The first Preseason game is May 31 .... the regular season starts June 14 ... everything will start to move very quickly now .... I am not used to the CFL in May  but you know what? I am very glad for it

Thank you Mr Ambroise but please be advised I still want a November Grey Cup ... mid November is Ok but no sooner

Stanley Cup and Grey Cup in the same year ... it would probably kill me !

I’d rather see the Bombers sign Drew Tate out of retirement than trade away any assets for someone else’s back up. There isn’t a back up on any of the other teams that is far and away better than anything the club already has. Why give away a pick or player for a qb that may end up being the third stringer here. The rest of the Offence needs to step up.

Why? So when he gets hurt Streveler plays? Why not give the kid a chance. Hes proven about as much as any backup in the league minus glenn. 

Pre workout supplement...a protein supplement ...branch chain amino acids (bcaa)

Basically just post and pre workout supplementation to maximize training..I use a couple of them

Rivalus being the brand

Our 2 2019 1st Round pIcks for Ray or Franklin . 

This I would consider. Then again, I'd take Burris out of retirement.

Will these drugs fix Nichols?

The only guys with CFL experience that may get cut would be one of Adams or get this.... Drew Willy

No thanks to Burris.

So...  has Nichols injury been confirmed or are we at six pages of panic and fantasy trades just on spec?

No confirmation. Wyman tweeted that the club's initial fear was ACL but that's not a diagnosis or a confirmation imo. Oh wait, old GB is on the other site John Hodgeing it and saying the initial diagnosis is acl.

Fk sakes.

Streveler - #1

Trade Ekakitie and our 1st for Bridge - #2

Ross - #3

In that order...

The ONLY upside is that Durant now realizes that he would have been a Day 1 starter...

Not drugs...just over counter regular supplements..

Jones won't help us. We need Adams. But the Ti Cats will make us pay.

Bridge is better than Adams...

And Ekakitie and a 1st is the definition of 'Jones not helping us'...  Bridge would have been cut until Nichols was injured

YEAH LOSE the Adams talk..we have better already here

How can we lose the Adams talk when he has more experience than the guys we have now? Plus #3 on the Ti Cats depth chart.

Have no idea how you came up with that theory.

I have no idea how you came up with the idea to sign a QB with a back injury...

The curse lives on 😩

Someone has to find that Rider pride flag in the stadium and jackhammer  that thing out and burn it along with a sacrificial virgin.  I cant think of the last time I was so excited to the start of the season.  Now it's gone up in smoke.  Which is what i might need to do in order to get thru this season.

You may have forgotten, but you are the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Riders will NOT trade you their No. 2 QB for anything you have. Full stop. If they did and Collaros goes down or poops the bed then they have just put themselves in the same position that you're in now. That's dumb.

If they have to rely on bridge they're done anyway. Honestly if Walters loses his brain and offers a first round pick Jones would be an idiot to not take it and run even if he does end up wasting it anyway.

Experienced QB depth in this league is paramount. The likelihood of any QB playing all 18 games is remote so keeping a reserve is prudent. It is unfortunate that Durant didn’t work out. It was a good plan and the outcome was certainly unpredictable.

So does anyone else think this topic could have been its own thread?

 

And for the record, I think we should just stick it out with our rookies. No need to trade for rider garbage.

We still haven't officially heard what is wrong with Matt have we?

 

 

We don't need Adams...   it's more of a nice to have.  

*IF* Nicholls is done for the season... the only QB that could salvage the season  (barring a miracle by one of our rookies) would be Kevin Glenn.   Nobody else is a guarantee...

Question... has Vernon Adams actually done ANY thing in this league? Not trying to be rude I’m just unaware ..

I remember him being highly touted and then bouncing around to a number of teams. 

Why would he help the bombers ?

You know what, the Cubs won a World Series after 108 years. An expansion team made the NHL finals. The Eagles won a SB with their backup QB. Maybe we can win the GC with a bunch of inexperienced QBs.
