Jesse Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, bluto said: I was thinking the same. I've got nothing to back that up other than it just feels like a very Alouettes thing to do. And not everybody will be in for Schoen... My team has FA/Salary issues aplenty without trying for that sort of move. I just think Cody needs a receiver like him, who knows when to break off his routes and come back to the QB when he's running around. He does so well at finding open space. If Montreal wants to commit to Fajardo, Schoen's the best guy for him. BUT, I'm obviously hoping we're in his ear and can convince that he's going to be much more successful by staying here with us. Hopefully we got Kenny and Zach in his ear too. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoen would be wasted on CodyFaj. Cody does not have the accuracy to utilize the strengths of Schoen. Lawler is the type of receiver he needs. A guy who can still make the catch on a very poorly thrown ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawler is the type of receiver he needs. A guy who can still make the catch on a very poorly thrown ball. Schoen would absolutely not reach his potential, but he's the guy I think CoFaj needs. He finds open space when the QB is running around. Kenny wants to make the big play and CoFaj won't be able to get it there. Kenny would make his highlight reel catches here and there but it'd be a lot of incompletions and interceptions. Obviously any great receiver makes any QB look better. But I think Schoen's play style would be more valuable for them. If they're sitting there trying to wonder who to make a play for, Schoen or Rhymes, for example.

Yes, but adding in Rhymes @ about $210K per season changes the dynamic. Receiver is not the only area that needs to be upgraded. They might take a shot at upgrading at RB with either Oliveria or Ouellette for example. They also have Hardy and just extended Acklin. So their receiving group is not that bad if they get quality work at the QB position. Edited January 18 by Blue In BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I don't believe that mistakes made when you are relatively young should haunt you forever. On the other, other hand, the CFL is likely bringing in enough from gambling that they were basically forced to do this. On the other ^ 3 hand, gambling is gross and all the ads for it are gross. I have no idea what my stance is on this. bluto, Noeller, MOBomberFan and 2 others 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC just signed 2 of their receivers for 200+ contracts and then Cottoy (didn't see that one's numbers). We have Lawler and Demski and still are trying to sign Schoen. There's nothing from keeping Ottawa from trying to sign Schoen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what I see from Schoen is that he is one of, if not the best receiver in this league at getting behind coverage and catching the ball on the run. Fajardo can't hit a moving target. If they want to waste Schoen by making him stop and be a stationary target then I think it's a lose-lose situation for both the Als and Schoen. That is most definitely not Schoen's strength. Can he do it? Of course, but he is most dangerous....almost exclusively dangerous as a moving target but needs a QB with accuracy to put it on him. 10 minutes ago, wbbfan said: I’m not surprised tbh.
