I'm not sure how people on a discussion board discussing issues they have with roster management (and other BB football decisions/approaches) and how it could be improved to help us secure a win have lost with touch with reality? I follow along for the most part and rarely see someone suggest MOS needs to go, be fired.  To me saying he's not going to get fired anytime soon means anyone who raises ongoing issues with his decisions mean they have lost touch with reality. But that's just me and I haven't read every post and I could indeed be missing something here. I'd rather see a discussion board full of opinions than a discussion board that sets a limit on what can be talked about and for how long. We all (most?) know none of this is within our control, our influence (that reality part you refer to) but it's great to chat about it anyways.

As I said to 17. Quote where I said people shouldn't talk about it.

Sure but it seems you’re implying it. Anyways go Bombers.

Sorry, can you quote the part where I said people aren't allowed to talk about it? Or are we ONLY allowed to talk about roster management and how undeniably shitty things are with this 5-4 team. And how hopeless it all is. Would that be better? Am I being too positive for you? Id start a thread about how mos isnt going anywhere but im sure you'd start talking about roster management in it again, so I won't.

So then what the hell is your point? Everyone knows osh ain't getting fired but it's a big issue for the team so it gets brought up... that's how message boards work...

And I'll reply with whatever I want. Thats how message boards work.

you're still not making sense, explain how people have lost touch with reality because osh isn't getting fired.... I mean everything is just hunky dory with the roster? no issues at all?

You keep saying this but it's not really true.

I went back and looked at the draft history  since 2015 and we are above the league average when it comes to retaining our OL draft picks beyond their rookie deals.  I only looked at the first 2 rounds so the numbers could be better or worse overall but I was looking at the top rated OL (excluding guys who fell due to NFL interest).  It was surprising how few actually last past 3 years with their original team.  

• BC - 6 OL drafted, only one stayed past their rookie deal (Godber).
• EDM - 5 OL drafted, only one stayed past their rookie deal (Beard).
• CAL - 3 OL drafted and 2 have stayed past their rookie deal (Sceviour & Bell).  I was a bit surprised at how few high draft picks the Stamps have used on OL.
• SSK - 5 OL drafted, only one stayed past their rookie deal (Fry).
• WPG - 6 OL drafted, 3 stayed past their rookie deals (Chungh, Couture, Gray). Dobson, Desjarlais & Spooner are the ones who didn't play at least 4 seasons with us.
• HAM - 5 OL drafted & 2 have stayed beyond rookie deal (Revenberg & Woodmansey).
• TOR - 9 OL drafter with 5 staying past their rookie deal (McEwen, Sackey, Hunter, Richards, Nicastro).  They also still have Doxtater that they drafted in 2021 but he bounced around down south so he's only in year 2 with them.
• OTT - 7 OL drafted with 3 staying past their rookie deal (Mateas, Lauzon-Seguin, Pelehos).
• MTL - 6 drafted, only 1 has stayed past their rookie deal (Lestage).

Why go back to 2015 as it has absolutely nothing to do with our team in 2015. I think the only holdover from that year is OL Pat Neufeld. I'd be interested to know the same stats from 2021 or 22.
