2 bye weeks in the first 6 weeks....that's brutal

Gauthier is still a solid Special teamer though. He does bring value and can fill in at LB in emergency in game situations.

Maybe it's a 1 day so he can retire....

Lawler and Schoen will be wearing blue and gold in 2025.

I'm not saying he didn't do "fairly well". I'm saying he was a solid qb who for whatever reason could never get over the hump. In the one GC game he played in, he scored zero touchdowns. Mitchell threw the lone TD for stamps that game. He was benched the next playoff game he played in after posting a league best 14-4 record. How is that not the definition of coming up short in almost every big game?

agreed. That pass to Darvin Adams down the sideline just over top of Robertson was a thing of beauty!

sure. His full body of work will show you that he comes up short in almost every big game he's ever played in (in the CFL). That's a solid amount. But with him and Rose on the DL they'll be very good.

not really. By the end of his career, that was his MO. Solid QB but not someone who is going to lead you to a GC victory.

Meh...it's probably a wash. Both are qb journeymen. I'm not sure if I just forgot about this, or never knew in the first place. But apparently in 2019 after Nichols went down the bombers tried to get Glenn out of retirement. But he declined. apparently he did. Stats say he was 2 for 4 for 16yrds.

I'd be shocked if Ott doesn't lock him up before then.

The WR market will be reset this year. No one is going to get a big pay day.

Don't mind these signings. Both solid role players and if Wilson can stay healthy (big ask at this point) he can be a game changer.

**** the healthy QB getting a chance.....the real crime was Bradys use. YES I'M BEATING A DEAD HORSE!!!!!

Hope so

keeping in mind he also told the coaches he couldn't grip the ball properly. Which just makes the plays that followed even more enraging.

If you're looking at it like you HAVE to replace an Allstar NAT, sure you don't let him walk. But I don't see the need to replace an allstar nat at that specific position. The cost compared to a replacement vs the realistic production just doesn't make sense imo. Spending a lot of cap space on a position like that would be a huge mistake. specifically because finding a field side corner has never really been an issue with this management. I don't expect it to start being one now. Keeping in mind that if he never started a single game last year our ratio remains fine...I just don't see the need unless his $$ makes sense.

generally i'd agree. But I think the 1 position you can let them walk is CB. Especially Field side. He's not at all irreplaceable as an athlete and without him in the lineup even last year our ratio is just fine.

Willie back for 1 more

What are the chances Alford comes back?

They wouldn't have hosted 3 straight WF.

Keep in mind after his 2nd season he was injured. That may have played a role.

Schoen doesn't have the quickness like those guys. He's close, but in that environment close isnt good enough. I'm not saying he wouldn't succeed in the NFL, I'm just saying i understand why he isn't in the NFL.

Schoen had plenty of opportunity down south. Some guys just don't fit. He's not a NFL wr. That's not to say he's a bad WR just that he doesn't have what NFL teams look for when it comes to that position. He's been unbelievable in the CFL partly due to his use of the waggle. Wilson does to a certain extent. But I'm willing to bet we see him in 2025 in Blue and Gold.

Darvin you're right....the others are kinda muddy a bit. They offered them $$, but the players wanted something else/more. So I don't know how you file that away...under moving on....or under something else. But if the players had still wanted to be here Harris and Jeffcoat anyway, would have been. But yeah I do generally agree. I think they've done a decent job from bringing in younger guys. They just need to work on replacing a few more/giving young guys a shot. With Thomas...I truly think the loss of Lawson played a big role in him getting the playing time he did. I don't think Thomas will be back next season, but I've been saying that since 2019. soooooo

He seems to be. Maybe a bit under qualified for his current position...but you didn't hear that from me lol
