the stamps 2 victories were meaningless   ... I  still think they fight with the Riders for the basement

toronto has enough talent to still win without a QB: special teams + decent D

 

A couple other interesting releases.

I ask the question again - who do they have at QB who is better? 

Watson may be a POS as a person & in reality, he should be banned from the NFL. However, he isn't & talent wise, Watson is a much better qb than Rourke. Plus he was drafted & Rourke wasn't so not a lot invested in Rourke by any team.

Of course if he was Canadian DE of Nigerian heritage then he'd now be a multi millionaire.

I wonder if Montreal was keeping cap space for Mack’s return because bringing in Mack would make them the over whelming favorites to repeat.

I suspect he is gonna wanna linger around down there a bit....it likely his last kick at the cat down there this yr so will tryand squeeze every last chance he can get

Too bad the Falcon's won't can Dee and he just said screw it... I'm coming back! lol....tho Osh would prob play Kramala anyway and say he needs to earn his way on roster...we like guys we have BS 

Maccochia(sp?) and Maas have turned a team that was a loser on the field and against all odds, have made them a powerhouse through smart signings and good coaching and management. I would have bet against them, but here they are- the class of the league.

Probably more Maccochia and their scouting dept. than Maas, who's failed to find much success in any other system he's been involved with.

Maas might be underrated as a coach, I'd say he's been successful pretty much everywhere but Saskatchewan. Won a Grey Cup as QB coach with the Argos and coached the Redblacks offence to a major turnaround as their OC in 2015.

His time in Edmonton was a mixed bag but not terrible either, he made the playoffs 3 out of 4 seasons and won a semi final game each time. They've gone 13-46 since firing him after an 8-10 season in 2019.

I'm telling you, its going to be The Winter of Rourke. The biggest season since

They’ve really drafted well too. Philpott & Dequoy are two of the best players in the league at their position.

I dont know- he came up with a really good offensive plan in the 23gc to negate the Jeffs and subsequently score when needed to.  I always liked him as a coach- nice to see him realize his potential.

Mtl was a good bad team before they took over. The coch and anger management took it up a notch for sure.

drafted well, developed and found us talent well, didn’t get roped into over paying guys in free agency.  Fajardo is making mid tier qb money, other wise they don’t have any guys in the top 25 paid. They exemplify next man up the most. That’s why they are the top team. 

And Rourke is back with BC Lions.

Big play VA must be in shambles this AM, his MOP campaign was short lived. 

Almost wonder if he requests a trade.

 

Hosting the Grey Cup, I figured if he was coming back to the CFL it would be with the Lions. 

How do they afford it? I have to feel for Adam’s he was having an outstanding season but that’s the nature of the business. Any chance he plays against us on Sunday?

I wonder if Adams is going to be out longer? 

So do we get Rourke or Dolegala on Sunday ?

Got that vibe with him on the sidelines, he was totally out of it and wasn't paying any attention to the game.

There's no way Rourke steps in and plays this week.

This appears to have aged well.
