I can see you have trouble following a conversation. I never said our receivers were the best, but they are dam good. Suspect Oline? That's a good one too. Dennis Labatte Clark Dykowski Coleman, looks good to me -

Jones was asked on the sportscage about Collins taking a few reps. He said Collins approached him and told him he has played some db in the past. Jones threw him in for a few snaps to see what he could do. But don't let this interrupt your blind bashing of Jones. Funny thing is I am very critical of Jones myself, but I still try to stay on point. -

LOL. Ya your receivers are better than ours. I get that we are struggling right now. But at receiver, we are as good as anyone and better than most -

He was with you last year in a mini camp, wasn't good enough to make your team -

It was a serious question. Not chirping. I'm sure some of you posters that make fun of our lowly 4 wins weren't even alive the last time you won. I was 18 in 89 when we won so I know how it felt to actually experience it. You guys are on your way in the right direction. No bullshit, I hope you win one soon. It would be awesome to see it happen. I just hope it isn't against us. I'll be cheering for the Bombers if the Riders are out, like I always do. -

Were you alive the last time the Bombers won one? -

Bakari Grant having a very good camp. Carter, Roosevelt, Grant, Collins/ Holley likely are the four American starters. Some Rider fans thought otherwise, this is my guess anyway. -

Riders were 8-1 when he went down. He wasn't putting up the greatest numbers but we were winning. Or does that excuse only apply to Nichols? -

Durant doesn't get hurt and we were would probably have been in the hunt in 2014. We were bat **** crazy off the rails in 15 and 16. 16 is hard to take because Jones cut deeper than he needed in his mighty rebuild. 16 is on Jones and not Taman. So was the cup worth it, dam right it was. -

Did he? Debatable. Defence was good when Hall was in charge. Taman spending money like a drunken sailor. Chamblin was known to have favorites( not a good trait for a head coach). BUT we were successful under Chamblin for a while, it was the success that went to his head, and ultimately was his undoing in the end. -

You are bang on here. We will win 8 and he will be on the bubble. To me it hinges on the defense. As far as I'm concerned, he was brought in here for one reason, to build a defense that can win a cup. 8 wins with a much improved defense and he will be back. 8 wins and a bad defense again, fired. There will be many fans that want him back no matter what, but I am not one of them. Win or hit the road. -

When Jones gets his ass fired out of here, he will be remembered the same way. For now, most fans are hoping he will deliver a good team first. Chamblin is also hated for getting rid of Ritchie Hall, who a lot of fans like. -

6 or 7 at least. Not a big Glenn fan myself but 48k passing yards says he can at least play in the league -

If you want to argue my posts. Please argue them on what I have actually said. I never said Nichols only looked good because of the defense. I said he gets too much credit. There is a difference there. As far as Lefevour, the guy is brutal. to say otherwise is total blind blue goggles talking. Been with 4 or 5 teams, has thrown more picks than td's in his career. Noodle arm, all he does is run around. You guys got something good going with Nichols and Davis, but please don't defend signing Levefour because that is over the top IMO -

I wasn't there. Read camp report on Riderfans. It said he was on the field. Other than that I don't know any different -

I never rated the Riders higher. I see all of them about the same. somewhere between bad and unproven. As far as the bombers having Davis ahead of Bennett, you know that means nothing. Franklin was ahead of Nichols in Edmonton. Would you trade a proven Matt Nichols right now for a unproven Franklin from Edmonton?? -

As a outsider looking in I find it interesting that Nichols gets so much credit for your season last year when IMO it was the defense that did the job. Nichols didn't hurt you and did have some good games but that's about it. As I have said before, I like where the Bombers are at and where they are headed but still don't feel you have a top tier qb. But they don't grow on tree's so a team needs to find someone they can win with and someone the players believe in, you have both of those covered with Nichols -

Davis unproven, lefevour proven to be bad. Bennett unproven, Bridge unproven, Young unproven and probably cut. -
