Mr. Perfect Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 If we have the over one million dollars in cap space currently that's been speculated about recently, coupled with the Chris Greaves trade who was getting paid quite handsomely, there's no reason whatsoever that we can't have both. It's a bit of a silly question to be honest given that. We don't have a million in cap space and if you don't like the question then don't answer or respond. It's a legit question that Walters may need to consider. None of us know the Bombers true cap situation. Have the Bombers hired you to audit their books? But it's really not a legit question, hence the point that I made. It's a hypothetical question, and a silly, nonsensical one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 6 2 as a starter this year. I don't think he's better than willy but a Willy Nichols 1 2 is pretty Damn good. I'd take Henoc tho but honestly why not both. Cut brohm and Marve and there's Nichols salary really. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both.Sure it's a hypothetical question that could be legit depending on our salary cap situation. An option of both is no fun as everyone would choose that option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If none of us know the true cap situation, why are you writing about it factually in the first sentence of this post? Easy Mike. Lets not let facts get in the way of a pointless debate unlike all the other debates here, which directly impact the direction of the team.

Rod Black Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Nichols made a positive impact with the team last night. Muamba probably wouldn't sign here and if he played I'd say he could not have had the significant impact that Nichols did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Post-game comments on club's website by K Bass and JFG suggest Nichols play and leadership got the whole team fired up. Haven't seen that before with any Blue Bomber QB in recent history. Time will tell of course but what if it comes down to a choice between keeping just one of Nichols or Drew Willy?

Ducky Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Closer to 420k....Nichols for 185k and Muamba for 235k. Let's watch Nichols for a few more games before signing him long term though, okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 One good half doesn't prove anything. I dunno how in demand Nichols would be honestly. He's been around a while and we got him for a 7th or 6th rounder. He's a good backup but I'm not sure a team would make him their starter. 200 K plus bonus money for starts is what I'd offer him. Muamba Nichols Wild. .. why not all 3 really. Other teams have guys making big money. Why can't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holoman Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 The question should be what can you live without? I'd prefer Muamba over Nichols, but I can't live without proper QB depth. Willy-Nicholls-Davis? isn't a world better squad, but less that that scares the hell out of me compared to what Henoc does to opposing offences, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy-Nicholls-Davis? isn't a world better squad, but less that that scares the hell out of me compared to what Henoc does to opposing offences, Good point, we have witnessed how having a poor performance by the backup QB's effects the entire teams play negatively and yet the D has survived the entire season with a mediocre MLB and has performed adequately. The D and Hurl have been improving steadily while the O has struggled mightily with and without Willy. If the vote is for a difference maker I would have to side with Nichols. If he can eek out a .500 record in the remainder of his starts this season, he will have fulfilled my expectations of a backup QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I am betting Nichols plays it out and tests the market in Feb. Why wouldn't he? Between B.C and Sask's health concerns at QB,Burris' age in Ottawa, and depth concerns in Wpg and Mtl he might be in a good bargaining position.

Goalie Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 It may just be because he was just traded but Nichols seems pretty happy to be here, Like very happy, saying it's the happiest he's been since college really... I think there is a very real possibility that if we treat him good and make him feel like he's wanted, that he stays here. Willy,Nichols, 3rd stringer... That's pretty good QB depth for sure. Really, release Marve,Brohm and a couple others and you basically can give Nichols his 200 k plus... Release a few others and you can give Henoc his 250,000 plus also. I don't see it as an either or situation, i see it as I want both and I think theres ways to make it happen. I just don't see how we could be anywhere close to the cap, i just don't see it. The talent just isn't there yet.. we don't have many elite canadians outside of westerman really and Kohlert... Hurl might be getting paid good money but we didn't break the bank to sign him. Why not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
