Westy Sucks Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Shrug? You serious? Stamps could easily come back this year and be a top 5 WR. Al Bundy and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Perfect Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Shrug? You serious? Stamps could easily come back this year and be a top 5 WR. Sure. I could also win 649 this weekend as well. What's your point? He's finished, and has the worst starting QB in the league throwing him the ball. Duron Carter isn't going to be there to bail out that offence anymore. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 This reeks of bracing for the loss of SJ Green.... I wonder if the Bombers will be in the SJ Green sweepstakes comes Feb.... or the Dressler swwepstakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm good with entering neither of those sweepstakes. sweep the leg and Mr. Perfect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm good with entering neither of those sweepstakes. Why? If we can't get someone like Heenan or Stanley Bryant, having one more game breaking receiver would be huge for our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 You don't overpay for receivers unless it's a guaranteed NI game breaker. Certainly not an Import one. You recruit Import Receivers...don't go spending a pile of money. That's a Desjardins thing to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 If we can't significantly improve the pass pro why waste money on WR? The other issue is spend for FA Nationals and go find Internationals....supply and demand dictates that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUCH better value. If we really want a receiver, let's go out and get one in free agency. While everyone is battling it out for SJ and Dressler, let's sneak in there and grab Chiles or Ellingson. We don't need a number one or two. We need a number three and those guys would be great in a WR3 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrg Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am an unabashed Fred Stamps fan. There are almost no players from other teams that I pull for. Stamps is all class and talent, and I wish he'd been a Bomber instead of an Eskimo. He didn't have a great season last year. He had 4 incredible ones before it. Maybe his best days are behind him, but I'd have been happy to have him on our roster in 2015 to find out. JohnnyOnTheSpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really need to ask what my point was? I made it! It's that Stamps can still be a very good WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm with Mike, Chiles and Ellington would be cheaper and likely more benefical to us. Denmark/Moore/Chiles/Kolhert/JFG would be a nice corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going after Green wouldn't be the first, second or third thing I'd do in free agency, but if all the big fish end up on someone else's hook and we have a fat roll of bills in our pocket with no one to spend them on, arming Willy with Denmark, Moore and Green is something I'd give serious consideration to.

Goalie Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Stamps gets the chance to hopefully be productive again. He certainly wasn't a big part of the Eskimos last year. Very invisible really. I like stamps and wish him well in Montreal but I think he's near the end of his career now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 We're paying quite a bit for Moore and Denmark at receiver already, a cheaper option would be better, someone with the potential who hasn't really shown it yet. I'm thinking like when the Bombers first picked up Terrence Edwards. I dunno who is available that fits that bill but surely there's someone to be had, or god forbid the scouting department digs up someone good. I think there's better areas to focus the efforts on in FA than a star receiver. Especially with Desjardins poised to go full ***** looking for receivers.

gbill2004 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if Walters has the money/cap space for 2-3 more big splashes in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I wouldn't throw loads of cash at any import receivers. We have bigger needs and surely we can find one Damn receiver this off season. Let's be honest. We gonna start 2 Canadians and 3 Americans. Moore Denmark and the third import will hopefully be a training camp find Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
