Migs Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 As I've been saying for the past 2 weeks... @robvanstone: The word from Durant and the Roughriders' medical people is that there's an excellent chance of #4 returning at some point in 2014. I guess Bombers fans can start saying he's no good again? jk. Good to always have the leagues stars return after injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousBIG Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Cool. I guess all the off season conditioning work he pays Bomber great Milt Stegall for is paying off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Credible sources - Durant and Taman. Now, let's ask Buck if he's ready to return before the season ends. I guess Taman offered a first rounder for Burris just so he could fill in for three games. Oh Brendan, you so crrrazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Flutie returned after 7 weeks in '95 with the exact same injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Okay ... but if they were that optimistic, why would they offer a 1st rounder for Burris? I get that it can happen and that it may happen. But it sure isn't "likely" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And love him or hate him, Madani is typically spot on. Unlike that house organ you guys got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I said here somewhere on a thread after the Riders 24-0 loss that I bet magically Darian Durant will start healing faster than expected. I wasn't wrong. They're panicking because they have no depth & 2 crappy qbs backing Durant up. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Let's see, the guy just had an operation and he's going to return to form, to deliver the goods. Sounds like a lot of bunk. Even if he could start throwing again his arm strength will have been diminished. If they thought Sunseri was bad, bring Durant back early and watch him skip a few IF he could do that. Also Taman is so confident in having his no 1 guy back, that he's trying to play let's make a deal. What a bunch of nonsense brought to you by the melon wearing spin guys. lol JohnnyOnTheSpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had his Monday Happy Appointment, which nullified all the midnight oil Taman was burning trying to get Burris back into Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 So let me get this straight...the day after Taman's trade offer is rejected by the RBs Durant suddenly has an excellent chance of returning. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Riders are desperately trying to not give the impression that they are desperate. No one offers a 1st round pick and a roster player for a 40 year old QB rental unless their QB is out for the season. Don't really care what Chamblin, Durant, or Taman SAY right now. Actions speak louder than words and the ACTIONS say that Durant is toast for this year. I found it especially comical that the timeline for "Durant's return to throwing" is the week FOLLOWING the trade deadline. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made an offer. You can rag on Madani all you want, but anyone who knows the history he has with Taman knows that he's likely getting this info straight from the front office. Offer =/= exploratory talks. You can call it what you want but it's already been pointed out to you that actions speak louder than words. They made an offer for Burris where they would have given up a first round pick and then some. That's a pretty loud action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
