  1. Joey Elliott still played better than Hall did. yeah that 52-0 loss to the Riders was a great example of that too... Give it up already... Elliott's gone. So why keep bringing him up? It's over. I've explained this before, until he's been adequately replaced it's worth bringing up. He has been. Hall is better.
  2. I'd like to see us acquire Collaros for a 7th rounder and then hire Barker to be our GM
  3. Sorry what happened to Sims Walker?
  4. Joey Elliott still played better than Hall did. No way
  5. Why? What in Tim Burke's body of work supports the concept that he's a good HC? Acknowledging to the media that he has bad players? No. That speaks to the fact that he is a poor leader that leans on crutches, has not shown capable of coaching talent up, nor developing scheme around your talent. Give him the '01 Bombers and I'd bet he'd coach them to a losing record. How so? The '01 Bombers had 14 wins and Burke had 3 wins with this team. So by my calculations 14+3 = 17 and that team would have went 17-1, a CFL record.
  6. I'd list them as: 1. Dave Dickenson 2. Chris Jones 3. Marcel Bellefeuille 4. Tom Higgins 5. Khari Jones 6. Kavis Reed 7. Paul Lapolice 8. Doug Berry I'm sure there are others, but those come to mind. Rick Campbell is on that list somewhere, and probably close to the top. He knows the Eskimo Way.
  7. I'm personally not a big fan of Kavis, he's just a little too over-the-top. I'd rather look at other options.

    If the Als are able to go from Calvillo to a new star QB over the course of half a season.... well that's just not fair.
  9. Meanwhile the Bombers are sitting around with their thumbs up their butts
  10. I guess this would be a good time to mention that if Mack always listened to Walters, we'd have Edem and Pasztor over Mulumba and Pencer but we'd also have Mitchell over Muamba. Well we wouldn't really have Pasztor now would we, considering he's the starting right tackle for the Jaguars.

    Mike Quinn gets my vote
  12. That the source is very high is quite revealing. Yeah well, that's like, your opinion, man
  13. Seems really unbelievable but I love Dunigan so I'm on board. Dunigan for GM, Khari for HC... when are they hiring Stegall? And what is TSN going to do?? Stay tuned for he answers to hese questions and more!
  14. Terrible comparison. Buono is a hall of fame coach and gm, Walters is acting GM of a failing organization. Miller would be irresponsible to give Walters the same freedom as Buono gets.
  15. Ok. Miller hasn't made any coaching or player decisions (that we know of) so still not sure where he has done an about-face.
  16. Pretty sure? Let's see the quote then.
  17. Don't blame Miller. The Board knew exactly what they were getting when they hired him. He is a hands-on guy, he's not just going to sit in the background. If you don't like it, blame the board for hiring him, don't blame Miller for doing exactly what he said he'd do.
  18. I get that in business you work with whom you know and trust. And although I know Wade part-owns Elite, who knows -- maybe it will be Fish who gets paid by the BB, not Elite Performance. That would be reasonable in my opinion, optics notwithstanding. To me what is more troubling is the about-face on meddling in football ops. Two months ago he said he wasn't going to. Now he is. If he wanted to be GM why didn't he lobby for that job? He has always maintained that he would be involved in football decisions... there has been no about-face.
  19. I thought our state of the art stadium with its state of the art training facilities and therapy rooms was supposed to change all that? It probably would have if the organization hadn't turned into the biggest gong show the CFL has seen in a decade
  20. So where would these guys get the news about Winnipeg being so bad? Most of the guys that come up readily admit they know nothing about the CFL or Canada until they get here. Is some agent poisoning the well? When they come to Canada, they pretty much are at the end of their professional ropes as their NFL dreams are either dead or on hold, and so it would be a case of Beggars can't be choosers, I would think. Players talk to each other. Most guys coming up to the CFL know someone up here already
  21. But the fans and media say he's terrible so he must be Gimme a break. Mack was a terrible GM. His approach to free agency, trading with other teams, and handling the QB position we're all below average. He also made poor coaching hirings and firings and last time I checked, had a losing record as commander. Stats may be for losers but according to the stats, Mack is a loser. If you say so it must be true. Because you're the expert. What was our record under Joe Mack? One Grey Cup appearance in 3 seasons... .333 Grey Cup appearance percentage. Remarkable really, unmatched by any GM not named Popp
