Quarterback controversy?
So you're saying you wouldn't want two bonafide CFL QBs? That'd be a dream. That's one reason Calgary has been so successful.And it's nothing against Willy; he's great. But it sure would be nice to see Brohm succeed as well. Nothing wrong with two bonafide QBs. But that doesn't necessarily mean a controversy. Look at Calgary. BLM and Tate, both legit. No controversy because the roles are defined. That's what I want here - defined roles.

Quarterback controversy?
Kind of blows me away that people would even be open to the idea of a controversy, to be honest. I think we've suffered for so long without a QB that it's like we don't want to believe we've got one. Even the elite QBs have bad days and as far as I'm concerned, Drew Willy is in the class of the future elite in this league. That doesn't mean he's going to be perfect, but it does mean he's going to be our starter for a looooong time.

Quarterback controversy?
If Willy is healthy, Brohm doesn't start. That's the story today, tomorrow and for the foreseeable future.

Should The Bombers Play 3 RBs At A Time To Help Protect The QB?
Our offense will be rejuvenated as soon as we start scheming to have a shortstop in the backfield.

Grigsby Released!
From what I heard yesterday, he's right. Apparently, Grigsby wasn't too popular.

Anyone want free tickets?
I have some tickets to this weekend's game and I won't be using them. If anyone wants them, just let me know and I'll run through whatever the process is to send you paper copies. They're section ... 215, I think? I always forget.

Not sure if serious ...

Troy Smith Released
Bender is such a putz.

Grigsby Released!
Also interesting from that press conference - they cut out Friesen's stupid question at the end.
-
Grigsby Released!
As for why they didn't trade Grigsby ... here's what needs to be considered Grigsby ASKED to be cut. If rival teams were asked about a trade, the answer is simple - why would they give up assets when they KNOW the Bombers will cut him today knowing they wouldn't dare risk their reputation with agents and players by cutting Grigsby AFTER today which would render him ineligible to play in the 2014 season.

Grigsby Released!
If he's healthy, why not? He busted his butt when the team stunk. and he was really good. Other than when he quit on them.

Grigsby Released!
I honestly have about 73 items on my desk that I would prefer as a representative of my opinion on the Bombers instead of Paul Friesen.

Grigsby Released!
Suber revealed himself as a braindead idiot earlier this season after he tweeted about him being benched because Winnipeg didn't want to play the best players. He just happened to delete it quick enough and it happened late enough at night for nobody to pick it up and run with it. Except Grigsby ... who tripped over it and fell down before he got anywhere.

Grigsby Released!
He was trying to be clever and imply Grigsby has the most catches on the team. But he doesn't.
-
Grigsby Released!
I forget the exact wording he used, but he tweeted something over the weekend about how people need to understand a running back can't do anything when he's playing 1 against 12.

Grigsby Released!
What on earth does one have to do with the other?

Grigsby Released!
SIGN JOSEPH RANDLE

Grigsby Released!
His Twitter comments over the weekend MAY have had something to do with it ...

Kyle Walters
Not going to bother grading things out. I agree with a lot of what you're saying. Here are my thoughts ... Walters, more than any GM we've had in recent times, has his finger on the pulse of the league. He understands the CFL and I'm sure he's got up to date opinions and information on nearly every player currently on a roster. He has done a good job of bringing in established talent in various capacities. Moves like Randle and Stoudermire, incredibly underrated moves to make for a GM and that impressed me. I also love his dedication to the draft and am very excited to see what talent he provides our roster from that pipeline going forward. As for the negative stuff ... I think he's a bit too fast and loose with dealing away draft picks (really don't like that Brohm trade) and to me, he definitely failed in his first season of import recruiting. Do I want him back? Absolutely.

New coordinators for 2015?
I think most people (myself included) just base their preferences on who seems to be on a successful staff, have a good mentor in front of them, etc. I'm curious - what do you know that makes you say Jackson is too early into his career? Or that Shivers is the same?
-
New coordinators for 2015?
Who says Zach Anderson is an undersized DT? Dude is a powerlifter and is easily pushing 300 pounds. He just also happens to be fast as well.
-
New coordinators for 2015?
Good question, but I wouldn't expect him to give any other kind of answer at this point. He can't afford to pigeon hole himself.

Keepers For 2015
Absolutely Zach Anderson, JFG, Sherman, Derek Jones, Neufeld, Briggs ... Zach Anderson is so underrated and ANY competent NI talent that we have under contract should be back.
