iso_55 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Nah, would have lame nicknames for just about everyone. The guy has a huge ego. He could never just post like everyone else. He thinks his nicknames are funny & clever when they're just pathetic from a guy who was a failed radio jock.

blueandgoldguy Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Root said: I don't think it makes much diff whether Wade meddles in football ops or keeps selling tickets & advertising. None of the group of Miller, Walters, O'Shea have really distinguished themselves as quality football men. Earnest? Yes! Hard-Working? Probably, although questions now abound on the country club atmosphere during bomber training camp and practices. S So nothing really new here. Lyle Bauer interfered all the time. Miller trained under Bauer. End of very short story! Did Miller train under Bauer? He was on the team, yes, but I won't recall Bauer training him in a management-type role.

blueandgoldguy Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Rielly was probably hit more frequently and injured more often than Willy in his first few seasons with the Esks and he has bounced back a few times to become one of the best, if not the best, quarterbacks in the league. Guy is a winner. Some players are just more resilient than others. TBURGESS, Fatty Liver, Dee Urban Hermit and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would he feel if the Bomber Board started meddling in his job as President? #organizationindeaththrows? Disagree, somebody with football knowledge has to force O'Shea to make changes if he won't make them himself. Not good to have upper management forcing these kinds of decisions but I don't think Wade expected that O'Shea would handle the QB situation as badly as he has. Wade feels the pressure to sell seats and the losing record the last couple of years has probably cost the Bombers millions in lost revenue. blitzmore and Stickem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really wanted to sell tickets he'd have made a head coaching change last November instead of perhaps mid season. O'Shea was Dead Man Walking even before then.

If it comes down to Miller or Walters having to order O'Shea to bench Willy, then for sure we need a new head coach, and as soon as a temporary replacement can be found.

Assuming the season continues at it is and O'Shea is fired, what quality candidates will want to come here if they know Miller may interfere in the decision - making process.

I would argue any bridges Miller burns by ordering O'Shea around now were burnt quite a long time ago unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J5V Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 16 hours ago, Mike said: I do NOT want us getting rid of Willy until we have a viable alternative on our roster. I also don't understand why anyone cares how much money he is making. It has nothing to do with the issue. You're not paying him, so who cares. It's not like his contract is preventing us from doing anything else. If we needed flexibility to acquire another franchise QB to give 400k, you cut Willy as soon as you have the other one locked up. Like Desjardin did with Harris and Burris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem that O'Shea has firmly tied his fate to Willy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Pretty obvious considering the other options. Anyone check out a practice this year? If not. You should and watch willy and Nichols. There is a reason willy is starting. It's because Nichols sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 As an in-game backup, sure let's roll with Nichols. If I had to pick a new starter for a week with advance notice, I'm rolling with Davis. blitzmore, Logan007, Stickem and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not the future, he has had many times in Edmonton to grab starters job, he isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
