Quite accurate. Last year was a clearinghouse. This year it's about pieces.

They must be better. Besides, it takes lots of skills to comb over other teams' rosters. The last 6 or 7 QBs the Riders have signed were from other CFL teams.

In fact, I don't think there has ever been a year where Pederson doesn't predict a great team. I would like to know in what dream world he sees a comparison between Jones and Bellichek? hey in his world 12 wins is a down season for the Riders, Pederson there is showing a lack of faith in the regime.

February 3, 20178 yr comment_246676 While this is all a bit comical it's not like neg listing a washed up QB is earth shattering news. Doing it after insulting and kicking Durant to the curb is what makes this all so sad (for Rider fans). It's clearer by the second that Jones has no plan at all and is just hoping to get lucky with one of the twelve no-name QBs on his roster. And if it happens, his thick ego-filled chest will puff out even further while he yells "told you so", which won't ever change the part where he had no plan and was hoping on blind luck.

Reading riderfans.... it looks like most people are out of patience with Jones.... As one person suggested ... If you are going to neg list a NFL dropout... why not Manziel?
February 3, 20178 yr comment_246685 Never mind his epic Wonderlic score, or the lousy numbers, or the time away from the game....perhaps it is all about the intangibles...... In 6 years, Young earned $34 million salary during his career in the NFL, as well as 30 million in endorsement deals with Reebok, Campbell's Soup, Madden NFL, Vizio and the National Dairy Council. In January 2014, Young filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Houston federal bankruptcy court. During one Titans game, he threw his shoulder pads into the stands and then had an post-game altercation with Jeff Fisher in the dressing room.
February 3, 20178 yr comment_246689 Gotta think....with each passing day.....DD is loving life in La Belle Province more and more.....
February 3, 20178 yr comment_246691 Riders will keep Young stashed on that neg list for some time......in case they need any financial advice....

That said Id want him less then young. vince young can move his feet. Jamarcus russel needs some one to shuffle him along the buffet line. 22 hours ago, Dr. Blue said: haha wow. Just when you think he cant get any worse.
February 3, 20178 yr comment_246710 I really wish people would stop talking about the rod, and start treating him like the twitter troll that he is. As in ignore ignore ignore.

I think you're closer to the truth then joking on what motivates Jones. When he told Dickenson to win with some class what he really was saying was I want to be the winner not you so screw you classless person. I'll never forget Dickenson's face, 'what just happened here?' Jones is the same guy who publicly thinks handshakes at the end of games is pointless, waste of time, it's just a formality, going through the motions. #jerkface He could lead a team to 18-0 record with a grey cup in hand and I still wouldn't want the guy. He's good fit with Sask. He'd look good in TO as well.

Quite accurate. Last year was a clearinghouse. This year it's about pieces. in fairness it was in response to my post about IF a trade for a QB is going to happen, it won't happen until after the FA market opens up. If they can pick up a few NI's then trading off their draft picks becomes a lot more feasible. If they get outbid or come up empty then they need to hang onto those picks and that pretty much eliminates anything of value they can offer in a trade outside of their top end receivers which I think is only part of the equation
