    It's been proven, in this league, that if you don't have a good backup....

    The Bombers really need to kick the Riders ass sideways in their first game in the new park to set the tone for the season and send their fans off on the crazy train.  Nothing else matters.

    Riders haven't lost yet so their fans feel emboldened to venture out of their own little bubble. Won't have to wait long for them to scurry back into their holes.

you know despite the GM and HC picture unclear in Toronto they actually did quite well in the pick up vs loss department.

REC Adds:  Coombs, Fuller

REC Losses: Gurley, Hazelton, Elliott, Bates, Shaw, Spencer

You can basically add Greenwood, Van Roten, Whitaker as losses... 

Poor James Tuck didn't even get noticed as an add...

    I was just going by FA  gurley Hazelton elliott and Bates were all cut part way through the seasons. 

    I don't expect they are done either, I can see Shakir Bell in double blue, maybe they are it talks with Deane but waiting for the new GM/HC to come in a finalize and receivers as a whole might not be too hard to replace with recruiting and whomever the riders decide to part ways with

    Biggest off season acquisition this off season IMO: http://www.cfl.ca/2017/02/21/report-redblacks-acquire-drew-tate-trade-stamps/ 

    This is the biggest? A broken down QB who hasn't played meaningful minutes in 5 years? Thrown 341 passes in 5 seasons?

    Drew Tate is one of the best backup QB's in the league. He's thrown for 4670 yards and has 32 TD's to 15 Int's.  I'd take him over either of our backup QB's and it's not even close. 

    Not arguing those numbers but when is the last time he actually threw in a meaningful game?  Mitchells been pretty consistent health wise his whole career.

    That's almost 600 yds per season over 8 seasons. How could we miss out?

    Glenn was a bigger signing for Saskatchewan.

    And 600yds per season - that's in-line with what LeFevour has thrown with a missed season.

    Dollars to donuts that a trade within the division would not have been completed for a 5th rounder.

    BLM has won all the meaningful games, so Tate's not had any chances. Not sure how that's a knock against Tate.

    well 3-4 years without doing much more then sneaks could lead one to believe he's got rust and or not have it anymore.  Something tells me after being starter in 2012 then losing the #1 to Glenn (13') then BLM(14' - current) means he lost something. I believe he got injured somewhere along the way as well, perhaps that had more to do with it then anything.  but more then enough reason to doubt he still has it

    Tate to Ottawa is an interesting move... smart play Desjardins to secure some insurance for Harris... a lot of us are eating crow on Desjardins as a GM... I remember how we spoke about him when he was hired...

    Anyways... I'm curious to know how the Rider fans are spinning this... knowing a decent QB was on the market and they missed out...

    Bur really, would you prefer to live in Pile O' Bones or Ottawa? No contest, particularly with having to look and listen to Chris Jones every day.
