Seven games isn't better than MOS first year. Knowing Miller he'll give them both new contracts. #spinningwheelsgoround&round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck was a human punching bag & was absolutely finished as a player. Nicholls gets rid of the ball faster than Buck did. He still has some football left in him. I like Nicholls behind Willy. Hope we re-sign him. coach17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichols' career stats - 29 TD, 25 INT, 3 Rush TD, 10 Fumbles, two major knee injuries Is this really the best Walters can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I look at the other backups in the league he is probably one of the best. Drew Tate is rotting on the bench in Calgary behind Mitchell. Huff never played him except the last game of the season when he started & looked fine. However, he seems happy there in his limited backup role. Travis Lulay has real injury issues with his shoulder. One hit in the wrong place & his career could be finished. Does a GM really want totake a chance with him & the money he'll want? And he'll want to be a starter. Other than Ray or Harris who would you sign? If we sign Harris then he's the starter & Willy's out. I don't think that'll happen. Do we bring in Ray as a backup at a substantially reduced price? I think it's doubtful that he would he leave Toronto to come here to backup Willy. So then, Nicholls makes sense for the Bombers to sign. Edited January 3, 2016 by iso_55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) BOD hire the President. After that, it's the President who hires the GM. The GM hires the Head Coach & the Head Coach hires the OC, DC & his assistants. Be interesting to see if The Troika can turn things around next season.

Need someone for wildcat. Just kidding... I only picked Gale because he's big and was in a good system in Toronto. I'd take a look at him but wouldn't bet the farm. Harris is the only one worth anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) The Bombers won't be going for Harris. I can see the Als going after him or with a new regime, Saskatchewan to make a splash. More than likely he signs with the Argos again.

iso_55 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 True, I had forgotten that Ray signed but Floyd seems to think there are better backup qbs out there than Nicholls. Where? If the Bombers followed Floyd's advice & signed Harris who is older by a couple of years then it would mean we would have to deal Willy as he is getting starters money. Never happen.

DR. CFL Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 The reaction around the league seems to be that teams like Sask and Edm are creating an unrealistic bubble in coaching salaries. The Cap was brought in to try and keep a balance and element of sanity to player salaries now the spend spend spend your way to winning has flowed into coaching.

I'm not talking 'backup', I'm talking about signing someone to push Willy or replace him when he gets hurt five games into the season... Harris' stats are better than Willy's, especially the TD to INT ratio. Walters would be crazy not to look at him... but he probably won't. We'll see if it was totally MB or partly Willy's happy feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 We signed Nicholls. It's a great signing Floyd. Really the best case scenario. Goalie and Mr Dee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
