My thinking was exume is a fa and hasn’t flourished in mtl plus it’s far from stabile. Really they are stabs in the dark but worth taking those shots imo.

If Montreal is not interested and for the right price, I would love to see him back.

I thought he might be a good safety backup but obviously I was in the minority. wbbfan and JohnnyAbonny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, I can’t see him back here if his main priority is being close to home. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jy is an amazing coach and we have a bunch of great players that make guys better. Mtl doesn’t have much of that. JohnnyAbonny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) I think Kramdi is already a solid replacement for Exume. We have a knack of finding depth here in the draft or undrafted guys. Not really interested in paying FA mark up for one. He made his choice, no hard feelings I like the guy, but moving on.

Wideleft Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Interesting tid-bit: "Miller and his crew will release their numbers from ’22 in a couple of months, and they’ll show another profitable year for the Bombers. “No. 1 in attendance in the CFL, which was great,” he said, a hint of pride coming through over the phone. “Great corporate partnerships and support. So it’s going to be a really positive year.” It’s the first time in recent memory, probably in decades, the Bombers have been No. 1 at the gate. With four straight crowds of more than 30,000, last season marked the second-best attendance in team history, behind only 2013, the first year of the new stadium. Miller wasn’t ready to reveal the bottom line, but it should be at least $2 million, the size of the 2021 profit." https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/bombers-miller-shrugs-off-als-takeover-looks-for-profitable-2023 BBlink, MOBomberFan, Bubba Zanetti and 15 others 8 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup they are GC champions. Makes sense obviously. But as a lifelong watcher of the CFL and a HardCore Blue Bomber fan, I really believe the Argo's as I see them currently are being overrated based on watching them years previous to date. I'll take the 'I told you so's' come this season if the blow thru the league with ease but I don't see it. Here's hoping a a poster like me can revisit this post about 3/4 into this coming season and highlight where the Argo's currently find themselves in the standings.

I’m not suggesting he’s “starting” calibre, just wondering if he is in fact on the roster or if he is a free agent. Although, if he was auditioning to be a starter, he did mop up really well in the Grey Cup as his audition tape (dammit).

Booch Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Evans will be the starter there, and that will put them below us....They may challenge for tops in the East...have some good pieces, but also have some glaring weaknesses. I still think when you look at each franchise top to bottom....Management and coaching...intangibles and top end players in prime....(and pffft with the age thing) we are still the class of the league and the team to beat....Barring some type of catastrophic injury(s) but that can be said for all teams If it is another Grey Cup appearance, and against the Argo's....I see it as a total different result..... and not just looking at it thru blue tinted spectacles....its from looking at and evaluating the sum of all the parts Blue-urns, JohnnyAbonny, Wideleft and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
