Yikes given that Hurl can't play OLB, it would be Judge or Francis? Edem or MOB at S. Clark on the OL. An aging and declining Rob Bagg. Brouilette and Edem are finished... both those guys should probably be retired I was laughing about Hurl - but its must be Francis/Bartlett planned at OLB...? Zver must be feeling like an idiot for jumping ship from the Lions... rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Manziel is now even more likely to sign in the cfl which might shake a qb lose from Hamilton. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tamu-football/report-new-england-patriots-no-longer-considering-signing-johnny-manziel/ wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually I think he would supplant vernon adams. Who would be a solid vet back up for most any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess for a few weeks they could pull it off. Unless somebody like that gets cut I see us sticking with what we have untill such a point as Nichols gets a serious injury. At that point it’s worth giving up a draft pick for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk about him wanting a one-year contract so he can make a quick splash and bounce back to the NFL unencumbered doesn't show a lot of respect for the league, so he'll be easy to root against.

The funny thing is that he wouldn't even have to make a splash. If he were to come into the league on a two-year-deal and just stay out of trouble for the length of the deal, he would be only 27 years old and could easily get some NFL interest. He wouldn't even have to play. Just show that he can be part of a team and not cause trouble and controversy. But he'll never understand that.

bb1 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Frankly both Manziel and the kneeling Qb are just a circus show.... who gives a rats ass if they come up...meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manziel and Kaerpernick are entirely different cats. Manziel has shown some very troubling personal conduct issues, whereas Kaepernick took a principled stand against systemic violence perpetrated against minorities that have been around even prior to the birth of America. Whether Kaerpernick wants to come to the CFL, or if he can adapt to the Canadian game are still to be determined. So far as I know, he has no desire to come to the CFL, but he was a damned good quarterback. mbrg, WBBFanWest, Wanna-B-Fanboy and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Unger Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 The issue with Kapernick and the cfl is he made way too much money in the nfl to risk his body for 200k Canadian in the cfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I can't see the Ti-Cats seriously investing in Manziel, why mess around with Masoli, he may not be the best but there's a good chance he'll still be their QB in 5 years time. I still believe they intend to trade Manziel off to the Als at some point. Edited May 14, 2018 by Throw Long Bannatyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite probably. However, he might start missing the game and/or get bored or decide to come here and light up the league to spark interest from a desperate NFL club. Apparently there are rumours that there is an agreement by the NFL owners to freeze him out to make a point so that the hired help doesn't get uppity.

I think he could quickly turn into a guy who can start games in this league and we need a backup qb right now who could win us games. We aren't so concerned if he bounces back to the NFL in 2 years.

voodoochylde Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I've got a question: of players who have gone to the NFL but are subsequently cut by that team, how many initially sign with a team other than their original CFL squad? The only one that comes to mind right away is Henoc. I know it's anecdotal but it *feels* like the norm is for players to return to their CFL club.

Right off the top of my head, Okpalaugo signed with the Bombers after his NFL stint. voodoochylde and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the lifespan of quarterbacks, in two years, Nichols will be close to the end of his playing career, and losing two QBs at the same time would not be good. Bomber track record in finding starting QBs is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
