Bomber app notification just said they are going to announce a trade shortly?

Better than what we have. Can we start him Sunday?

Well I gotta say in a week where we were starting to doubt our management they at least are showing they refuse to give up...

 

Sign Walker - not great, but an area of need and can contribute...

Trade for Nichols - see above...

front runners to sign Lemon - fingers crossed on this one...

A 7th?  Now we can't get (next) next year's Billy Pavalopolous!  You screwed us again Walters!

I think its a good trade. Nichols is Drew Willy light.

 

7th round picks are usually Canadian born water boys.

Biggest thing for me is that it tells the team "the season isn't over. We haven't given up, and neither should you..."

Wikipedia is updated already.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Nichols

Yeah, someone also put his Position as Dickwad.

IT DOES! Rotflmao I took a screen shot to have it before it gets changed!

Great trade!  Nichols may not be great but he can win ugly games and is good enough to beat Sask. in the Banjo Bowl.  Good chance the Bombers can now keep pace for the final playoff spot and rid themselves of Brohm once and for all.

Please release Brohm immediately and this will be the best QBing news in a while.

as much as it would be nice to relate him, they can't. That is until Nichols learns the play book....patience my friend.

Yes they can.

He's no elite guy, but he is a proven starter, knows the league, the teams, and the schemes that defences run and what to look for so is far better than our two rookies (Marve and Davis) and will allow us a chance to win and actually run a similar offence to what we did with Willy when we had some success.

 

Still needs tweaking, and maybe we can do that more with a veteran presence as opposed to quarterbacks still learning the CFL game. 

I would hope too that they don't give up on Marve and this may allow him to learn and develop more at the least as a third stringer when Willy comes back, or battle a new guy come spring.

 

If Picard comes back this weekend and plays with fire against old mates (maybe he has been nicked all year and thus was sub par as he played well first few games) Adams back in at reciever and a mix of Marshall, Walker used to his strengths and the continued improvement of the defence we may just turn it around.

 

And if they add a Lemon and a dash of Jasper our defence will be even better than anything we have putting out to date.

Maybe they can even get a bit Wild too

Satatus Quo wasn't working at all......something had to be done.  Very good move in a area of critical need, without giving up much futures......

I castigate him for his shortcomings, so I have to give Walters credit for a good move such as this.

I don't like Nichols, but he's an upgrade over Brohm/Marve and we didn't have to pay much to get him (I suspect he was about to get released by the Esks anyway). Good to see we're not sitting around doing nothing.

ah yes...forgot about Wild. Things could be looking up. And I don't think that comments about desperation and losing faith in "all" our quartebacks is soley true.

 

A good team/GM will do whatever they can to try and upgrade during the season and due to injuries, and acquiring Nichols is an upgrade to what we can field at the moment at the QB position so I applaud Walters for this and doing what he could, with what was available to be given up. 

 

Plus, he will be a more than adequate back-up to Willy moving forward while we develop a 3rd stringer to hopefully push, or supplant Willy down the road...ala Harris in Toronto has been groomed

I hope this news will boost the confidence of the club. Now they can plan Brohm's farewell party.

Upgrade, not a saviour but at least he gives us a chance to win games when our chance with the current crop of QB's was zilch! Walters is trying and I apologize for every bad thought I had towards him these last few weeks

I hope this news will boost the confidence of the club. Now they can plan Brohm's farewell party.

I'm OK with this move. 7th round in 2017 is very cheap and pretty sure most will forget at 2017 CFL draft why we dont have 7th rnd pick.

 

I guess the expected changes will be:

 

IN:

Nicholls,

Simmons,

Walker,

Lemon

Adams

 

OUT:

Brohm (will be released later this week? )

Littlejohn

T.Thomas

Peach (will be released too)

Gordon

Apparently Peach’s salary is now guaranteed for the rest of the season, so he’ll be here all year. 

Peach would have been around all year anyways. He's had a solid season and would rotate nicely if we upgraded.

 

I hope this news will boost the confidence of the club. Now they can plan Brohm's farewell party.

 

 

Lawless is tweeting that Marve is hurt so the party won't be happening just yet.

Good lord, I can't believe I'm actually taking a 6 hour bus ride to watch Brian Brohm throw a football around.

QB situation with #bombers is fluid. Brohm, Davis and Nicholls will get reps. Job up for grabs? #bn #cfl

It's more shot put type action rather than an actual throw ..
