Kavis Reed is heading into the fire pit here in CGY, and he's doing the same old roster crap on Mike Sherman causing his lunch money to be stolen.  This is nonsense.

The Als must shake up their roster and throw away bad QBs.

Make Vernon Adams QB 1

Trade Drew Willy to Edmonton for Kevin Glenn

Send Jeff Matthews to Ottawa for Dominique Davis

Does anyone here actually think that Johnny M is going to light up the CFL?

Why not?

I just hope he doesn't run backwards fifteen yards from his line, cause this is not college football, and that will not work.

Idk. It's been 3 years since hes played any meaningful football. 5 if you dont include his 2 years in the NFL where he didnt show very much. 

I really think the only reason he gets the Hype is because he was a first round pick and a Heisman winner. Had he been any further down he likely doesnt get this much hype. I think hes going to be another NFL gone CFL bust.

I actually hope he does well here that might influence other elite football athletes on the bubble of cracking a starting NFL roster to think a bit more seriously about starting/having a pro career in the CFL instead of sitting on a practice roster in the NFL. I know the salary thing but one can dream.

I'm expecting the Als to cut Willy? 

JM should provide some mobility.....the deal is.... what kind of arm and pocket presence does he have?    Stay tuned

What kind of pocket can the Montreal O line give him?

Not much pocket  to show presence in so far this season in Montreal.

Montreal signed Austin Apodaca today.

Vernon Adams may have saved his job ... temporarily.  He won't be there next year though, and it might not be long until they bring back Tanner Marsh.

For all the questions about Manziel and his personal conduct, considering the steaming pile of mess in Montreal, he did show some raw talent. He can scramble and has a pretty good arm but the question whether he can adapt to the CFL and thrive is still unresolved. No question the season is lost to the Larks, so they have to decide how to manage their quarterbacks' game time to their best advantage. And BTW, Willy is a dead man walking.

The QB carousel swinging around full force will be the story of the rest of the Als' season.

That, and the death vigil for Reed and Sherman.

Man, who could the Als hire to rebuild after they fire Reed?  Who would want the job given the way they've burned their seed corn?

Tom Higgins and Jim Barker are the only names to come to mind, and you gotta wonder what kind of baggage Higgins has in Montreal.

Much as I detest him, I would think Tillman would be the best choice, but he is not available. I respect Higgins and I think he and Popp butted heads when Higgins fired an assistant coach for showing up to meetings drunk and drinking, and the players were still grieving Trestman so were not open to doing things Higgins' way.

Not sure why this is funny.

It makes sense. 

also,  Kent Austin. Danny Barrett. Macioca.

or a Canadian College coach. Blake Nill? probably zero chance of that happening.😆

just looked at Blake's wiki.... he's won a lot of championships.

wonder where Khari will go if this  doesn't turn around soon.

What a complete mess.

Khari did himself no favours by signing onto a sinking ship, and his career may be permanently derailed as a result. I don't know if Wally Buono has enough fire in his belly for an overhaul of this nature, Kent Austin and Danny Barrett have burned a lot of bridges, but would Maccocia want to leave a comfy, secure job for the chaos in Montreal?

What bridge did barrett burn? He took some very nice ncaa work for a while and is now a positional coach in the NFL. I dont blame the guy at all. Imo he is a gem of a coach too.

I think like we did, they go young.

Just looking at our team Some one like danny mac and plop. Plop is the HC with his usual hands on offense. He and mac should have some level of chemistry and familiarity. 

Target successful teams with the right mentality top down. Stamps, bombers etc. You can target the top tier of ast coaches on the rise like steinauer, or you can take the long shot former successful US coach like the cats did with jones or the als tried with sherman. 

Re hashing a guy like barker, or taman in any role is a poor move imo.
