November 8, 20231 yr comment_673091 We can merge this with the league thread. No need for so many individual threads all the time.
November 8, 20231 yr comment_673107 Not a single Rider, but they just extended their general manager for three years.. NICE!

Not everyone can invest the time or has the inclination to delve as deeply as you do on this site, reading through every comment in every thread. Personally, I value dedicated threads for unique topics like the annual CFL All-Star awards. While general discussion threads are perfect for weekly conversations, certain topics, including this one, deserve their spotlight independently.
November 9, 20231 yr Author comment_673166 It isn't as though he's not all-star calibre, but the fans picking Robertson Daniel considering the time he's missed is unfair to others who put in a full year's work at a high level.

Tbh it’s got a bunch of trash picks. Awe especially but a few others too. this is the worst of the all star lists and almost always is that way. 18 hours ago, Noeller said: We can merge this with the league thread.

To quickly summarize the justification for Chad Kelly: the stats show he's clearly not the best QB in the league... but his team was really good so we'll give him the nod by default

Sure, he's the QB of a historically good team, but it's the "valuable" argument that make him look best. And 1 for 1, I don't think there's a guy in the league I'd feel happy to swap him for.

How Revenburg, Broxton and Matte made that list after how bad their respective OL's were is complete nonsense. Edited November 9, 20231 yr by GCn20

I don't totally disagree with the selection... I just thought the justification was a joke... and assuming his contract didn't carry over (bc that would obviously effect the roster composition)... the Argos would be an even better team with Collaros as QB

Lots of love for BC's secondary that was pretty average for the last 2/3 of the season too. Leading the league in passing yards against should have got us the obvious edge for that, an OL that surrendered the 2nd least sacks and BY FAR the best running game and they choose our weakest OL all by himself? Just a terrible, terrible take. I could have thrown darts at a players list and come up with better than that. Edited November 9, 20231 yr by GCn20
November 9, 20231 yr comment_673194 My question is how do you not have either Jefferson or Jeffcoat on either the 1st or 2nd all-star teams? That makes no sense to me at all.

Hodge has been downright loony this year in his CFL takes. I have to wonder if he even watches the games sometimes. Edited November 9, 20231 yr by GCn20
November 9, 20231 yr comment_673205 Perusing the 3DN All-Star team picks during my morning coffee was an absolute hoot. Had a good laugh seeing Hodge showcase his ignorance by championing Kolankowski as a league all-star. I haven't chuckled this much since my first read of A Confederacy of Dunces! Similar characters at work too!

As Mike has said in here many times, there are several posters on this board that are more knowledgeable and are likely better writers than him. It's ridiculous.

It would be harder to find people on this board that post regularly who aren’t more knowledgeable then him, I never really had anything against him but yeah he has some really outlandish takes.
November 9, 20231 yr comment_673224 The one thing they got right that others got wrong was giving Nichols the nod and recognizing he doesn't get thrown at enough to collect flashy stats that reel in votes. Willie getting snubbed is insane, his impact on the game goes way beyond sacks and he was still top 5 there... just nuts. The Kola nod has got to be a PFF thing as he consistently graded pretty high. All-Stars should stand out in a good way and to my eyes he stood out most when flopping around and making a mess. Not to say he didn't get the job done (ask Brady and Zach), but when I think Bomber Oline I think Neufeld-Bryant-Hardrick, those votes at least make sense to me Edited November 9, 20231 yr by MOBomberFan word
