I don’t think he will be his new 100%, and we have no idea how effective his new 100% will be. If he’s a great locker room guy maybe you bring him in with the expectation he sits on the 6 for the min, unless he suddenly looks like some one you want to involve. 

He might be in a tc next year, but i think he will be out of the league. Such a damn shame. 

I mean davis was a short yardage qb for ages, but he was actually really good at straight away qb keepers. It’s very possible he has work this coming season. 

The qb talent pool in the league is hot garbage rn. 

Its hard though to be out of football a year and come back. Even more so if you haven played well in a long while. 

One hit to the knees & both guys are done. Again. Bringing them back even after a 2 year absence is madness. Time to let them go. Rehab whatever they are entitled to & then cut them.

I also like Nield from Sask..thought he came up with some clutch catches..would add depth at least.

Nield would be a welcome addition here. He can run downfield & make contested catches. Clercius is a tank. And runs like one.

Nield isn't a guy to change much about a receiving corps. Emilus though, yeah I think he's a pretty under rated guy around the league.

Can any former Rider receivers ever find happiness in the Blue & Gold? Would we Bomber fans accept Emilus or Nield? Look how hard it was for both Ryan Smith & Weston Dressler to play here. There was always a small group of Bomber fans who never forgave them for being former Riders.

Willie and Yoshi did not seem to have any issues here, being former Riders.

Nic Demski. And fans like that need to get over themselves.

Demski is a special case being that he's from Winnipeg & played for the Bisons. Not his fault the Riders drafted him.

Winnipeg fans would love Emilus if he was here.

He was at the end of his career by the time he came here so yeah he been associated with the Riders for so long that I can see that.  He also didn't have a big energetic personality that made you overlook that Rider stink.  Guys like Willie and Yoshi made it hard to dislike them.

Hardrick was hardly a Rider...one partial season and cut during season...

That's what I mean. Like how hard is it to understand that, Piggy???? The more high profile the Rider player, the more hate.

Personally I enjoyed watching Dressler when he played for us. Doesn’t really bother me if a player comes from the Riders or any other team (we wash the stink off real quick) unless there are huge mitigating factors of said player where they have compromised the values they espouse as a club and as a community.

There were definitely some people not happy about bringing in Rider castoffs.  Worked out well for us in the end but there was doubt about him.

Thanks, that's all I was talking about. You'd read the odd grousing here on MBB as well.

Listen I'm the guy here mostly likely to have a beef with any former Rider, just based on hyper anti-Sask mentality... And, to my knowledge, I have ALWAYS said on here, once a guy left there to come here: "Get the Riders stink off him and we're good to go"...

And just last week I was begging for AJ Allen to come here... And there's nobody that hates Sask more than I do. Nobody. 

 

And in other news, please God, let this happen....
