He's ready to go and play because of the team around him. Not because he's been developed. How has Arbuckle faired since leaving? Or basically any other back up from CGY? It takes more than a QB to win. Dickenson was a part of developing that team over the years. and then became a HC of a championship calibre team when Huff stepped down. He didn't have to start from scratch like Lapo has.

I generally agree with your takes on Lapo. But this isn't at all a fair comparison lol. Dickenson has never had to take over a Dumpster fire team. Comparing what CGY is (was?) and what Lapo has had to work with just isn't fair. It's bordering on apples to oranges imo.

Did I just go through most of this thread....yes I did. Below (and one above) are some of my favorites, some because they're spot on others because they aged like milk out in the sun! Man how things have changed!!

Some beauty comments in here. Hard to believe it was 6 years ago already though.

I love the comment at half time...."I'm sure those are legal shoes he's wearing now".....

This is what I was gonna say. Sure he helped win a grey cup, but without Richie Halls defence it never would have happened. It wasn't like the O was lighting it up in the playoffs. And when you look at what the O is doing this year, with essentially the same talent from the playoffs in 2019....there's one missing piece....obviously it's hard to compare it apples to apples but I'm also not sure this is what it would have looked like if Lapo was still here.

Any GM is going to listen the the HC in terms of what players they would like. This isn't unique to either Lapo or Marcel. I'm not sure there will ever be a HC that has a good record after 3 years of coaching garbage teams. I'm not saying lapo is a good HC, just that I'm not sure anyone would have done much better in those circumstances.

Argos you're still in a playoff spot and you're looking good, the depth at qb will only help you for the rest of the year.... Argos: "hold my beer"...

He might drag them into the playoffs. It wouldn't surprise me.

Im not sure that word means what you think it means.

It's close. I remember during TC he was catching some flack around here. And I never understood it. The guy just produces.

Teams, including the criders don't want to play anymore in the 4th quarter.

I hope it's that cold. But it likely won't be. December especially early have been much more mild lately.

3 passing TDs.....2 since the first drive of the first game!!! These stats just blow my mind.

Reminder that teams CAN dress 3 qb's still.

That hit on kongbo was hard. Happened right in front of me and I can't believe he got up.

That hit on Kongbo was violent....I can't believe he got up honestly.

Watching the limp he had on the sideline in Edm that was my thought too.

Well we have a back up for Oliveira already in Augustine...and remember they drafted Borsa (Back to school). So it looks like the plan is to keep the RB a National....for now anyways.

That's a tough questions. Remember that what you're really asking is, if he's not going to be as good as one of the greatest ever should they go another way?....kinda makes it hard on Oliveira.

I don't think anyone who was going to choose the Jets considered the Bomber game in the first place.

Exactly. The Jets only control so much especially with the untouchable and constant "Next Year" Stanley Cup Champion Leafs playing on the same day. This schedule mix up doesn't bother me at all. The Bomber game is going to be way more fun and the Jets still have dozens of home games left. Like Noeller said, easy choice.

Yeah should put confirmed to me...I suppose. The team will play it close to their chest as long as they can. Just like his appointment during TC lol.

There was no news. Just an educated guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if Adams retires after this year.
