Taynted_Fayth Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Are there even any quality OL in FA the riders could over spend on that could fix their tattered line? If they in fact plan to start any of their QBs currently on roster I'd simply stack the box and bring the house all day long.

Many Rider fans are trying to equate Glenn and Durant in terms of effectiveness. Knowledgeable fans and fans who don't have their heads up Chris Jones's ass know this notion is laughable.

He won the Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award in 2016 so he is well worth pursuing. Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 That contract tells you Glenn is the starter. No reason to hand him a large bonus and base salary to mentor. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and see. Instead, they get Glenn, who, for the price, is serviceable. And no one complains when they insert their 'next' QB in part way through the year. Less upfront money and an easy out. If you're determined NOT to go forward with Durant, Glenn is a reasonable Band-Aid solution (at a low cost). You're not going to pay Glenn's eventual replacement very much anyhow.

peggars Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 now that they have to count their 50 man PR salaries to the cap since they got busted last year, it helps to find savings in your starting QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluchk Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Carter Roosevelt Collins Holley Bagg/Demski That is a good set of receivers. I hope they re-sign Artemi Edwards, if not he would be a good fit for the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant is nowhere close to the level Glenn is now. Durant was scapegoated for a 5 win season and Jones and his fans are using a bad season as a justification despite injuries being the number one excuse prior to the contract standoff. Glenn stopped being a viable starting QB two years ago. But when one has invested so much mental energy in defending Jones that reality has to be ignored.

Your top end is very good (Carter/Roosevelt) after that it is pretty average. You guys grossly over rate Holley/Collins/Bagg. I definitely think that as a whole our receiving corps is better. You guys have a couple better players but we have the definitive edge overall. Edited January 26, 2017 by gcn11 Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the talent is the primary issue here, it's more when the going gets tough and based on Jones and Carter's demonstrated behaviour over time, how will that play out between them and with other Sask players? From a HardCore Blue Bomber fan's point of view, I hope it plays out where I'll feel the need to get me some popcorn. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess I disagree. Bagg sure, he's meh, however, I think you underestimate Holley and Collins. They are great receivers who both had decent 1st years with the Riders.

That's why it's an average receiving corps, that's what average means. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 both holley and collins put up pretty average numbers considering who they had throwing them the ball, i expect them to be alot lower #s with a worse QB and then bulk of the throws going to Carter/Roosevelt, assuming Roosevelt is still with the team, and/or healthy and carter isnt suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
