2016 re-draft
What part of it is? Please ask someone outside of Winnipeg and see if they agree with you.

2016 re-draft
We selected Faith, knowing that his ceiling wasn't as high as other guys in the draft. He was supposed to have a high floor, and was selected to fill a need immediately. There's no reason he shouldn't be rotating in sporadically like Corney does.

2016 re-draft
Him retiring had nothing to do with it. He was a bad pick from the start, and he wasn't a good player. He was a bust regardless of his decision to retire.

2016 re-draft
You're right, there's no point in even discussing these things. Why have a fan forum? The GM knows everything and there's nothing to discuss, right? I mean Garrett Waggoner was a great draft pick. Not every move a GM Or HC makes is going to be perfect. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that, if you take off your blue and gold goggles you'll realize that.

Game day thread: Ottawa QuarterBLACKS vs Bomber BYES
We should win this game fairly easily, but I'm just worried about staying sharp and healthy.

2016 re-draft
No they don't, but in this case they do. He's had zero impact, for the few plays he's actually been on the field. This is a team that starts Sam Hurl, if he had the ability to rotate in and make a contribution I promise you that he would. Especially given our current predicament with an injured Westerman.

2016 re-draft
Played well enough? The guy hasn't made a tackle, is usually a healthy scratch and doesn't see the field even if he plays. Quite frankly, I'd be thrilled if he ever became a Jake Thomas but that's not going to happen.

2016 re-draft
Yup. I didn't like the pick to begin with, and his upside was limited. The best part about him was that he was supposed to be CFL ready. Well he's not good enough to get on the field. He won't do any better than Waggoner did for us.

2016 re-draft
Fair enough, but much like Waggoner, Ekakitie doesn't look like a good pick. Waggoner never should've been picked either, I said for years that he was the next Shomari Williams and that ended up being generous. We need to do better with our high picks. Most people here were against the Ekakitie pick.

CFL Releasing a Mobile Game
Not to mention the Arena Football league has had multiple games released as well.

2016 re-draft
The issue with Loffler is that his body won't hold up long term.

Bombers Release Thorpe
He never should've been taken out of the lineup to begin with.

Westerman Out For Season
Not a chance in hell do we mess with that O-line.

Westerman Out For Season
Signing Mulumba, who I'm not sure has any other options at this point or trading for a guy like Capicotti is a must at this point.

He's not going to improve this year.

Durant looks like Burris did toward the end of his Calgary career. Of course, Burris had a last career surge with the Ticats & RedBlacks. It'll be interesting to see how Durant does next year when he probably goes into the season as a backup somewhere.

Bomber Bye Week: The Kavis Reed Short Rope Edition
Should've just kept Kevin Glenn or given Vernon Adams a shot.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
I'm no Tate fan, but he was far better than the other 3. He actually played decent. I wonder if there's any chance Ottawa can talk Burris into coming out of retirement and playing for them.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but IF we can still healthy and play the way we have, there's no reason this shouldn't be our year.

Hurt his shoulder in the second and never returned.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Not to mention captain check down Willy was in the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Riders end up coming here for the WSF. That would be quite the game.

Ridirts @ Tabbies: Cellar Bowl
To me, Matt Nichols has been the best QB in the CFL this year.

argo/shmoes/lions/stamps
I wouldn't have called either of those flags. Boy, the Esks sure are imploding.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Eric Rogers should be cleared to play soon, I wonder if he'll go back to the Stamps or if we'd have a shot at him. Hes right up there with Derel Walker as the best receiver in the league if he comes back.
