September 20, 20177 yr comment_292472 Honestly the simplest explanation to me is that the team wasn't nearly as high on Thorpe as posters around here were. Will it work out? I dunno but the guy wasn't on the game day roster much so in theory it's a position that they should be able to replace. Granted they haven't shown a lot of ability to bring in rookie receivers thus far, but hey, sooner or later they will right?

Other teams gearing up for the playoffs appear to be subscribing to this. The Bombers? Yes I am sure you are correct. The Bombers have clearly given up on the season and the best we can hope for now is a good draft pick.

Id imagine they didnt want to release him but he asked for it so what can you do. It sucks because i agree with your other post about them wanting him here for a couple years but when a guy asks for a release, not much you can do. Edited September 20, 20177 yr by Goalie
September 20, 20177 yr comment_292486 Kelly Moore on CJOB just reported that he requested his release. He was frustrated with not getting onto the game day roster.

September 20, 20177 yr comment_292499 Hate this. He never should have been taken out of the lineup in the first place. I hope Lankford's play in the offence will prove me wrong.
September 20, 20177 yr comment_292500 I get MIKE is our supreme leader and all that but for him of all people to say someone else is being condescending is a joke.

It would be nice if Thorpe came back for T.C. next year and gave it another go but it seems the Bombers are not inclined to give ex-players a second shot.

OMG time to panic cuz a guy on the PR was let go. Fair enough. How would you suggest the person who submitted the original post read this? I love sarcasm, I think it's one of the funniest humor forms around but I am constantly learning when to use it and when not to and no where near perfect that's for sure. My rule: if I give it out, I need to take it in.

That's what I said. Excellent interpretation. I don't know what's happened to this site lately but the sniping is basically eliminating the possibility of any discussion. I never thought a winning team would make things worse, but it has somehow.

I guess.. As an example.. To those who come here after a loss and act like its the end of the world. Edited September 20, 20177 yr by Goalie

I have to think this is referring to Khalil Bass. Why would the Bombers want to bring in a former and disgruntled player who would likely wind up in the same situation here as the team from which he just requested his release? There's nothing at the moment indicating Thorpe couldn't be back for TC in 2018.
September 20, 20177 yr comment_292511 He was on the PR, so maybe another team came to sign him? Bombers probably couldn't fit him in, so they let him go.
September 20, 20177 yr comment_292513 Good import receivers are not that hard to come by despite the Bombers' difficulties in finding a dominant one, so lets wait and see if Hamilton or another CFL team picks him up. For me, this may be more proof about O'Shea's unwillingness to change when change is due. Before the flak starts, consider how it has taken in the past to get rid of obvious deadwood. That proposed trade with (ugh) the riders about shipping Nevis off for a receiver sounds more attractive now.

September 20, 20177 yr comment_292522 Last thing I will say on this topic. I liked Thorpe.. I thought he was very good. I thought it was BS that he sat while Lankford played but. Im not the guy making those decisions. Those decisions are made by those who have us sitting at 8 and 3. Its sucks but.. It is what it is.
September 20, 20177 yr comment_292525 The frustrating thing for me is that Thorpe is the best rookie receiver, by a mile, this regime has brought aboard in 4 years and they let him walk.

Ok not the last thing but he is also the type of receiver who is legit made for the Lapo 4 5 yard pass YAC O.
