Artopoeus? I’d still like to see them bring in an experienced 4th (5th if Elgersma makes his way here) QB for competition. 

UFL MVP or not, I don’t like the idea of half a year before the season starts, handing the backup job to a QB who’s never played a down of CFL football. 

Artpoeus was training camp fodder. Kept around because there was no competition. We knew who QB2 & 3 were going to be a year ago.

It is actually mind blowing how much this clip describes our offense.

Interesting that it's a lateral move and not a promotion.

That is interesting. Guess that means we will be back in the mix for a front office type this year as well.

Article: Most likely lies about Americanization (the fake shock that people even suggested it is hilarious), and zero additional clarity

Glad Sunderland's gone. There was always the chance if Walters had been fired that this shnook would have taken over.

So, attendance is terrible in Edmonton & Toronto. Not so great in Calgary & Ottawa. Only Winnipeg sold out all their games & with our downturn this season, I don't expect that to happen again. Maybe Saskatchewan will lead the league in attendance this coming season. The Commissioner is trying to change things up & is villified by the same fans who won't show up for a CFL game but can't wait for the NFL to start every year.

Hamilton doesn't list a GM, so maybe it is even with the same title name?

I think our schedule is a good one for us. We don't travel as much as other teams.

How can you  have an Asst GM but no GM? Talk about a top heavy "who's in charge" organization???

Yeah, however a few more short weeks next season.

You are right about the less travel.

This Stats Geek guy has the Bombers as the team traveling the least.
