  1. I just don't see Jackson as a coach....
  2. Harris not a potential FA. Some people thought he was but they were wrong. Which is unfortunate since he was very under utilized last season. Now just for the fun / sake of it.... what if the Bombers traded 1st rounder and some other player straight up for Harris. Would anyone be for/against this?
  3. Hey Joey Elliott might be available 17! Would you rather him or Burris?
  4. That article was simply Penton making up news and adding filler.
  5. Long term contract with a normal salary and a healthy signing bonus?
  6. I'm sure his new role as the nose tackle for our new defense will work wonders for him!

    Mobile as in able to roll out of the pocket and throw a pass....40 times are nice but not essential

    Sadly the worst decision ever was taking the knee last season..... absolutely awful.

    in terms of who was better than Calvillo without taking career length into account DIckenson and Garcia are absolutely better. I'd argue for Khari Jones being above Calvillo for a peak as well just because of what Khari did without ever having a good offensive line like the ones Montreal had. That's just taking into account guys from "recently" Obviously the lengthy career counts for something, but the dude is highly over rated just because he played for ever. Similar to Damon Allen. This is always a great topic of debate, the Art Monk debate of a guy who played above average for a long period of time vs a guy like Jim Brown who simply was lights-out outstanding for a short period of time. I think Calvillo is a great qb and definitely a HOF in the CFL and a guy who was really good. But it's so hard to back his case as the best since he had very poor showings when his team wasn't surrounded by all star players. Ricky Ray put up gawdy numbers despite having crap like Kamau Peterson..... I'd agree that Calvillo isn't the top dog, I don't think he's bad... he's in a class right next to Danny McManus and Damon Allen who are great but not the all time greats.

    I was at that game.... all I remember was lots of fans mad at Burke for going for the punt (with a horrible punt by Renaud) and also the defense completely breaking down in the 4th quarter. I also remember several other points of the game where Joey Elliott was visibly frustrated at some of the plays in Rider territory... lots of really conservative stuff. Willy looked ok that night, didn't look like a guy who was lost on the field. Wasn't really impressed with his athletic ability but he definitely made smart plays.

    johnzo is correct, i said best CFL career. Not the best qb to ever play in the CFL. The best qb that I ever saw play was Flutie followed by Dickenson and Garcia. I'm saying the guy who had the best CFL career , a guy who pretty much played his entire career in the CFL. I am not familiar with guys who played before the mid 80's so it's an honest question. Calvillo had the luxury of great players surrounding him and that's an honest point to make against him being the best all time. Flutie / Moon only played for so many years so I wouldn't really consider them. I'm thinking more so guys like Damon Allen , McManus, Austin, Ham, Ray, Nealone Greene and so forth .....

    Most Hated Football Player in the US certainly doesn't make you a bum. And it makes money for the NFL. Whether they'll admit it or not, the NFL owners must love what Sherman did yesterday. Totally disagree, the NFL is wanting the squeaky clean image. Look how they pretty much killed off any popularity with Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Chad Ochocino.... I'm sure sherman will burn out like those other guys and be flat broke by the time he's in his mid 30s.
  13. The only person who didn't think Burke was in doo doo would probably of been himself... we all knew the season was going to suck the moment they got rid of Joey Elliott and decided to continue on with Buck with zeor CFL experienced qbs as his back ups.
  14. Brandon replied to johnzo's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    no. You think Damon Allen is above him?
  15. If I start seeing guys who are 4 yards apart and trying to put players in positions that are unconventional and that don't seem to make sense... then I will once again bring out the pitchfork....
  16. It could of been the 2013 version of the longest yard!

    Best CFL QB career ever?
  18. Lol that's not a good thing. Would signing one of Burris/Collaros/Willy make it better? Imagine if we go into the new season with Hall / Boltus / Goltz combo!! If that happens I'm buying a Stamps jersey and giving up lol!
  19. Well hopefully its only a one year contract... I don't want the club paying yet another guy to sit at home...
  20. Yikes this is not the news I wanted to read. My hopes and expectations are once again lowered. I guess we will have to wait another year to see who is available at DC for us.
  21. Why would they sign him to only cut him in training camp? Why wouldn't you want him as a third stringer? He's good on short yardage , knows the league and has good athletic ability. Great move by the stamps.
  22. Calgary loses their starter yet still managed to have three qbs who are better then what we currently have
  23. Lol funny one

    those are actually good moves to make, bring in veterans so that the guys you draft have some time and less pressure to perform. They knew this was going to be a long road so why freak out when the GM is doing exactly what they said they would do? But the big free agents available we never go after. I'd like to see us do that... As far as veterans, yes, I agree. But it was Cheveldayoff preaching patience since the Jets got to Winnipeg & now suddenly it's like a light bulb went off in his head that things aren't working remaining status quo. Maybe Chipman told him to change, who knows? Hopefully we become more active on July 1st & trade to actually try to improve. Just because Winnipeg is a hockey city with knowledgeable fans doesn't give Cheveldayoff a pass to take years to build a winner. (See Edmonton). How many big trades has there been made in the NHL since the Jets returned? How could the Jets possibly sign big Free Agents or make big trades when they had huge salaries like Ron Hainsey and Nik Antropov that was killing them against the cap? Cheveldayoff was preaching patience because the Thrashers had made rash decisions and had a lot of dead weight, barely any prospects and in the past they dumped their best players and got not much in return. This isn't a video game where you can easily pluck an all star straight out of free agency or swing a trade easily.

    Boy the team sure played different tonight.... lots of offensive output despite Kane being out of the line up. It's almost like this team looked motivated and that they gave two craps on the ice tonight. As mentioned before the talent is sufficient.... the lack of focus/motivation was the big problem. Lets hope Maurice can keep the team *motivated* for the rest of the year. Oh and if anyone needs to get traded it has to be Ladd... the dude simply just can't make the plays when needed.
