I would take all or any of those trade offs with a big smile on my face. I would even take prime WIllie in a tie with prime Hunt.

Perhaps the least controversial statement all offseason.

Agreed, and there are a couple real intriguing options that hopefully play up to their promise/pedigree.

Tom Clements arguably but certainly not definitively. If we are going to talk past Bomber that would make the biggest impact, it's gotta be Milt.

Perhaps, and that is the case with a lot of guys who go the Junior football route instead of USports and that certainly is no knock on any of them, as a university education isn't what it used to be.

Still a huge adjustment.

Big jump from Usport to CFL. I'm not shitting on the kid, but the likelihood he is as good or better than any of our rookie NAT receivers seems pretty remote to me. I hope he develops into the talent that allows us to make him a territorial exemption but the likelihood he does so in this first rookie camp is pretty low. Hope I'm wrong though.

I hope you are right, as he would be a territorial exemption, but it a pretty big leap from Rifles to CFL.

For sure. That's what I liked about Jaworski, he was more of a traditional DE not undersized. The pocket will be collapsing for sure. If we can get a guy that can get the LT backpedaling QBs will have to deal with either getting sacked by Willie J or throwing right into his wingspan. JC is a dominant guy and will make a ton of difference. He was my number one choice for the Bombers to target in FA and I'm glad they felt the same.

I thought Jaworski was going to be our guy opposite Willie. That sucks.

Toronto unfortunately will never turn a profit no matter what the CFL does. These moves weren't made to get them out of red ink. They just don't support the CFL there. Too bush for the centre of the universe. Corporate support will never happen because any business clients would be insulted by Argo tickets at BMO instead of Leafs/Raptors/Jays.

Extra games equates to more attendance and bigger tv revenues by default really. Will it grow the game to a new demographic? Doubtful....but that's been the problem since the 90's.

Our entire season goes up against MLB, and outside of Toronto this isn't a particularly big threat to CFL ratings. NHL playoffs are though, both TV and the gate. I like an earlier start to the season, but only if it were to result in an October Grey Cup. This won't. I don't really care about the playoff format one way or the other, but I have always thought the East/West seperate playoffs until the final was dumb as some weak teams got in while better teams (mostly in the West) were not in. I like that this could allow for a Saskatchewan/Winnipeg Grey Cup. Im not sure the league would love that tho.

Scouting staff and GM actually were the ones who brought the player to the attention of the coaches according to Walters. That was when the coaches approved of the GM's interest in the player....so NOT 100% Condell, although his endorsement likely helped. This was a guy that the scouts and GM loved before the coaches ever saw his tape.

Loser of 1v2 may not even make it back to the game.
