BigBlue Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I don't think I would go after Franklin; Nichols is the better deal ... he is more mature, gaining confidence and coming into his own. It was only injuries that slowed him down in Edmonton and his full talent is starting to show ... he will get much better in each of the two upcoming years ... so why even think about giving up a high first rounder for him? To see if Franklin can finally make it as a starter? he might .... he might not but there surely will be growing pains as he learns his trade. I don't have the least interest in a worn out injury plagued QB like Darian Durant .... ditto for Ricky Ray ... but I would not mind seeing Burris here as much as some of you despise leaders with big egos ... he has proven to be perhaps the best QB in the league these last two years ... he might even get us that long awaited cup ... can you spell platoon? But if he is not available I am just fine with Kevin Glenn ... the best backup in the league for many years .... and if ever necessary he can play well enough to be called upon to give us a shot at the cup ... Dominic Davis is not our QB of the future or even worth additional time to be groomed for number two ... his time is up ... Bennett has a better arm, probably better feet, youth and is well worth grooming to be a number two .... ... as for the other retreads around the league, I would only show interest if Glenn wasn't available .... they all have potential but its like slogging it out in the new product department - - long shots So lets see what our number 1 and number 5 draft picks can do for us in two years when we might be going for back to back Grey Cups Edited November 28, 2016 by BigBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 1 minute ago, Mike said: Bennett is a Rider as of a few minutes ago Say whhaaaattt? Bennett was obviously just a PR arm who we've only seen briefly in pre-season. But he also represented the only [young] QB that Walters has ever brought into the fold. Going into year 4, that position has been a real bust for our scouting department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they snuck under our noses on these guys or we simply didn't want to resign them, but it seems like we've wasted a lot of development time on positions of need for nothing.

Judd Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I thought Mayonnaise was actually one of our best receiving prospects and expected him to take a big leap this year, kinda bummed about it. Logan007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, liked both Mayo and Bennett, hurts to lose these guys to those losers. Have to wonder why the Riders are scooping Mayo when that is probably the strongest position on their roster. Perhaps they're expecting to lose Roosevelt through trade or F.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Receivers are dime a dozen, not that scared about losing a few of them. As for QB.... it's not a huge loss when we have Nicholls, Franklin and Davis in for next season IC Khari, Stickem and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 We have to watch those greasy bastages....They are scraping bottom so you just know that any player that moves, is going to be on their radar...I think this kid Bennett is going to be good for them....not as good as Franklin would be for us however ...Mayo looked promising and hate to see him go.

How is durant worn out? Same int to td ratio as nichols in the same amount of games, less picks and more yards. With a horrible OL. Hank is a nut case, and lost his job for the first half of this year and when he came in the team looked worth then with harris. Best qb in the league over the last two years? not even in the discussion. Bennett and davis as passers are very similar, but bennett has shakey at best accuracy. Not losing any sleep if we did lose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpants Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm disappointed to lose Bennet... it sounds like he has all the tools to be a good CFL QB... and at only 25 he could certainly be in line to take over in 2-3 years (assuming he actually developed properly)... but I guess if they just let him walk then there must not be much there or they are confident that Nichols, Glenn, and Davis will be back as 1-2-3 next year...

BBlink Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 After one of the most exciting grey cups in recent memory, the excitement looks to continue this offseason. It should be very interesting to see how the Bombers look to improve and how the rest of the league shapes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue204 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 kinda bummed about Bennet, but can understand why he would go to Riders, at worst he's fighting for the #2 with a legit shot at getting starting time. Not sure that will be the case here, I don't see how the bombers don't sign Nichols and Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
