With Rainey and Paredes, Medlock might not even make it out of the west, but if he does, I can't see anyone from the east beating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Medlock would be our MOP......if it was MVP, then I get Nichols, 'cause QB is everything in the CFL......but it's Outstanding.....and that's Medlock in a runaway.

Nash00 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Medlock, Loffler and Leggett all have legit shots at winning their awards. If Harris had stayed healthy he would have a shot at the MOC too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medlock beats Parades in nearly every way and is perfect on converts, while Parades has missed 7 of them. Rainey's a wild card but I don't think he has been as consistent as Medlock.

Agreed, Nichols as MOP is a bit of a head-scratcher to me. I'm not even convinced he's our MVP. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 How would Fantuz ever be a justifiable choice over E-Jax for Eastern MOP? 88 catches, 1225 yards, 10 touchdowns 101 catches, 1059 yards, 5 touchdowns I know who I'm taking. I mean no offense to Fantuz, but even Nik Lewis is having a more productive year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Blue Bomber Talk @BlueBomberTalk The #Stamps should win 4 league awards: MOP - Mitchell, CDN - Messam, OL - Dennis & MOR - Daniels. Rest of #CFL competing for remaining 2. Blue Bomber Talk @BlueBomberTalk Hughes should be in the running for MODP, too. #Stamps will clean up on awards night. #CFL 4m Edited November 2, 2016 by Noeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainey's the best returner in the league IMO, so it's big returns vs great consistency. Voters might go with the more exciting guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Could also put Finch ahead of Rainey. Rainey in third in the league in both punt and kick return average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty though, how could you argue it would NOT be a West division sweep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Harris shoulda been the bombers MOP. This team doesn't do **** without him rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Nichols is a nice story but not the team MOP. I'd say Harris but honestly you could put Medlock and Leggett ahead of him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Glad to see Jennings got the team nod from the Lions. He's going to lose out to the robot from Calgary, but he was sure exciting to watch this year, and if he tidies up his game he's a surefire future MOP. Great young QB, love to see those guys coming into the league. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyin' guy Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Medlock was a money signing. Still laughing at a certain RF Administrator for dumping on the BB posters there for that signing. Leggett has a legit shot.

If that was true, sask should have been a lot better. mtl should have been better before going young at qb, ham should be in the basement, and edm should be 2nd in the league not 4th.
