I would think long-term that would've made us worse off and SASK better off (seeing as how they got Jade Etienne in the trade). So yeah, on top of Burris being a jerk, it would've made SSK better off and us worse off, so no thank you. Also if you assume Burris would result in the 2016 GC landing here - no way, Burris would've been mulch with those awful 2014/2015 seasons from the porous O-lines...and the supporting cast certainly wasn't there.

I don't see it making the Riders better. Willy likely does not resign there as they still had a healthy Durant coming off leading them to a Grey Cup. Glenn remains a Redblack. Willy may have gone to BC or Montreal. I think Burris would have made us better. Better QB even in 2014 than Willy ever was. blueandgoldguy and sweep the leg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Etienne never played a single down for them, so I don't see how that trade could've been any worse for them? Sure Willy may have just never resigned, but they may have been able to flip him elsewhere for a more promising trade that may have panned out.

The RedBlacks have been beaking negatively about Harris ever since he left. It also sounds like they low balled him & he decided not to take their offer. Pruneau should just keep his mouth shut.

TBURGESS Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Harris said it wasn't about the money then signed with the Eskimos for $525K, 50K more than the Redblacks offered. He also tried to double the amount of the signing bonus from the Redblacks. It was about the money folks. The Classic and JCon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to break to the people here, but it is always because of the money or the girl. "Dollars or dames" And the latter has been known to follow the former. Making Joe Fan happy is not in their best interests. Because Joe Fan will call you a bum and want you fired a week after buying your jersey.

rebusrankin Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Riders missing most of their DL tomorrow. Leonard on the 6. Evans is too I believe and Johnson is also out. Could be interesting. The Classic and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Well they were razor thin on depth and talent to start...so yeah shall see how they adapt..Shaq Evans too could be out...Too bad for Montreal that Standback is out..even with an intact Dline I doubt they would have been ab le to handle him The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm not going to lie, this is one of the reasons I picked the Als. Evans being out was another (although he's been boom or bust this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zontar Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Riders missing Johnson is a real gut punch for defense. He's ranked 97th . What a colossal waste of cap space. It's going to be fun when Priders start looking for scapegoats again. Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
