it wasn't 9 tryouts with the Bombers though, just that he went to 9 different places before he found one that stuck. If you watch the CFL traditions thing they put out several years back he lists everywhere he got cut. Start at about 3:40 of this clip

you think we're going to let you back on the bandwagon though? You disowned the team and went to the esks so pardon my bluntness, but **** you, you're not a Bomber fan anymore.

Welcome to football. No qb is ever putting the ball exactly where it needs to be all the time, you sometimes, often times, need the receiver to be able to help out. The best qbs have always had receivers that make them look better because if every throw had to be perfect there would be a lot less completions than there are in the game.

Not to take away from the greatness of Cameron, but isn't his HOF from his time playing qb in college?

I don't think that's really true of Glenn at all, Glenn has just always been a guy that when he's on and can make quick reads and deliver the ball quickly he'll be good but when adversity hits and it gets to be tough going he wilts a bit. He also requires a team around him that can bring it because his limitation is that he can't will a team to perform better all by his lonesome.

Best possible result in my opinion. Made it tough on the coaches. The running backs took turns making plays and staking a claim for work, enough receivers showed up and made some catches. I thought all the qbs looked fine, Willy just needs to get the timing down but that'll come, he made good reads all the time he was in. Defensive line looked so much better than last year, linebackers should be good. DBs maybe had it rough early on but it was also pretty soft vanilla stuff back there which is just asking for a guy like Glenn to get into a groove.

Did it happen after that game in BC that TSN happened to be replaying last night? Good lord did that guy have a rough game against Arceneaux.

pffffft after an offseason as long as the CFLs any game preseason or otherwise is ******* amazing and exciting times.

and that's how it should be. Give em **** when they need it in private and don't make them worry about having to read it in the paper or hear it on the radio. Most people prefer that when there are problems they are brought to them in person.

If we do trade for him I hope the offer attempts to reset the market.

perhaps what was meant was that Bucknor was literally standing behind Randle and breathing down his neck, cause taking that statement any other way is just ludicrous. Only way Bucknor plays ahead of Randle is if they are desperate to have the NI starter there.

If they really wanted to have an element of truth to it Gainer would be under the truck like most gophers in that province wind up.

Oh I ain't judging the trade, I'm just poking at the seeming purge of everything Mack brought in by Walters.

no can do, Joe Mack drafted him so therefore he's terrible.

If you can't rely on a guy because he always seems to be on the IR then you need to cut your losses and find someone you can count on game in and game out.

I think it was just a case of the thing went straight down the ranking and didn't take into consideration how many canadians or non canadians you had or didn't have. It's just the limitations of automating it, when you're sitting there yourself and you see a decent Canadians available you make the call to draft him over someone you might have rated higher but don't need as badly as you need a good canadian. Thankfully with 9 teams in the CFL there are a lot more options to fix things after a draft. It was a lot harder when you did these drafts with 8 CFL teams and 8 fantasy teams.

Either way I'm in and I'm going to finish in 2nd place like I have in every ******* fantasy thing I've done the last few years.

Hey I at least made a ranked list for it to work off of so in essence it was kind of my picking, except it ****** me over on the Canadians a bit. I'd also like to point out that we moved the draft to a day that didn't work for me to cater to a guy who didn't even show up that day anyway.

Didn't I beat you last year with an auto picked team? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS GUY WAS EVEN AVAILABLE!!!!

Edmonton has more depth at prospect D than people think. They need top guys now but the prospect pool actually needs forwards more than anything. Their best outside the nhl prospecta are crazy assed russians who may or may not care enough to make the nhl.

This is why Rider fans are the biggest joke in the league.

Oh god I read some of that thread out of boredom and my head absolutely hurts. The amount of spin going on by some rider fans who can't accept that they might have been in error is outrageous. They're going to fly right off the earth if they aren't careful.

I think the veteran experience is quite important. Lots of guys with the physical abilities out there, but we saw how much having Milt around impacted the younger receivers coming up

Excused absence as in "I'm Andrew Harris *****, if I want the day off I get the day off"?

It's funny I was out for dinner at a pub with the game on and I found myself watching a bit of it because other people in the place seemed to actually care... it was an odd experience. Almost unsettling.
