I'm not sure how you anyone who watched how both guys played last year and decide Ford is the better option. Crum isn't a starter but he very much showed he has the potential to be more than a sandlot QB. IMO he was the better option for OTT last season even. Guy just has heart that Brown seemed to be missing. did he retire?

no. In fact they're going to only play with 9 guys on the field because they can't afford to pay anyone else.

For me, this is now on scouting.

I like it as long as hes not the big FA signing. Hes a solid piece to a wr group.

I wonder how much of Eberhardt's success was because of Hatcher? I suppose Wilson/Demski is about as good at drawing coverage as you can get too...

To be fair Eberhardt has a higher YPC than Mack in more games played...BUUUT he's never really been "that guy" like Mack has. I would be ok with taking Eberhardt if Mack proves to want too much $$.

No. I might be inclined to take Eberhardt over Mack honestly.

I could have sworn Johnson signed again with the criders?

I like Mack as well. But he's been injured in every season he's played. Not sure the Bombers have many options though.

I mean with science etc it's not hard to believe. There are some who believe the first person to live forever has already been born....

I dunno...it's probably just a really difficult transition for some guys. They've spent their entire life doing this one thing and then whether they like it or not...it's over. Then they realize they have anywhere from 60-80 yrs of life left and don't know what to do.

I agree. I don't think he'll ever start in the NFL. But I'm not going to get my nickers in a bunch over a 23yr old who believes in himself. If he gets a chance to join a PR maybe that leads to a roster spot....and who knows from there. Again as long as there are outliers who make it happen (and there are). I can understand why he'd doing everything he possibly could to get it done as soon as possible. Playing in the UFL this year he will make more money than coming to the CFL. If he gets a shot to play in the UFL and turns some heads, maybe he gets another shot at a NFL PR. And then he's only 1 play away from a roster spot. Sure he can come up here and light it up and turn heads...but he'd be making less money than he would in the UFL. And every snap could be your last. So make 100k USD or 85k CDN. What would you choose? I know what I would choose.

To be fair, I think Mike was referencing his football career in general not specifically the nfl. But either way, you seem to be offended by his choices. As long as there are stories like Warner out there its easy to believe guys will believe in themselves and chase their goals. And if Streveler can get an NFL pension, Elgersma has at least a chance

Forsure, I was just pointing out that if he wants to make bank right now...that's his best option. It will also give him some film for NFL teams. I'm not saying it will lead to an NFL roster spot...but maybe PR? Either way, I fully believe the rookie cap is why he isn't currently a Blue Bomber.

He's been drafted by a league that will pay him more than the CFL for a bit anyway.
