So, looking ahead....what's our off season going to look like? Coaches and GM all still under contract, right? Players? Who's going to the NFL? Who do we think might bolt in FA? Pieces that we'd like to see the WBB pick up in FA?

It's amazing Milt still talks to the Bombers after what they gave him to work with. It would be like my employers asking me to work without a computer. 

1997 with over 1600 yards, 26 yards per reception which I believe is a record and something like 16 tds with Kevin McDougall and Chris Vargas at QB and nothing beside him at wr, think the next leading receiver had 300 receiving yards. I mean he did that with no other threats.

These are the reasons I throw up when people say Geroy was better

Not only that but dbs got away with absolute murder back then. Till the early 2ks vice cover was one guy playing press cover doing his best to not let you get down field then after 10 yards 2 of them doing it. 

 I've never seen wrs get mugged soo bad as the cfl in that era.

Yup. Greatest ever. End of discussion. People always argue Allen Pitts. He was great, no doubt, but lets look at his quarterbacks:

Danny Barrett 1990-1991

Doug Flutie 1992-1995

Jeff Garcia 1994-1998

Dave Dickenson 1998-2000

Jesus H Christ. Those guys would have turned Woody Allen into a HOF receiver.

Milt would have hit 2000 yards every friggin' season with one arm tied behind his back.

That and an entire hof career worth of tds between em lol. 

Geroy is no2 in my books. But milt is in a tier all by him self. He was like prime Doug flutie.

Danny Barrett probably threw for more yards in 1 game then the entire career of half the guys who tossed a pass to milt.

And he was the worst QB Pitts played with!

Just saw Theadric Hanson is back in Poland I am assuming he is going to play in their season then re sign with the Bombers once that season is done.

Guy is an animal. I have a feeling if you asked him to play on semi pro team and the schedule didn't over lap that he'd be all over it. Idk if any one else loves playing football as much as he does.

Jesus H. Christ was a quarterback? For Calgary?

I don't think I have heard many mid-20 year old receivers say it is one place or retire.

Love that guy.

Wolitarsky is the man.

Such a good dude in general.

They resurrected his career but cut him after he turned the Gatorade into wine.

He is soo similar to Cooper kupp in his game just with less volume. But as a person is like a keanue reeves meme

Woli is awesome....takes whatever role he is put into and plays it lights out....if he was used as a true slot...easy 1000 yard a year guy with 6 to 10 TD's...

Jesus H., turns out, played for the Phillies.

Thought it was news. Can be deleted.

Colin, say the Bombers offer Lawler $180.000 & the Lions $250,000, you'd expect him to turn it down to stay here? To walk away from $70 or $80,000? Even if there was a difference of $50.000 if we went to $200,000, tops?  C'mon man, get real. 

 

Assuming he's referring to himself,  Lawler and Burnham.  ☹️

 Playoff money should also factor in, which can add another $25K-$30K or so. Unless something catastrophic happens next season, we are a virtual lock to make the playoffs and odds on favorites to make it back to the Grey Cup. BC on the other hand will probably still be battling Edmonton for the West basement. Also, Lawler is the Alpha receiver here and will continue to be in the spotlight. In BC he'll be battling Whitehead and Burnham for targets being distributed by an unknown QB, which could hurt his future earnings when he's not putting up gaudy numbers. Lots of things to consider for Lawler.

Think he means the NFL guy they signed

Maybe Lawler is cut of same cloth as others..stays for less..pads it with playoff money...culture and brotherhood

That being said...that offer also disappears if he doesn't  accept it before window for it closes... especially if he still waiting on the NFL...and I doubt as free agency really kicks in BC will be holding that money just in case...I have my doubts he leaves to be honest...we won't match...I doubt we even top out at 200k...but we will have options either way....I bet in this environment a Derrel Walker would flourish and be that top 3 in league receiver again...and I bet he on our radar and could be had for Begelton/Burnham money....I'd also take a stab at Marketh Ambles too...be an excellent complimentary piece...same with Josh Huff....we have a lot of cap friendly options if Lawler prices himself out...Sign Bailey...and Woli..Demski...Walker and say and Ambles or Huff wouldn't hurt u one bit..or even Weineke in place of one of those 3....I also curious as to what Jackson and Argula bring to table..
