17to85 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 You know what, I would agree that the Riders probably aren't the worst team in the league, trouble is they don't play in the east so getting their wins is harder when you're still looking like the worst western team on paper.

I get this is a Bombers forum and all, and every fan base likes to bash one another. But the Bombers showed a small glimpse of hope last year. Their record was mediocre at best. Its been so long since the Bombers fan base has won a Grey Cup that you fans believe you have the best team in the west. But in reality all it takes is for Matt N to go down and the Bombers are a bottom feeder team. Every year the discussion is up for debate on who is the worst team in the league is and frankly I don't think it's the Bombers or the Riders. I've attended alot of the riders training camps this year and theee are alot of puzzle pieces that were found this year. It's a much better Riders team than last season, much better. I know Glenn is old but he still looks better than Durant. I think that Bennett could be an exciting kid to watch. Im shocked the Bombers didnt even consider him at 3. I'm sure the Bombers have also gotten better this year. Neither one of these things are true.

The reality is the same for pretty much every team in the CFL: lose your starting QB and your chances of being successful decrease dramatically. I'll refrain from taking childish digs at your precious team, because then I'd be no better than you. You keep using your training camp to justify your homer bias. To suggest the Riders are better than last season despite having not even played a single game yet is hilarious. And then you follow it up by saying Glenn looks better than Durant. Comical. FTR: the Riders were the worst team in the CFL last year. And the year before. There is no debate on that.

BigBlue Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 In spite of losing both Glenn & Bennett to the roughies I like our QBing better this year than what we ended with last year ... I guess we will see The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season was the Bombers first season over .500 in five years. At least the Riders have won a championship in that time. What does that have to do with the Riders? I'm well aware of our problems.

17to85 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hey I'll bet Glenn looks great in training camp, no fear of getting hit in camp, but once people start getting some licks on him he'll do his usual KG5 panic move. The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about Bennett now??? I want to see if Davis and Apodaca can take the next step up the ladder. The concept of QB progression in Wpg. has been lost in the wilderness for so many years now, I want to see if it still exists....kind of like Bigfoot. Hopefully Nichols is deadly this year and O'Shea can relax enough to give Davis some serious show-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice to see the team take the next and find ways to give the backups time to play in live games. We haven't seen the Bombers be on the good end of garbage time in ages.

Check out this cfl article about the league's most dangerous pass rushers: Quote The usual suspects are present when we talk about the CFL’s most dangerous pass rushers. Charleston Hughes and John Bowman are the CFL’s active career sack-leaders and moving up the charts fast following successful 2016 campaigns, while John Chick and Jamaal Westerman are sure to be in the discussion. But this off-season, when CFL.ca polled some of the league’s top stars on the topic, new names have emerged. Shawn Lemon, Willie Jefferson and Gabriel Knapton earned plenty of accolades from their peers and all three should contend for the sack title this season. Meanwhile, Tristan Okpalaugo is also back in the picture after signing with the Bombers this off-season from the NFL. https://www.cfl.ca/2017/06/04/qbs-beware-new-contenders-ready-chase-sack-title/ Only two teams have both their def ends chosen: Montreal (Bowman and Knapton) and us.

Yes the passport is handy but doesnt he still have to actually perform when he plays ? And Riders gave up a starting receiver for that? A starter on your team probably but not ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBird Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 We won't know how good the Riders will be until Jones sets the team: The guy in the middle goes to the left The guy on the left goes to the back The guy in the back goes to the right And the guy at the right just got fired.
