He's almost 30... but since its the Riders, he'll probably play until he's 38 so maybe... Pretty sure Jamel Lyles is the 'steal' of 7th round draft picks though...

"I feel like I’m behind the eight ball. I want to be the guy, I want to get to that point,” Collaros said. “But I feel like the last three years has kind of stunted my intellectual growth in sports because I haven’t learned anything. I’ve learned a lot about myself. “There’s a lot of self-doubt that creeps into your mind and I think I’ve learned about myself that I can have a goal, there will be some self-doubt, but ultimately I’m strong enough in my mind to overcome those things and understand that if I trust the right people, I’m a strong person and I can work my way back from those kinds of things.” blue_gold_84, rebusrankin, SPuDS and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 On 2019-05-29 at 8:42 AM, Mr Dee said: Ed Hervey - Following Sunday’s 22-7 pre-season loss to his former team, the B.C. Lions GM was approached by Eskimos receiver Kenny Stafford, whom Hervey originally brought to Edmonton in a trade back in 2015. Stafford flashed a big smile and extended a hand of gratitude in the true spirit of Once an Eskimo, Always an Eskimo. Instead of warmth, however, Hervey pulled back, put both hands in front of his own face, turned his head away as if unwelcomely crossing paths with an ex and walked away without uttering a word. https://edmontonsun.com/sports/football/cfl/edmonton-eskimos/the-ex-eskimo-way-former-gm-ed-hervey-turns-handshake-into-cold-shoulder#click=https://t.co/wbbvprnuVb Can you imagine? Thank goodness we don’t have that Hervey putz. This sounds like Hervey was kidding with him, not that he was being a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally when you are joking like this though, you come out and say it....like "ah man I'm just playing! lol" and then shake the guys had or whatever....Ed didn't do that...just walked away. Odd joke, especially when Stafford was asked about it and he certainly didn't seem like he was in on the joke.

Maybe if this was the 1st time Hervey snubbed someone it could be written off as a joke but it's not. It's just typical behavior from him.

Sounds like he is screwed in the head. Can't accuse him of wimping out, though- he had to play behind some horrible 0-linemen and has taken a helluva beating. At some point every athlete and some non-athletes have to admit that they're done or become a pathetic spectacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought the saviour of the Riders and the league sacrificed his team for the good health and future of this young man... despite medical clearance... in a very selfless and heroic move... there's no possible way we could've been intentionally lead astray by media and fans from the rectangle?!?

Booch Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I would hope he didn't get too big of a confidence boost in the fact that the Riders "opted" to bring him back...they did all they could to land several others, so were relegated to bringing him back or start season with a nobody. If the season doesn't start well for him/them...and or he gets belted around good a few times in first few games...he will be toast..mentally and physically...

Bigblue204 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Sounds(reads) like he is already done mentally. At this point of the year, you want your QB 100% confident in their abilities.

I meant more so that a guy refuses to see the health implications of continuing to play.
