Interesting that we nabbed 29% of the available positions for all-stars...yet in a lot of circles are considered an inferior squad...food for thought

They should have just given nods to the entire bombers offensive line.

Yes, but who can digest that?

Well if you don't give props to the Riders, the whole league will collapse. I mean that fan base makes the CFL work. 😇

I think Hardrick had a better year than Bryant, but C, RG, RT  as a unit is a force to reckoned with.

Took a quick look on the Rider board. A lot of fans are angry about the lack of all stars in their team. Boo fricking who

Even our guys who have down years are All-Stars.

The West would absolutely demolish the East - that east OL wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.

Argos need someone to look after the water bottles.

the disrespect towards Hurl, Duron & Collaros eh!

Feel JSK got overlooked. Was almost as good as Bighill. 

It’s a joke that they don’t separate the positions more specifically than “LB”, “OT” etc. There shouldn’t be two left tackles or MLBs on these lists. Also, Loffler absolutely did not deserve an all star nod this year.

couldn't agree more.... were the other western safeties that bad this season??

It’s better to have categories like how they do it now. 

If you went back to the old way, one of Singleton or Bighill would be out, and that would be more egregious.

As for Loffler, it would be nice to know his assignments, so we could make better judgments, not just some postings that are repeated about his performance. Postings that could be wrong.

And how come nobody says boo about Eastern All-Stars? Like Ottawa, with 11 stars, in the East, where they only have 4 teams.  Seems logical a good team would get more stars than their Western counterparts...

Every system will have its flaws. In the big picture, meh, so what?

No, it wouldn't.  The best MLB would be the all-star.  

Right and left tackle should be separate position - teams put their best lineman at left tackle.

I did - but it wasn't 'boo.'  Cheers. 

When you have league coaches voting..the selections must have validity to them even tho you will get biased reporters at times picking their team they follow guys.

 

We had the least amount of big plays against this year. Loffler has a big part in that. 

 

I trust coaches who watch more film in a season than most fans do in 5 years of watching games.

Ok but that’s really not how All Star selections should work. Should it not be the best player at each position rather than two middle linebackers and no WILs?

It'd be pretty odd if the NHL picked a line a with three left wingers...

I guess if we had a foolproof system maybe more people would be happy. On the other hand, those who are happy with the selections, would be disappointed. 

The positions in football have evolved, and maybe, likewise, so should an all-star selection. All’s I know is, I would have a difficult time not having a Singleton or a Bighill on my all-star team.
