According to some, and the way he conducted our re-signings and fa this year, some definitely ready to buy him a ticket

I mean it’s pretty telling when the gm says nothing all year. That’s not normal at all. Even last year he spoke once or twice during the season.

Not really telling at all for Walters.  He's usually gone from public view between the draft and GC.

Do a Google search and you'll really only get things from April or May then nothing until November.

A g.m that's in media lots during season...is a season and team in total free fall

Yup. Heard a bunch from Hervey and Burke this season.

Ya I'd rather a GM that's just putting in the work and not having to answer to the media. Obviously we had some problems this year that can be linked to a seemingly rough offseason, but I'm sure we'll hear more about that after the seasons over in a few weeks....

No,. it's not normal for a GM to go silent for half a year but c'mon. There's excuses & then there's apologists like this. Walters has mailed it in since he signed his now expiring contract. In a Grey Cup hosting year which makes it even worse.

Oh STFU.  Quit taking one little thing, completely misreading it and blowing it into something it's not.

Show me where I'm defending him.  All I said was it's normal for Walters (not every GM), this is his track record and has been for a while.  That's not being an apologist or being critical as I didn't give an opinion one way or another on his approach. FWIW, I would prefer if he was more visible and I'm definitely not satisfied with the work that was put in this year (from him or MOS).

My take is we (Walters/Miller) allowed Osh to have too much say and input in to what we felt was needed an who we wanted to keep (that should not have) and has got us to where we are. That needs to change going forward if either or both are to stay, and the G.M has to not be the HC buddy...but his Boss and he and his team will bring in the best players they can scrounge up, as well determine who will/and will not be back and the HC works within those parameters....like a typical organization does...
