on the way to the fair asking every five minutes:"Are we there yet?"

I don't care if we win or lose Friday now, just want to see Gurley in the lineup sometime down the stretch, woo hoo!

I think Friday will be more winnable if the latest jewel is in the line up. 

The Manny Show vs The Gurley Show

even if you only have a limited route tree for him against BC i think he would still be very valuable in the red zone

It was just twittered out by Darrin B that the Bombers did enough investigation on why Gurley was released that they are comfortable in signing him. Think that helps answer my question around how this will affect team chemistry.

There is a zero percent chance the bombers win this Friday

They have to win with or without Gurley as he will not be in the lineup.  This game sets the tone for the rest of the season, if they don't get strong performances out of all 3 teams they will be back-sliding into the playoffs.

I guarantee we won't lose on Friday. Saturday, on the other hand, is debatable.

I see we took the inverse approach to this joke.

not only tall but at 230 he's a big boy. should be helpful with all the smurfs we have already

This is a very good signing for the Bombers. Gives us size & speed with our receiving corps. We needed this signing just to keep up with Edmonton & BC.

I'm confused if people are talking about NEXT Friday night in BC........or just misinformed about this week......

Now for another Rod Black lame brain prediction. Rod sez, "Gurley will be suited up for the Big Blue in the last half of the rubber match with the lions".  Because rod Black loves to hear his own voice he adds, "not only will the stud Gurley suit up for the Big Blue in just over a week, bomber fans will be will again be ecstatic to learn that Darvin Adams is now healthy and ready to suit up as well as Gurley. The excitement is in the air as Bombers fans will be more than overjoyed with anticipation in watching Bernie Nichols spread the ball amongst all the high skilled players on offence. The Bomber faithful will be beyond the moon speculating how far the ball will be jammed down the Leo's throat".
