Imo, the best course of action for the Riders would be to secure a starting QB and build around that. It would be a disaster for this coming year for sure, but in this league you gotta have a QB. They don't have a Chris Jones defence to rely on, although Riderfans would have you believe their defence won't miss a beat, and really there isn't a ton of talent on that team that hasn't already walked away. Might as well throw some serious dollars at a QB and begin a rebuild. The Riders don't believe they need one, but they really do. Chris Jones was a fantastic HC, but terrible GM. He got more out of that group than anyone could have expected. If they don't get a QB they are a 6 win team this year and will be until they find one. Get one this year and start rebuilding around him and their might be hope for next year.

I think he is a really good DC...Average at best HC...and a horrible GM....not sure about the President of Operations part, but based on all the stuff they got caight doing the first 2 years, and the place they are in now...I'd say he was bad at that too.

Rebuild for sure, and if they don't land a Reilly..BLM...or even a Harris they are royaly screwed. Franklin...Jennings..Glenn??...just won't get it done there, especially with their best reciever gone, no slam dunk Roosevalt signs there and zero Canadian depth on offence. 

Aging Hughes on defense who dissappeared last 3rd of season, losing Evougan..possibly Jefferson, and still need to address their o-line even though most there think it's awesome because they gave up less sacks than us (which means diddly when you break it down) So a lot of work needs to be done there....and doing it with a rookie HC and GM as well as a fresh face DC..well growing pains will occur...which we can attest to in our first few years of this new regime and rebuild

No, no, no. Steinbach is way easier to make fun of. For example- do you know that having sex while standing up is illegal in Steinbach? 'Cause it might lead to dancing.

Ha - the movie 'Footloose' always comes to mind when I drive past the Steinbach sign
