Yeah I mean I’m not one for the political talk but can we all just please agree Donald Trump is a ******* loser ruining the world? McInnis at 250k is interesting … sure wouldn’t expect an America

I don't see anything on X because I got rid of it when it was bought by Elon F'n Musk.  X is run by a Nazi for Nazi's & MAGA's.  If you're still there, you are supporting them even if you don

Milligan or Rourke, who is more overrated at this point?

Rourke. Highest paid guy in the league by a lot. Milligan is solid on teams and a good db. He isn't the best but he's good. Db is a position you expect guys to excel at quickly to. At qb, the sophmore year is a hard hit and the way you really judge em is how they bounce back from that. Rourke is at that judging point now, but being paid like he's flutie 2.0. Coasting off his first half a year as a starter, which was 3 years ago is nuts. 

Rourke could be the 3rd or 4th best qb in the league this year, and that would still leave him wildly over rated and paid. I think he has as good a chance at having another brutal year as he does of being 3-4.

Rourke. Dudes been getting glazed since before he started his first game. It’s not close. There is no way Rourke can ever live up to the hype. It’s impossible. BC would have to sell out every home game and the road teams they play would have to sell out all games Rourke comes to play for him to live up to the hype and BC would have to win more than 1 grey cup. At this point the goat cfl QB is collaros right now. No hype. Just a chip on his shoulder from a bogus suspension. That’s a good thing for Zach. A motivated pissed off Zach is best for the blue bombers.

Rourkes 4 TDs, and 9 INT’s in 9 games is ugly! Especially considering how good BC’s receiving core was.

Is Milligan Ed Gainey 2.0?

Definitely. Milligan was burned a ton in coverage all year but had a ton of interceptions from QBs throwing the ball right into his chest. He wasn't taking balls away in coverage like Ford did, he just happened to be standing in the right spot at the right time for a tip from the DL, or an errant throw.

yeah he musta got some of the easiest INT's in a long time....dude several times was just standing in space and had ball hit him right in his chest...wasn't from extraordinary plays on the ball

I used to rag on Holm but he busts up plays...tho I still dont like his physicality or tackling.....but if he had any hands at all he's have had Milligan int numbers but he has 2 stones for hands...but breaks up a lot...Nichols too....if he got the volume...he'd get the picks....The fact that fall past the brainiacs like the TSN gang is that Milligan gets targeted a lot....same with Houston....yeah they will get picks....but also burned a lot and give up lotsa plays in front of them

Nathan Rourke actually got one vote for #1 on the top 50.

As in best player in the league.

What are the chances it was Farhan?

I'd say 1900 % lol

Let's not take anything away from how overrated Milligan was last year. That was ******* absurd and based on almost nothing. 

Just the colour of his jersey.  Stick him on any other team and his name would have barely been mentioned last year.
