    I have to say I respect that aspect of O'Shea and Walters. Healthy scratches a guy who gets stabbed and/or stabs. Doesn't throw him under the bus to the media. "Supports" him. But, he and Walters pull

I honestly believe he has legit mental health issues. I try not to interact with him on forums. I'm worried he'll show up at my house...

I am with you. 

I honestly worry for the guy.

Matthews will thrive with Khari

i could see Montreal finishing first in the East

this signing absolutely could come back to haunt us ha

yes and no... just because he does well in Mtl.... does not necessarily mean he was ever going to do well here... maybe he was just a square peg in a round hole offense...

No I just mean he’ll catch the winning TD in the grey cup against us

yes... that is a thing that would happen to the bombers!  😭

I like Khari and what's he's done but come on now... VAJ isn't that good of a player.   It will be an incremental boost for them but they still have lots of other weaknesses.

They're in the east though. They dont need to be good to get to the grey cup. And Vaj is good and creating time and chucking it up.

This surprises me from Brown. Basically, it's all LaPo's fault. Really? For a guy who has been in the locker room and on the field, shouldn't a large part of the responsibility fall on a player with 12 catches and an off field stabbing incident? The more I listen to him, the more I think he's just trying to be a "hot take" machine. You're no Stephen A Smith my friend.

It's both qb and oc. The problem isn't one dimensional. No wr is gonna look great in our system. 

There is some truth to Brown's comments. We don't run an offense where many wr will flourish. It's basically been Adams. Lapo's system seemingly doesn't allow for 3-4 wr to excel like Calgary's and Edmonton's do.

Agree with not looking great, in the sense of putting up huge reception numbers in a ball control, run heavy offense. However, he was supposed to be a legitimate threat. Double team, home run type threat. He was not. He was single covered, often not by their best cover DB. If you replaced him for Brandon Zylstra, I'm not saying Zylstra gets 100 receptions in this offense, but he's going to be double teamed, score some TD's and take some pressure off of Harris.

He wasn't getting open. 

If you want 50/50 balls your way make catches. Wasn't doing that either.

I did say that a "large" part of the responsibility falls on Matthews, meaning not all the responsibility. LaPo's offense is not designed to have 5000 yards passing for sure. However, Darvin Adams consistently puts up very good numbers despite the offense's limitations. I was expecting similar numbers from Matthews. I think the team was too. 

Don't understand the angst about cutting Matthews.....if a fresh start without the off field stuff does him good.....more power to him.  But cost/production ratio, here was simply unsustainable.

Come back and haunt us.....yeah sure...just like Adarius Bowman did....How long did he last in Mont. following the same route....Of course he's going to have a better coach etc. BUT I think when your best before has past.....well you know
