WPG. Own thread coming soon.

CAL . How much do you tinker if at all? But somethin aint right here

EDM. Lots of room for improvement.  Reilly another year older

SSK. Canadas team has lots of FAs, Carter leaving. Huge question marks at QB

BC. Lots of smoke but less flame than grease fire in MTL. Whole new coaching staff at least

TOR. Turning point to build on or just a nice story like OTT last year?

HAM. Soap opera . Key FAs looming. Collaros. Manziel thing.

OTT.  Trending down

MTL. Grease fire until further notice.

Does Durant still think hes a starter? Id take him for depth but not if hes still a primmadonna

Yeah, I would only want him if he knows his role is back-up and he has no illusions that he's competing to be a starter.

Neither of these have shown that they are any better than Drew Willy, so what would be the wisdom in retaining either of them? I say we give Durant a decent, but not exorbitant offer and bring in a couple-three promising rookies.

They may not have shown much, but they know Lapos system better. I’m far from satisfied with either, but Durant showed he is done. I agree our scouts need to be finding 2or 3 guys that have the potential to take over for Nicol’s in the next couple years.  If you let both Davis a Lefevour go and Nicol’s goes down you’re screwed.

To me, it doesn't matter worth a damn if Davis and LeFevour "know" LaPolice's system- they have to go onto the field and execute. They didn't.

Maybe - I just never recall Rutley playing a full season...

Cause he never has. If Sutton has been able to play, he usually starts over him.

Sutton is 36, which is ancient for a RB, how hard could it be to replace him with a younger and cheaper RB?  Somebody needs to take the job of building up a football team seriously in Montreal.

I'm sure Rutley was injured last year...  I thought he sat out most of the season

And no way Sutton is 36 years old...  30 maybe

Nice arm strength - sounds like a very good CFL prospect, hope he's back for camp

You're right, I was thinking of Logan.  Same problem, different position.

Good arm and size, seems to ad lib well, accurate and protects the ball- what's not to like?

glad he landed on his feet.. thought he was a decent enough coach..

 

how odd is it to see our outcasts landing work elsewhere now though?  Am I in the twilight zone!?

Our castoffs always landed on their feet... Nelson, Creehan, DelMonaco, Howell...

I’m pretty sure Durant hasn’t been lighting things up either. Yes he won more games last season than Davis and Lefevour... A whopping three wins.  IMO all 3 are pretty meh. I’m sure better options will present.

The difference to me is that Durant, although well-paid,  played for a team that was fortunate to win any games at all, what with the gong show going on in Montreal. Davis and LeFevour did not have that millstone around their necks.  If the Bombers come up with a really promising quarterback prospect and he beats out Durant or anyone else in training camp, so be it. Our track record of recruiting finding quarterbacks over the past oh, 20 years, does not inspire confidence.

Ya it would be nice if the club’s scouting staff could bring in a half decent up-and-comer that we could get excited about.  Hopefully the clubs biggest signing of the off season is  Ryan Rigmaiden.

You have to get over this. We aren't the same bad football team we were a few years ago. The 2018 Alouettes are the Bombers of 2013.

Putting together a pretty nice staff in Montreal.  Sherman is no dummy.

He never wore a Redbkacks either, but he was both their property for a time.  Argos might only have been seconds but he was traded there. 

Oh I know...

 

 

But it just makes me feel better to say it.

Seatlle hired 2 coaches that failed miserably....   Trestman may get the HC job in 2019 at this rate!

He may, but I doubt that he leaves unless he wins a GC.

Why do I need to get over that? Its a pretty freakin' awesome thing to be where we are now versus where we were, No?
