Wasting cap space on players your coach won't even use makes a lot of sense.

No it does matter what the coach thinks of them. But the coach grade of a player isn't the sole decider of whether they are signed/ brought in for a look.
September 8, 20186 yr Author comment_354142 Almost near total collapse of a defending championship team. Big story here but TSN will dance around it.

That's what professionals do, they put the good of the team before their own personal feelings.

The question was why did Popp sign Carter if he knew Trestman hated him? I agree with you, you're arguing against the wrong poster.

You indicated that it doesn't matter what a coach thinks if the GM believes bringing in a player will help the team even if the coach doesn't want him. That"s what I responded too.

Call it the Argo Bounce or whatever but that Argo team had good chemistry. They played well as a team and all the parts worked well together. They got hot at the right time and a lot of that is Ricky Ray and the ability of Trestman to manage a football game. None of that chemistry is on display this year because Ricky Ray and some other key components are gone. It's Toronto. They'll find a way. They always do.

And I ain't talking Riders.

September 9, 20186 yr comment_354761 Lots of focus on Osh's mistakes this year... but Trestman is coaching like a total rookie. Must be a mess with offensive play calling - Trestman, Condell and Calvillo - their game planning does not look like a Condell game at all... Wonder if he'd be interested in an HC position...?
