iso_55 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'd be OK with KG being here this season. He's an insurance policy in case willy gets hurt. Solid backup and gives Marve time to learn the game more. He's the kind of insurance policy where your house burns down and the guy shows up with a tent and says "here's your payment, enjoy". Meh sorry I just don't want to pay a guy to take up a spot in the chance that Willy gets injured and then may actually contribute. And barely at that. I don't say this out of "vitriol" either. Did any of you guys watch that BC playoff game?? Have you all forgotten. KBF, I want a playoff spot so I don't care if Glenn is our backup. If Willy gets hurt with Marve & Portis's limited experience then we're ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Glenn may or may not be in our plans, but it comes down to how much faith the coaches have in our current backups. He has not embarrassed himself in personal conduct, and would likely be a decent experienced backup if need be, but I don't see him coming back.

Westy Sucks Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I just can't get behind this argument. "What's the point? If he's playing for us in November, we're screwed" Same goes for Marve or Brohm. Is it wrong that I actually have more faith in Marve in November then Glenn simply due to watching Glenn all these years? Lol Of course it's not wrong. It's the reason why half of us hate him. Hate him? Interesting. I'd be curious to know if you've ever even spoken with him. Grow up. Oh geez...get off your effing high horse. Hate him as a football player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I can understand some people saying "Nah, I'd rather not bring in KG5 at this point..." but the outright vitriol being shown is absolutely astonishing to me. Man oh man, I didn't know he kicked so many people's dogs... It's many factors....one of the biggest is downplaying every loss he's ever had and blaming something...anything....other than himself. No credibility. No leadership. No drive. No to KG. No to mediocrity in this, the longest current Grey Cup drought. It's a shame you had to miss the 2007 season. It was pretty good, for the most part... And that's the story of KG's career...almost good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk · 3h3 hours ago I'm told the #Bombers, by their choice, are only on periphery of Glenn talks. #Alouettes and #Riders appear to be the contenders. #CFL Kirk Penton @PentonKirk · 3h3 hours ago I don't know why more teams aren't be going hard after Glenn, who wouldn't command a huge salary. #CFL #Bombers Kirk Penton @PentonKirk · 3h3 hours ago I realize Glenn is in the twilight of his career, but is your team's backup better than him? For most teams, that's a no. #CFL #Bombers Exactly…Kevin Glenn would only be insurance, in case the next backup - Portis, falters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Would much rather see Marve play instead of bringing back Glenn. Not surprised that Montreal and Saskatchewan are the teams that want him. Crompton IMO is mediocre at best and at the low end of mediocre to top it off. Sask obviously doesn't want a repeat of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Kg is a great insurance policy and can come in and win some games if necessary.If this were 2011-12 I would agree with you. 2015 KG not so much.All I'm saying is a year ago a lot of guys were happy to pick up Burris LOL. KG at the right price (150-175k) wouldn't be so bad. Do you really think marve or portis is going to perform better than kg? For a CFL back-up? No way that's a good deal. It's definitely not a bad one. Isn't that what Willy makes? Willy makes more than that. And Willy is a low end salary QB at this point.Hell, Dinwiddie was making about 150k when he was here I believe. Fair enough then. I didn't know what Willy actually made. 150k for KG still feels wrong to me. When Willy was signed it was reported he had a base salary of $250,000. Same money asCollaros.

Fatty Liver Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think Glenn was in the spotlight in 2014 due to the RedBlacks fiasco and he was given a great opportunity in BC to prove all of his critics wrong ...unfortunately he failed to do so. I was all for bringing him in last year but not this year, his ship has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any of you guys watch that BC playoff game?? Have you all forgotten. I agree with you 100% with the small exception that he would.be better then Marve or Portis due to experience.. But experience alone doesnt win football games... And neither did Glenn when it really counted... As usual. Upon further review, i really cant say id rather have Glenn starting for us in November over Marve or Portis because Marve would have had more time in the system and with the players and as #2 (if brohm doesnt re-sign) would have been more game ready.. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's sad how long all those kickers played for. The kickers now have much better percentages. Back then there wasn't enough legit competition. Now the league is much stronger in the kicking game percentage wise. Under 80% now just doesn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
