Wasting cap space on players your coach won't even use makes a lot of sense.

Carter is playing ahead of schedule, what you talking about?

Because he's the GM, his job is find better players, doesn't matter what the coach thinks of them, his job is to coach what he has, lots of love hate relationships over the years, it's about winning first. 

No it does matter what the coach thinks of them. But the coach grade of a player isn't the sole decider of whether they are signed/ brought in for a look.

Almost near total collapse of a defending championship team. Big story here but TSN will dance around it.

Yes I watched the game, and Carter wasn't even supposed to dress until the Sasl game, he's way ahead on the learning curve.

That's what professionals do, they put the good of the team before their own personal feelings.

It's not his personal feeling, it's his professional assessment which is important to take into consideration.

The question was why did Popp sign Carter if he knew Trestman hated him?

I agree with you, you're arguing against the wrong poster.

You indicated that it doesn't matter what a coach thinks if the GM believes bringing in a player will help the team even if the coach doesn't want him. That"s what I responded too.

They won by an incredible fluke last year so it's not a big story.

Call it the Argo Bounce or whatever but that Argo team had good chemistry. They played well as a team and all the parts worked well together. They got hot at the right time and a lot of that is Ricky Ray and the ability of Trestman to manage a football game. None of that chemistry is on display this year because Ricky Ray and some other key components are gone. It's Toronto. They'll find a way. They always do.

Not with MBT as their qb. Too green. And I ain't talking Riders.

True but he has had moments. Time will tell.

Lots of focus on Osh's mistakes this year... but Trestman is coaching like a total rookie.

Must be a mess with offensive play calling - Trestman, Condell and Calvillo - their game planning does not look like a Condell game at all...

Wonder if he'd be interested in an HC position...?

With Trestman as his HC anything is possible.
