Bear Woods was cut by the Als. Wondering if a 204 number will be showing up on his call display soon?

Drew Willy back to Rider ville it will be inevitable

I really hope so. He's got more experience than bridge and williams (or heaps if he ever makes his way back) but from a bomber POV i'd like to have ol limp willy behind the riders center

For the Argos 

Honest to goodness feel AWFUL for DW... Man that sucks. Top of the mountain to the very bottom.

Blimey, , the Jones apologists qb PR offensive is flaming out fast. Even the Bennett hype thread was removed. The whole theory of a quick Jones-led turnaround now rests squarely on Glenn. Fascinating to see the spin on this going forward

You must understand....that The Plan is not merely static.....but flexible and organic.  It can change shape and be proclaimed in a multitude of tongues.....

Willy was/is a good guy but got beaten up too many times and didn't have the ego-strength to rebound.

I got nothing against Willy the person, seemed like a good kid so definitely feel for the guy. But as a football player,  he was given more then enough chances to get his game back in order and it never did, so such is life.  Plus he wears 2 gloves... weirdo

I feel bad for DW.

So we got an all-star HB (Heath) + a potential starting NI DL (Faith) and the Argos third rounder for a guy who last less than half a season. GMs are going to start not answering Walters calls.

That Willy trade was a total fleece job.

wasn't there something to that trade, like Barker didn't want to give up heath initially and wanted to offer up someone else, but Walters ended up getting him anyways? 

Willy would be the best QB on the Riders.

Glenn: backup in the twilight of his career now has to be the saviour of Canadas Team. Unbelievable

Willy would have severe PTSD flashbacks playing behind that OL.

Maybe for a game, but the shine always seemed to come off him gradually until an inevitable injury.  Right now Riders OL might be worse then our was in 2014 and 2015

That might be the end of Willy's CFL career. Thanks for all the help, Willy.

Bomber QB's have played behind bad lines for years. there was a time when Khari got beat up.  Buck got about a second and a half before he got snowed under. Willy and the horrendous beating he took.

Finally changed that under Walters.

Worth hiring him for that alone. I hated watching those beatings.

Argos release Drew Willy. No real surprise there.

yeah when they didnt play him the 2nd game of the pre season i think the writing was on the wall. Fajardo takes one big step forward. I wonder if willy goes back to sask...

QFT. The early days of khari with dave mudge etc was a good line. But I think this OL is the best weve had since idk maybe our last GC?

Rwabukamba, Wayne Moore, D'Aguilar, Lalama, Ngoyi all guys I could see the Bombers having interest in for a PR spot sometime soon.

He never was a CFL calibre QB. A few wins early wins in 2015 were all due to defence and special teams scoring.

MOS and Walters arrogantly kept him around. Same arrogance looks to be giving us Hurl at MLB.

We have that already with Glenn

Too bad about Vince....with copious amounts of grooming, coaching, encouragement and time......Riders could of eventually had a fringe #3 QB, there

Nope.  Jones tried that and he still couldn't survive camp

Sort of sad in a way.  A lot of potential beaten into the turf...

 

He wasn't ready to be a starter at that time. He should have stayed in sask longer. His career is over.

I wouldn't want either, but there is a faint hope Willy could rebound. He really didn't get much of a chance in TO, or much to work with when he did - I believe they just jettisoned their either receiving core prior to him getting playing time - With glenn tho at 38 I think that dog's learned all the tricks he ever will and the outcome will be pretty predictable
