GCn20 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Since I'm on a rant about MOP posers...cause that's what they are..how does a QB with 23 TD passes become a serious contender for MOP? Brown had 9 in 2 and half games. 30 is the bare minimum imo or else voters should be looking elsewhere because 23 screams game manager only. Also since Labor Day..7TD passes vs 5 INTs. Not MOP numbers when the season got real. Consistency all season long has to be a consideration with a slight bias to performance after Labor Day when you are facing the stiffest competition. In that regard both Kelly and Betts can hardly be considered outstanding. Maybe MPP..most pedestrian.

TrueBlue4ever Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) What was the deal with Madani when he was here? Was working with the Bombers directly in their social media department or director of communications, or something like that IIRC, then swiftly disappeared. I think Bauming is now doing the job he had, but his departure always seemed sudden and I thought there were rumblings of discontent somewhere during his tenure. Am I remembering any of this correctly, or do I need to visit concussion protocol again?

But you can't penalize Kelly because the Argos spent the whole season kicking ass and takin names, dontchaknow? Dinwiddie personally had to stop Kelly from scoring more TDs!

Madani was the PR/Communications guy for a brief stint which is now handled (among MANY other roles) by Darren Cameron. wbbfan, TrueBlue4ever and JohnnyAbonny 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing Dinwiddie did not let Kelly show his true greatness, we may have all been blinded.

TBURGESS Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Kelly started and excelled in his 2nd year after only having a single start in his first year. He took over the Grey Cup winning team and actually made it better. He's on Toronto, the center of the world. I expect he will get MOP.

voodoochylde Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I think in terms of a single player's impact to the overall success of their team and the excellence with which they've performed, Brady (objectively speaking) should be considered the favourite to win MOP. Toronto has been the story all season and the media / voters being what they are, will attribute much of that success and their record success to Kelly (rightly or wrongly).

Goalie Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) If a Canadian RB loses the MOP to an American qb with meh stats just to appease a market that doesn't give a ****... they gonna go away sooner than later. The Canadian should win the MOP. I mean really what's the standard here? 2000 all purposes yards as a Canadian RB or just meh below average even QB stats Guys put up better numbers than Kelly every year, looks like a couple did this year also...2000 all purpose yards by a Canadian RB? Just the 2nd time EVER. Edited October 30, 2023 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definately has average stats, and wasnt really the reason they have the record they do...Chalk that more up to their defence...their returner giving them killer field position all yr, and the fact they played Ham..Ott and MTL a combined what 10..11 times??

Super Duper Negatron Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) The media decided Kelly was getting it after like week 3, the same they did with Rourke last year (which was only foiled by his injury). They are simple creatures...it is very difficult to change their minds once they get into the cycle of parroting each other.

If Rourke had stayed healthy, he was on pace for about 6000 yards and 50 tds. Hype was at least justified.
