Floyd Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Always interesting to watch Taman roasted despite finding us two franchise QBs on a shoestring budget... we blast him for trading away picks but I remember the pressure to find a QB after the Reinbold era and then after Khari's injury...remember Taman had Khari locked down for three years before they stumbled out of the gate And interesting to watch Walters get a pass just because we're so relieved to not have Mack here anymore... Nichols - so far - is more Kevin Glenn than Khari Jones... Im very excited for Streveler but I also remember being excited about other backups until they became starters...

Five games in and they had hardly any catches. A lot of drops. That was hard to watch. And stomach. Was Chris Brazzell also around at that same time? We just seemed to have a knack for signing receivers who were actually more droppers than catchers.

I'm pretty sure Mack drafted him 11th overall in 2013 based entirely on his 40 time. Don't think he even made it through a single training camp. To be fair, Robertson blew out his ACL before camp. He healed up and came to camp the next year but got cut. You're right, he did get drafted too high purely based on his 40. But he was also a good DB in college, just a little undersized. Sometimes picks just don't work out. If he hadn't had the knee injury we might be telling a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Taman did a good job considering what he had to work with. I just feel like things should have evolved after a while and we should have started accumulating draft picks. Not having a serviceable backup middle linebacker and having to trade a 1st round pick for Zeke Moreno when Canada refused to be traded was a low point.

That's on the CFL not Taman... that was a bogus 'settlement' Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgarity was supposed to be an answer to a bunch of questions. And he just ended up being soo bad. I felt soo bad for k9. Such a great guy, had success after and before here just snake bitten while here. He also ended up with some pretty bad QBing at times but still.

Atomic Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 We traded Kamau to Hamilton for Brazzell. Then Kamau went to Edmonton and became a superstar catching passes from Ricky Ray. kelownabomberfan and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 **** Kamau Incompleterson. Guys shitty hands started the downfall of Khari Jones here. I can never forgive him for that.

Tee Martin was proof that you cannot show up at training camp looking like Mr. Bibendum and expect to make the roster. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hackney was 260+ pounds but damn what an arm. I don't think he actually made it to main training camp. That was 2009 with Mike Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was here for 2 (1?) training camps and around 25 games but upon his departure admitted he never got his head around the 3 down concept. As for shape, Id say when he first got here he was in good shape. (some monster runs in practice) In 05 when he started he got run down by some awful slow interior DL. His touch and accuracy were not good. But outside of glenn and khari we did not have anything to write home about in qb talent for a very very long time. I dont think any of the guys we went through in those days were worth a can of beans. Edited May 9, 2019 by wbbfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I was young but I completely remember Tee Martin throwing a perfect bomb down the field and Kamau beating the coverage only for him to drop the ball despite it floating beautifully in his hands. Tee Martin looked good, his receivers were absolutely atrocious. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Tee Martin and his receivers were both terrible. Don’t feel bad for Tee. He did just as much to screw his career by being bad as any receiver did. TBURGESS and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
