Jpan85 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Wonder if they will have a ring of honor and BB hall of fame. With the best of the best up for ring induction. Because there must be at this point about 50 guys in BB hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be honoured while keeping the number in circulation. SPuDS and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that's the Mount Rushmore of Blue Bombers. If you do one per game, add guys like Blink, Brown, Murphy, Jacobs, Brock, Battle, Jones etc. wbbfan and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) I think players from the older eras should go first just out of respect for the past. Fritz Hansen, Russ Rebholz, Jack Jacobs Tom Casey, George Trafton, Bud Grant, Herb Gray, Frank Rigney, Ken Ploen, Leo Lewis, Ernie Pitts, Norm Rauhaus, etc, Edited May 6, 2016 by iso_55 Fatty Liver, Fred C Dobbs and Rod Black 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that modern players should be honoured for sure. But the guys that came before them need to be recognized so modern fans know who these players are. That's the worst part of the CFL & the Blue Bombers themselves.... they don't honour the past like they should. The NFL is great on remembering & honouring former greats. They live on in NFL Films. The CFL never did that which is really unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 where would you guys place Matt Dunnigan? I'm trying hard to think of what he really did in his time here, obviously that big 700 yard passing game, but most of his success came on other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 He had that monster passing game in 1993 for the Bombers but when I think of Dunigan, I think of him more as an Eskimo as he won the GC with them in 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
