bearpants Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think its a good trade. Nichols is Drew Willy light. 7th round picks are usually Canadian born water boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolby Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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. rebusrankin, bearpants, Blue-urns and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Satatus Quo wasn't working at all......something had to be done.

rebusrankin Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I castigate him for his shortcomings, so I have to give Walters credit for a good move such as this. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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 SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Khari Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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!

M.O.A.B. Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Peach would have been around all year anyways. He's had a solid season and would rotate nicely if we upgraded. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
