Justin Palardy on his way to Regina

Not sure at all how this helps the Riders.  Milo has a fairly decent leg but goes through stretches.  It seems like Milo didn't come to camp in very good shape.  This is likely a move to put a little heat on Milo as I can't see the weak legged Palardy being an upgrade.

Lost in the over exaggeration about his leg is the fact that Palardy is actually a pretty accurate kicker. More accurate than Milo anyway. 

 A whole 1% more accurate over their respective careers with a significantly weaker leg.

Well, 1% improvement....why didn't they make the change sooner, for crying out loud.

To me, either Milo is hurt or this is an attempt to have somebody ready in case he doesn't come around.

 

The way Milo kicked in 2013 would suggest that he is capable of better play but placekicking is such a confidence thing that he may be too far gone.

it's 2014 now, if a kicker is having accuracy issues you don't want to keep using him. A few missed field goals with the west being as tight as it is might be the difference between playoffs or not. 

This is the reality.  Milo has shown himself to be excellent but in the West Division it is near impossible to wait for a kicker to work themselves out of a funk.  It is just way too close.
