    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.

Weird QB market.  Nichols for a 7th.  Tate for a 5th.  Adams for a 1st.  Willy for a 1st, 3rd and an all-star DB.

Nichols is the best of the bunch currently, yet commanded the least in return.  Was also the only one who was a pending FA.

Hard value trades if a consistent rate can't be established.

 

Timing is everything.

    Who was the luckiest QB in the CFL last season? Rakeem Cato, of course.

    QBs by % of interceptable passes that WERE picked off #Details

    - courtesy of Derek Taylor

    First things first, love the analysis Derek Taylor is doing.  Not sure how he gets his numbers, if he has a single source, if he's going over the tape from every game played last year or teams are providing him with this, but no matter.  It's great.

    Second, using those numbers at face value (which oddly enough weren't always whole numbers when the math was done, maybe some borderline passes were counted as half interceptable?) and calculating through, this would be the 2016 percentage of interceptable balls per total passes thrown:

    Cato - 7.7%

    Masoli - 5.4%

    Burris - 4.9%

    Ray - 4.5%

    Jennings - 4.3%

    Willy - 4.2%

    Glenn - 4.1%

    Nichols - 3.6%

    Durant - 3.4%

    Collaros - 3.2%

    Mitchell - 2.5%

    Reilly - 2.2%

    Harris - 2.1%

    Apologies for the lack of fancy colours and formatting.

    So Cato is both the luckiest and the worst.

    Last time Drew Tate had any meaningful reps he blamed Dave Dickenson for why he didn't play well.  He threw 0 TDs and 2 INTs last year.  He's a well-known headcase.  I don't see the appeal.  Maybe a few years ago, sure.

    Name recognition always will have sway.

    It's been so long since he played well in a game it's hard to assess if he's still capable.

    He's bringing his existing contract over to Ottawa, so this feels like Calgary freeing up some cap space as much as Ottawa getting insurance.

    ...and avoiding a $40k roster bonus that was due next week...

    Via Dave Naylor:

    "Am told that ex-Montreal Alouette GM Jim Popp is sitting down low at the Leafs game tonight. He lives in North Carolina ... why is he here?"

    would be interesting if he takes over in the big smoke. Got a feeling his first order of business would be calling up Reed and inquiring about Adams, and offer the als Toronto's 2018 1st lol

    From Madani:

    "Best story I've heard from Argos GM search: a candidate was asked if he'd consider Rex Ryan to be coach! REX! Just imagine the bike rides... https://t.co/HwPigJXX6y"

    Well, Rogers did want to buy the Bills. This would be Toronto's consolation prize. Things would be interesting if Rex Ryan was Head Coach.
