I definitely agree. Once the existing head coaches retire or die, we should just fold the league.

How refreshing it is having Laura Diakun as guest host in the absence of Kate Bierness? She's a pro who keeps the panel on task & guess what?? They actually can have an interesting football discus

Dru Brown is out this week.

said it before, say it again, I hate seeing young gun QBs get hurt.  League needs those guys on the field so bad, I don't care who they play for. 

(no disrespect on the Bomber who hurt him -- was it Vaughters?  It was a clean football play.  Just stupid bad luck.)

Vaughters sort of belly-flopped on Brown after Brown was down, but that did not seem to have affected the ankle that was damaged. Weird.

Was non-contact on a scramble.

Is it bad luck or a guy who tried to make a play way outside of his athletic ability? Brown looks slow as molasses trying to evade the rush whenever he's flushed out of the pocket. Now, he's a walking injury. He doesn't do Bob Dyce any favours for his remaining enure as a head coach or help his team by constantly being injured. He seems to put himself into more trouble by trying to make a play with his legs rather than taking a sack. I'm thinking Brown just may not have the physical toughness to play at the pro level.

I see we're back to the No Quarterbacks worth drafting. How 2018 of the CFL Scouting Bureau for that. 

Are there any this year that would crack the top 20?  There were only 6 Canadian QB's playing D1 ball last year & we had guys like Kurtis Rourke who (probably thanks to his brother) we had been hearing about for a couple years before he was draft eligible.  2 of those 6 QB's (Callum Wither & Drew Viotto) are coming back up north to play this season but they haven't seen much playing time so no idea what they could turn out to be yet.  Otherwise I don't recall hearing about anybody else coming up yet who might be able to make it at the pro level. 

This is also only the first edition of the rankings so we'll see what the winter & spring rankings show as they do change - maybe there's a couple QB's right now who are just off the rankings but improve their standing over the course of the season.  The article even states that only 4 of 8 first round picks in the 2025 draft were on the 2024 fall rankings so somewhere along the line, those other 4 shot up (and/or other guys dropped off) the list.

I think the injury may have happened a play or two earlier.  That ferocious Jake Thomas pass rush that we all know & love (which Brown was lucky to avoid while scrambling for his life) must have caused some major knee damage that just wasn't immediately apparent.  😂

He has no speed without a knee brace. He'll be as quick as a Gallapagos tortoise with a brace on.

Taylor Elgersma is a Canadian qb who played U Sports. He seems to be doing well in Green Bay pressing an American qb for the #3 spot.

Luke Wilson does not come across like he knows a lot about the CFL.

Hr doesn't but his engagement with fans & other media personalities on social media is the best thing that's happened in years.

If people across Canada will all say "**** you Luke Wilson, I'm buying seasons for my local cfl team" then I will allow it.

I think Wilson shamed the Hamilton Ti Cat fans into selling out their first of 2 games this season... As he just made fun of them incessantly early this season.

Sure, but he comes across as an ass the way he is condescending to guys like Bob Irving and former players.

It's easy to identify attendance issues it's another to offer real advise on how to turn things around.

Eliminating quarterback sneaks or changing the clock rules for the last 3 minutes to a game won't draw new fans to the game.
