February 12, 20205 yr comment_461707 11 minutes ago, Mike said: The problem is, for every player they gained, they seem to have lost one. They gained Davaris Daniels, they lost SJ Green. They gained Juwan Brescacin, they lost Derel Walker. They gained TJ Jones, they lost Armanti Edwards. They gained Drake Nevis, they lost Cleyon Laing. They gained Tommie Campbell, they lost Jonathon Mincy. They gained Alex Bazzie, they lost Freddie Bishop. They gained Phil Blake, they lost Ryan Bomben. They gained Dariusz Bladek, they lost Sean McEwen. It's great that they made a big splash but this is literally what happened to Edmonton last year and it didn't net them anything. They've shuffled around a lot of who they spend their dollars on, but I fail to see how they have a better roster today than it was before. That being said - I do think they have some strong areas on their roster, but in addition to all the losses I already mentioned, they still have to find a way to resign Frank Beltre, Davon Coleman, Tobi Antigha, Micah Awe, Jermaine Gabriel and Rodney Smith (or equal replacements) That’s fair. I guess it comes down to a matter of opinion on who we believe is the better quality player. And I by no mean think they are a good team. But I just don’t believe they have taken a step back. Like I said if the east is still weak they could be a sleeper team claim that last spot and prevent the cross over.

IDK if Dinwiddie is a top tier or even mid tier head coach... But mere competence will look a quantum leap forward by comparison.

Thanks for triggering me. I need a juice box, play dough and my safe space now.

February 12, 20205 yr comment_461817 Desperate for credibility they try to build a team through signing expensive FAs. Truly uncharted waters for the Argos
February 12, 20205 yr comment_461822 This off season won't spell immediate success for the Argos. But the blue print for winning in the CFL is clear. Quality CNDs - Line control - QB. (not necessarily in that order). They are taking the right steps toward that. Trick will be maintaining it for he next few years.
February 12, 20205 yr comment_461830 Argo's.....green head coach....Yes we've seen that before and the lack lustre result...I hope Dimwoodie is as cerebral as they say....argos are gonna need a mastermind

Truly uncharted waters for the Argos They don't have the luxury of a huge solid fan base that will continually watch the games thru thick and thin. They can't do the same process of rebuilding like the Bombers did. They need to be credible and relevant like right now.

Unless their scouts can find an entirely brand new wealth of depth. Giving almost a million dollars away for the combination of Matt Nichols, TJ Jones and Davaris Daniels is ridiculous.

Add in MBT and its more like 1.2-1.3 million between those 4 guys.....Yikes. Edited February 12, 20205 yr by Bubba Zanetti

Great player, needed some time to develop, now definitely a top tier talent that needs an opportunity. At worst a quality back up that can play multiple positions if asked to do it on a short term. Very happy with this signing. How did I do?
