Tehedra Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I know I mean he was a good receiver that our team picked up; it doesn't make sense; he didn't even get a chance to do returns or anything which is something he had also done in college ball.... he will definitely land on another team unless there is something else going on?

voodoochylde Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 This is more than a little surprising to me. I know Flanders being on the field essentially limits our ability to put Thorpe on the game day roster but he (Thorpe) had tools. Fought hard for yards, was willing to get dirty .. blue_gold_84 and Fred C Dobbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 He must have asked for his release if he wasn't going to be on the game day roster. I don't see how else this makes sense. blue_gold_84, Rod Black, SPuDS and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold_Palmer Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 He probably got tired of playing musical chairs in the line up. He probably should/could get another chance on another CFL roster. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Would he have asked for his release not wanting to be on the PR? shadybob, SPuDS and The Classic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how else this makes sense. Just now, Rich said: Would he have asked for his release not wanting to be on the PR? This is the only thing that makes sense... even then, my reaction would be "good point, Lankford can sit".... but then again, I never liked taking Thorpe out of the line up in the first place...

M.O.A.B. Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Unless Thorpe asked for his release, this is a move from the Bombers: While the competitions are loading up for the playoff push, the Bombers is quite the opposite. What if we suffer injuries the next game, you ended up picking up a new player that need to learn Lapos system. Can we hide Thorpe, who showed very much promise and is a better talent than Washington, in the 6-game IR? Granted, the cut need to be made, why not make it earlier in the week rather than the last day of practice when majority of the game plan has been made?

JuranBoldenRules Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hoping it's a hang around town re-sign next week kind of move. But he would be a nice add for a team like BC or Calgary who are somewhat lacking in possession YAC guys. Rod Black, Mark F and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadybob Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Why cut Thorpe over Washington, makes no sense. He must have asked for his release. SPuDS and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Black Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Maybe Thorpe was believing all the hype on his abilities over Lankford on this board and decided to move on.

Goalie Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Maybe like Blaszko he will be back in a week or 2 or maybe he didnt like the cold? I dunno. Odd move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I hope there is a plan B should one of our import receivers go down. This is a puzzlement and it would be nice if the Bombers cared enough to tell us fans what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash00 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 One of two things has to be true. Either he asked for his release and it was granted or they are bringing in someone else to replace him on the roster that they feel is better (Eric Rogers please and thank you). I don't want to believe that they feel L'Damian Washington is a better player than Thorpe, that would make zero sense and is depressing to think about. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Black Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 https://mobile.twitter.com/ThorpeTj?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author According to TJ Thorpe twitter feed, he's either pissed off that no one gave him dryer sheets three days ago, or he feels like a caged bird.

Stickem Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 IF he comes back to lay a haunting on us I'm going to be totally pi$$ed off....I hope this is just a temp. move and he hangs around town....This is a head scratcher or there's another move afoot...Better be a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty30 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I was expecting additions to the team not deletions. The Bombers are doing the exact opposite of the other teams. Got to say that I'm getting pretty nervous SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Wasn't it Walters a few years ago that preached that you are always looking to improve, even by small increments, because it all adds up? Other teams gearing up for the playoffs appear to be subscribing to this. The Bombers? Edited September 20, 2017 by Super Duper Negatron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
