mbrg Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I know the Riders have a brand new stadium they are excited to unveil, but with this newest development, will the strain on concessions be too much? The Classic and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Even the Pro Bowl spots he had are deceptive, injury replacement both times. In 2009, he was like one of 7 or 8 AFC QBs named to a Pro Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Reading Young's wikipedia article, damn there is some baggage there, and a bunch of mediocre numbers in the NFL. Add in five years out of football to dull his instincts, him not being in game shape ... and this has big dud written all over it. Wonder if they'll use him as a wildcat runner? Ease him in as a change-of-pace QB? If he's got any giddy-up at all maybe he can push some CFL LBs around, but then the Riders' interior OL is pretty weak, probably not great to run behind. I think the best scenario for Kevin Glenn is to be #2 out of camp and then pick up the pieces when Young flames out. Otherwise, if he hits any kinda rough patch, the calls for Young are gonna be deafening. I remember when the Ottawa Rough Riders parachuted Andre Ware (another Leigh Steinberg guy) in to save the franchise. The first game he dressed, the Riders' starter (was it Sammy Garza?) was stinking it out, the whole crowd started chanting WE WANT WARE. And eventually Ware went in, scored a touchdown off a turnover / short field, and that was his brightest moment in the CFL.

Captain Blue Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 This VY signing is guaranteed to be a circus and it'll be so much fun to watch. Watched Vince Young for many years (Titans fan), and I highly doubt time out of football has magically made him a better player. Would have been a great CFL player if he wasn't 34, out of shape, and had actually played football at any time recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 The only thing that worries me is that all logic says this will go horribly for the Riders. Why is that a problem, Jimmy? Because how often does sports follow all logic? I just hope, nay pray, that this all goes how we all think it will. Regina, the Riders and their fans especially deserve a season that mirrors our opening of IGF. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_fanaddict Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 VY couldn't crack the 2012 Bills roster or the 2014 Browns roster...... that's pretty sad. And a 46-51 TD to INT ratio. Ohhhhhh this is gonna be fun to watch. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal optimist Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 How do you guys not see the genius that is Jonesy? Obviously he didn't sign Young as a plug-and-play QB upgrade... Young is obviously their import offensive lineman that can also run the fumblerooski...and throw in a pinch. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Quote The 61-year-old head coach will make north of $600,000 annually on his three-year deal with the Argos, per sources. Head coaches in the CFL generally earn in the $275,000 to $400,000 range while those with a dual general manager-head coach title can expect a salary in excess of $500,000. For Trestman to be among the top-paid executives in the CFL while solely a head coach is likely to garner attention around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coach17 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Boy that's sure not going to make the players happy. No cap on coaches/management, but a tight cap on the guys putting their physical health on the line week in and week out. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
