If being boastful is the worst thing you can say about Duron, he must be a pretty good guy. I say this for Duron. I haven't heard him say anything about other teams, other players. He hasn't slammed Montreal, he hasn't said anything about any other players that I've heard. he doesn't get into twitter arguments with other players, such as we've seen from other players. anyway I'm glad he's in the league, the catch he made was seen all over North America, drawing attention to the CFL. I guess his talking just doesn't bother me. Who cares, what difference does it make? I don't see the guy quitting on the field, I don't see him being afraid of contact, I see him making tough catches in traffic. I like watching him play. That's what matters.

Booch Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Making a statement like that is for lack of better description just selfish and all about him...not the team. Trying to do something stupid like that for the sake of boosting how people view you and risking not making a score or a positive play for your team is pretty sad....more so pathetic When I played and guys were off on their own tangents caring more about themselves and stats/accomplishments they would be pulled aside and in house disciplined by teamates, if not benched by the coach. And yeah he does quit, sulk and act like a spoiled kid when things don't go his way, or "he" feels he isn't being the focus of the offence...it has been seen in his history, and he has caused issues before, and I highly doubt he has grown up yet. Just watch his demeanor on the sidelines and when moping around the bench this year and last when things aren't going good, compared to his one moment in the sun this year so far..night and day.....he's not a good teamate regardless of what he can bring to the filed and it has been publically stated may times...Pretty sad when even a JUCO player calls him out for being trash and worst teamate ever blue_gold_84, SPuDS, rebusrankin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like watching him play. That's what matters. I take it you've only watched his one great game this season, then. His other four games ranged from good (week 2, 3) to garbage (week 1, 5). That's his track record in the CFL: string together a good game or two and then disappear for a bunch. That's basically quitting on the field personified.

Mr Dee Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I don't see the relationship between what Duron Carter said, and the the 'twisting' of what he said into sensationalism. It was Rider mega fan Rod Pedersen who used those exact words. He is their media. And how is it what he said not 'sensational'? For Carter to even bring up that boast reeks of immaturity. It's simply not professional. No, Carter brings whatever heat that comes his way onto himself. Trouble is, he can't always handle it... rebusrankin, blue_gold_84 and SPuDS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold_Palmer Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I really hope Duron Carter is open in the end zone and tries to catch it from behind the back and drops it and costs the Riders a chance at winning the game. That would be poetic justice. Noeller, blue_gold_84, CodyT and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Tony Stark put a "training wheels" protocol on Duron's twitter to limit what he can and can't do until he shows some maturity for longer then 1 game Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it however, seems as though he's going to wrong direction (NFL to NCAA to HS). Will be interesting to see what control he actually gets with Austin still as the main HC Edited August 2, 2017 by Taynted_Fayth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 It's bad enough we have one Jones in the league as HC, now we purportedly have another one on the way. It's gonna be hard to keep up with these guys.. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I wonder if the Bailey signing is a precursor to the Riders starting 2 Canadian receivers? SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 June Jones seems like a bit of a reach. At 64 he is no spring chicken to be a long term solution, hasn't played in the CFL for 35 years (never coached), I'm interested in hearing the reasoning behind it. By comparison to other coaches in the league; Wally Buono: 67 yrs old Marc Trestman: 61 yrs old Jacques Chapdelaine: 55 yrs old Kent Austin: 54 yrs old Chris Jones: 50 yrs old Mike Oshea: 46 yrs old Rick Campbell 46 yrs old Dave Dickenson: 44 yrs old Jason Maas: 41 yrs old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL shot.. then came back and hasn't been a fixture anywhere.. health? not committed enough? very odd how hes bounced around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they are looking to punt Austin and replace him with June at this moment.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 So Hamilton hires June Jones. Fun Fact: Reinbold coached under Jones at Hawaii and SMU. Thus crazy theory of the day: They hired Jones as a precursor to firing Austin. Reinbold becomes Head Coach with June Jones as his OC.
