Post one off topics and discussion for the league here.

This would not make the Riders better. That's the point. Let them have Durant. It would help the Bombers.

Yup, I believe by the time this season is over they'll be wishing Durant had stuck on the blue and gold uniform instead of having to see Mike Reilly 2.0 come out on the field against them.

I gotta say... I read through this thread and while it seems a lot of people are (rightfully) gleeful over the Riders misery... I don't see anyone wishing any ill will on Zach Callaros... nobody with an ounce of decency wants to see another person suffer from a concussion...

Okay I would only give the Riders rights to Durant for a first round pick Zach Evans and Naaman Roosevelt

....and 75G

Drew Willy needs a really good O line and he might be ok.

Drew Willy is done because even with decent OLs he holds onto the ball too long and has a slow release.

I got a little late to the party, but now that I hear Adams is back in MTL Drew Willy should be benched immediately.  Starting him any more games is a waste of time and keeps the Als' offense in a **** show.

Dude, the Al's offense IS the ****-show.

Yes, but having a broken QB who has no mobility, is trigger shy and plays with the deer in the headlights mentality makes it even worse.

Is Vernon Adams going to magically fix that offense?  Not likely but he has way more upside and athleticism than Willy and should have never been released from MTL in the first place.  Willy is done and the Als need to roll with Adams and possibly see what Schiltz and Pipkin also have.  Doubt Jeff Matthews has a future in the league either.

I was just quoting you to be funny. I agree with all your points.

And that's a career. A real shame. 

Awful.  Always was a Ray admirer

Wasn't there an OL recently (Keeping if I remember) and Walby too, who fear was that was how they would leave the game behind, on a stretcher? If I remember Keeping properly, his injury put him out the year, but he insisted on walking off, in case that was his last chance to be on the field, and he didn't want to leave the game forever that way.

Great respect for Ray, but he should have retired on top.

Terrible news for the CFL. Just hope that Ricky Ray makes a full recovery , one of the classiest players ever in the CFL.

that's spoken with the benefit of hindsight. There was no reason he shouldn't have kept playing, it's just a damned shame that this happened to him. It's a cruel sport sometimes.

 

Anyway if that is indeed a career for Ray he was one of the good ones. Class act and a damned good player, ice water in his veins and probably single handedly prevented Milt and Khari and that group from getting a cup.

Yep, he was always a good guy, and a good QB. Not much bad to say about the guy.

YOu must be a closest riders fan though.

 

You are aware that there are limits to verbal abuse, on this site?

LOL that's considered verbal abuse? If that's verbal abuse I would hate to see what 3/4 of the stuff yelled from the stands at the riders is. 

All the best to you, Ricky Ray, in your recovery. Class guy. 

 

Next time....I will simply type more slowly....

more gin.

 

we have some great distilleries here in CGY. One just put out a seasonal dill pickle gin... 

Guys .. might be best to keep the discussion on point as opposed to each other.

Getting the last word in an internet pissing match isn't all that important.

My satire was a bit too oblique, perhaps.   Apologies to everybody......

 

Interesting Andrew Harris and Jeff Hamilton have a podcast and Harris commented that he was not a big fan of them bringing in Muamba. Felt like he would not be a good fit in locker room. Implied he did not have good leadership qualities.
