Schoen "Top Performer" for October - 5 TDs in 3 games..... That'll do it, alright. 

MoP for the year... Collaros is a shoe-in.

Lewis couldn't even out produce a freaking rookie- so lame...

If he was with the Riders that would have been his season total. Wouldn't have been his fault...but just saying.

 

nice haul in divisional all-stars...

Donald Rutledge jr being on the practise roster and being named an Allstar is funny to me.

Just shows what kind of depth we have.

Shows the voters don’t watch the games.

Also, Andrew Harris, wtf?

I didn't even look at the east, but the West just smacks of name recognition votes. I mean, both Bighill and Rose, for us.......love those guys.......not sure they were all stars this year. 

Neither nominee for STPOY made the Allstar team

HARRIS?....WTF is that pick about....

Some name recognition...but also some of it is stats dont always tell the story...

Harris wasn’t even the leading rusher on his own team.. 

Some strange choices. Harris at RB in the east. I didn't think Biggie or Rose were all stars. Rutledge as an all star and he's spent the last month on the pr.

😂 great argument  - he had 26 fewer yards playing 5 games less. 
 

You can say “why him?”  - but he was the best RB in the division when he was healthy.

Harris had 4.3 yards per carry , 0 TD's and 4 fumbles with 19 yards being his longest carry.        Absolute joke that Harris was voted in when Oullette , Antwi, Fletcher all had far better numbers. 

Whoever compiled this list needs to be tested for THC. Some truly awful selections and glaring omissions.

This all-star list is embarrassing for the CFL, honestly. 
 

Bighill, Rutledge and Rose aren’t all stars. Not this year.

We’ve spent the last month talking about how stupid it is that there are people who want Rourke to be MOP. This is no different.

And Bede as top kicker in the east?!? LMFAO he's terrible. Pretty sure he had the worst field goal % out of all the east kickers, possibly the entire league. Shameful.

For those complaining, the voting for all stars was partially generated by fans. Which would explain why some players made the list likely by virtue of star power / name recognition

What argument am I making? I simply pointed out that he wasn’t even the leading rusher on his own team and made it as a CFL all star, his counter part Quellete also had a full yard per carry higher then Harris and two more touchdowns. It was a bad choice.

I see no mention of fan votes.

The Division All-Stars were selected by the local voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) in their respective division’s markets and the National Chapter, as well as their respective division’s head coaches.

At first glance I didn’t notice any Riders on the list but I saw KSB ended up making it. It’s funny to see the posters on the rider board thinking there’s a league wide conspiracy against the Riders. The hard truth is bad teams rarely get a lot of representation.

Truthfully, surprised KSB made it, but good for him.

 

some questionable ones...but then again....voted on by people in media...so somewhat in the know from what they told/hear from coaching staffs...also who have a vote

Some guys (sankey/dean) got sexy stats....but also thats at times not a good thing, and also thinking goes into things as a sum of the parts....Biggie for example was part of the best defense in terms of points against, amoung other things....he also did a lot more than Sankey...whoever played most games in Edm...B.C's guy...

High tackle numbers a lot of times means you cant get off the field...same with oline picks...sum of the parts...low sack totals...as well as high dont reflect the oline guys (tho in Sask its the exception and not the norm....was all around garbage)

Is Rose an all-star....basically....this yr tho....questionable...but also he took a lot of abuse as a result of a revolving door around him...and 3 rookies at times...so not expected he may have been trying to watch too many things at once to aid elsewhere, and it caused him a few times to get caught...and also his start to season ws not healthy...but he played through

Since tho Parker has progressed, and then games with Darby and also Lawrence for that one game..u cant help but notice that he isn't..well  noticed much now...and when he is it's for breaking up a play...good coverage and quick tackles....theres a reason for that

The statement was “he is not even the leading rusher on his own team”.  If that is your argument  - then it is different. 
 

If you want to say he missed too many games- sure, same thing. He was the best RB in the division (easily) when he got hurt. 
 

Do I think he should be the all-star? I don’t know if any other RB did anything  that much more impressive. I probably wouldn’t have picked him - but it isn’t that crazy compared to the options.
